 Joan Wytte 1775-1813. Cornish woman also known by the name of the Fighting Fairy
Woman of Bodmin. She was said to be clairvoyant and that people would seek her
services as a seer, diviner and healer.
She was known to visit a holy well where
she tied clouties (a charm that is a strip of cloth taken from a sick person).
Which would decay and was suppose to heal the person in a magical
way.
Later on, as a result of a tooth abscess, she became very
ill-tempered and would shout at people. One day, she got involved in
a large fight, where she used her remarkable strength to bash people
senseless and throw them across a room.
She was arrested and sent to jail where she died as a result of
the poor conditions.
