George Jacobs’ homemade canes.

During his witchcraft trial, Jacobs’s servant accused him of beating her with these sticks, and others claimed that his specter did so as well. Jacobs tried in vain to insist that it was impossible for any of this to have happened because he was 72 years old with arthritis and could barely stand on his own without the canes, let alone hit someone with them.
