Summary/Abstract: Many untrue hypotheses and information appeared around the “alleged” witch-craft trial in Doruchow in the second half of the 18th century, which resulted in the death ofsever-al women. The text introduces a new category of sources: vital records registers andconsistory records, which proved to be valuable material not only confirming the event itself,but also revealing the initiators of the trial, defendants, and witnesses.
