Grace White Sherwood (1660–1740), called the Witch of Pungo, is the last person known to have been convicted of witchcraft in Virginia. A farmer, healer, and midwife, she was accused by her neighbors of transforming herself into a cat, damaging crops, and causing the death of livestock. She was charged with witchcraft several times. The court ordered that Sherwood's guilt or innocence be determined by ducking her in water. If she sank, she was innocent; if she did not, she was guilty. Sherwood floated to the surface and may have spent almost eight years in jail before being released.

  • 格蕾丝·怀特·舍伍德(英語:Grace White Sherwood,1660年-1740年)人称“庞戈女巫”,是弗吉尼亚殖民地已知遭巫术罪名定罪的最后一人。她以务农为生,做过助产士,还会用草药为他人治病。邻居指控她会变幻成猫,还会破坏庄稼、导致牲畜死亡。舍伍德多次受到使用妖法的指控,1706年,她被控妖惑伊丽莎白·希尔并导致后者流产。法庭裁决将舍伍德浸入水中来判断她是否有罪,如果沉下去,她就是无辜的,否则就有罪。舍伍德浮上了水面,由此导致可能长达8年的牢狱之灾,这也是她最后一次受到巫术罪名指控。 2006年7月10日是舍伍德遭定罪300周年。弗吉尼亚州州长蒂姆·凯恩宣布舍伍德当年遭受了冤狱,并恢复了她的名誉。弗吉尼亚海滩独立大道的森塔拉碧沙医院附近树立起一座舍伍德的雕像,这里距她当年受审的殖民地法院很近。雕像上她身边还站有一只浣熊,代表她对动物的热爱,后面背的筐里盛有蒜和迷迭香,相当于对她在草药治疗领域知识的认可。 (zh)
