On St. Patrick's Day of 1934, a 23-year-old taxi driver named Albert Shinsky murdered a woman near Ringtown, in Schuylkill County. But this was not a cold-blooded killing; according to Shinsky, the reason he put a lead ball through the heart of Susan Mummey was because a Pennsylvania Dutch witch doctor had told him that it was the only way to remove the evil spell that Mrs. Mummey had placed on him. This is the tragic tale of Albert Shinsky and Susan Mummey-- a tale of murder, superstition, ghosts, and modern-era witchcraft in the Mahantango Mountains.
