She was said to be 'possessed of some kind of supernatural power'.
Subscribe to our daily newsletter!An image from Illustrated Police News purportedly featuring Emma Davies displaying 'supernatural' power.
It all took place in Weston Lullingfields and Wem, and involved furniture moving by itself, knives flying about and even a real-life exorcism - subjects so intriguing that it's perhaps not surprising a newspaper in Yorkshire as well as others around the country were also interested in the tale.The Sheffield Daily Telegraph article initially reads as if it were fiction, as it compellingly details events of the previous fortnight involving Emma Davies.
The article, uncovered in the British Newspaper Archive, reads:"It is even reported that a clergyman visited a house at which the girl was staying and went through some kind of religious exorcism, but without effect, the manifestations going on as vigorously as ever." That's perhaps not surprising as she obviously wasn't a real witch, but the article gets more interesting as we slowly but surely find out more about Emma, from her appearance to her personality.
The correspondent appears to have had very little time for the youngster's games, describing her as a"finished performer." Perhaps that's why she soon ceased the apparent faux tears and agreed to show the journalist some of her magic moves. Well, to answer the 'how', the writer contacted the house that employed Ms Davies when the"supernatural events" first started. It was there that he had the good fortune to speak to a"waggoner" called Williams.
