For It Is Of Old Rumour

... that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.

Jars

I have to say that it's been really cool seeing witch jars in fellow haunters' displays. I can remember standing in a Michael's Craft Store in front of a row of mason jars and one quite literally appeared in my head all dirtied-up with grime and blood - and dangling from a branch.
I imagined a witch holding a small bird over the jar with one hand while waving her other hand in a spell-like fashion before bringing it down on the creature. Splat.

Funny to think of squished dead birds and small animals around the empty farms and fields near the Corn Witch. I guess that's how you'd know you were getting close.
