B.D., a born-again Christian, accused her mother of witchcraft. Are there still witch trials in the USA?

... Excerpts from EXCLUSIVE: It's a real life FEUD! 30 years after Bette Davis' death her born-again Christian daughter claims her famous mother practiced witchcraft and put a 'demonic' curse on her enemies and family:

Hyman, now 69, who lives in Charlottesville, Virginia is a born-again Christian who runs her own ministry.

In a series of YouTube videos called A Long Day’s Journey Into Light, she shares her ‘testimony’ with her followers.

It includes claims that her mom dabbled in witchcraft, casting spells on her enemies from her bed, and that the star’s ‘demonic’ curse on Hyman and her family led to her grandson’s bipolar diagnosis and her daughter facing terminal cancer.

In a 2015 video, Hyman says: ‘[She] would sit on her bed and she had this big metal wastebasket and she would have her secretary get a piece of clothing from someone who had vexed her, crossed her in her view, and she would take this piece of clothing and she would mumble incoherently and she would then set it on fire and hold it over this metal wastebasket, and laugh as it burned and she dropped it into this container.

‘People’s lives were destroyed. They fell apart. All sorts of horrible things happened to them.’

She also claims to have witnessed her mother’s ‘demonic cackling,’ watching her ‘transform into a Satanic figure, [with] a Satanic face, long claws on the end of her hands,’ scraping at the glass of a terrace door during a 1982 trip to her Davis, California home.

Hyman added that her mother was 'the poster girl for the spirit of control' and described how she became increasingly 'invasive' and destructive' in her and her family's life.

The claims are just another chapter in Hyman’s bitter relationship with her mom, which she exposed in her 1985 tell-all, My Mother’s Keeper: A Daughter’s Candid Portrait of Her Famous Mother.
