Anna Klemens

Anna Klemens

Anna Klemens, (1718-1800), was an alleged Danish witch. She was lynched accused of sorcery in Brigsted at Horsens in Denmark, a lynching called the last witch lynching in her country and, most likely, in Scandinavia.

Anna Klemens was consulting a woman of the cunning folk together with several other people. When she entered, the "Wise One" cried out; "Here we have the master of all the witch craft!". She told the others present to beat Anna up, as it was the belief that the magic of a witch left her when her blood had ben spilt. The people gattered obeyed her, and Anna was beaten to death.
