When a Whitewater man was arrested inside the city’s water tower in June, he said to the officer: “Do you believe in witches … I have to detonate this tower and kill all the witches.”
Although he was charged with two felonies and two misdemeanors, the man can’t be accused of having a healthy curiosity.
The water tower is believed to be a meeting place for witches, according to www.weirdus.com, and residents once called police on Halloween after seeing people in robes performing a candlelight ceremony next to the tower.
According to the Web site, other rumors about Whitewater’s haunted history include:
Four people have died after reading a secret book that is now kept locked in the university’s library.
The cemeteries in Whitewater form a triangle.
The former Morris Pratt Institute was built to communicate with spirits.
And the city has a series of underground tunnels.
So, when the man was arrested inside the city’s water tower that night, he may have been on a witch hunt.
He was charged with felony criminal damage to property, felony battery to a public officer, misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to court records, and the case against him is pending.
