Transcript

WIZARD AND HIS WITCH ARRIVES IN TOWN Mr. Campbell Wilson with his wife and daughter at Dublin Airport to-day. A FAMILY of witches landed in Dublin to-day, aboard an airliner from the Isle of Man. Mr. Campbell Wilson, his wife Monique, and nine-year-old daughter, Yvette, all live at the Museum of Magic and Witchcraft, at Castletown, in the Isle of Man. Yvette is not old enough yet to be a witch, but her mother and father are both practising members of the cult. Day off To-day the three took a day off from showing visitors around the famous Witches’ Mill, and they are spending it sightseeing in Dublin, along with 33 other holidaymakers on a Hibernian Airlines cheap-day excursion. The Wilsons would not say how many witches live on the Isle of Man, one of Europe’s strongest witchcraft centres. “Heads are too easy to count, and there is a certain amount of discrimination against witches. Some have been known to lose their jobs when people found out they were one of us,” said Mr. Wilson.
