In 1911 a family outside of Pottsville, Pennsylvania felt they were cursed by a witch who set a strange black cat upon them. The cat could grow gigantic in size, was unable to be killed with normal bullets, and brought all manner of bad luck in its wake. Years later, members of the family insisted the hexcat was still haunting them.
