Why didn't she just put a "hex" on them?

Salem's "Wiccan high-priestess" and a companion were charged after leaving a raccoon's head and entrails on the doorsteps of several businesses.

Apparently, the vendetta began over her being fired from a psychic hot-line and plans to limit the number of psychics allowed to come to Salem at Hallowe'en....

Apparently, the raccoon was predeceased.
