You can discover the weirdest things digging into your family history.

For example:

• Apparently, I have a great-great-uncle who was cursed by a witch after stiffing her on the repayment of one-dollar loan. (Why he borrowed a dollar from a witch in the first place is not recorded.)
• I also have a great-grandfather, a beekeeper by profession, who’s alleged to have spontaneously combusted one day while tending his bees.

As far as I can tell, these events are completely unrelated – the two men are on different branches of the family tree, and never met – but I can’t help but imagine that somewhere out there, there’s a witch with unbelievably bad aim.
