Teen Suicides Linked To Witchcraft
Police say two Knox girls stepped in path of train Saturday

(WSBT) Two teenage girls from Knox are dead and police say witchcraft was involved. Investigators say 13-year-olds Sarah Casey and Debra Jean Kawaguchi stepped in front of a train Saturday near County Roads 800 East and 200 South.

Starke County Police say the girls took their lives because they thought they would be reincarnated. Now, police say they're investigating just how deep this it goes in the community, and they're asking outside experts for help.

Investigators say Casey and Kawaguchi got involved in WICCA, a form of withcraft, and the girls believed by committing suicide they would be reincarnated.

"We are going to talk to students to see if they know anything and to see if anybody else if involved," says Starke County Sheriff Bob Sims.

Friends of the victims at Knox Middle School say they know of other students who have also participated in what is sometimes called a religion.

"In school, I just had a girl tell me that she practiced witchcraft with them," says classmate Darienne Griffith.

Police are now looking for answers into a practice they didn't know even existed in their community.

WICCA is said to have a deep respect of nature and spirituality, and doesn't condone suicide.

What state is this in? The reaction sounds like the rednecks i lived around in indiana (no offense, movieman). I had a teacher in 5th grade say they melted babies into candles :confused:


I am interested to hear what Haunted has to say about this. She is Wiccan.

At least they got that right, I have been a practicing witch for nearly 20 years and have never read anything remotely connected with suicide. Sounds like their problems were a little more deep seated. Cant wait to have more publicity from a bunch of ignorant folks who are going to run around and start screaming that we worship the devil.

As for the authorities not knowing that this is going on in their community, So, why would they? Are they going to go door to door and check and see if people have bible on the table or a copy of a book by Ann Moura.

Good point. and even if they did, would anyone give them an answer? probably not many.

Still to many fear what they dont understand, my inlaws are diehard catholics and when my first child was born they told my lady that it didnt matter what religion they were as long as it was Christian. They dont know my beliefs and dont ask but I think the small pentagram hanging in the door frame to the entrance of my home is a giveaway. I dont wear it on my sleeve but I am not going to hide it either, since the late 50s I believe, I may be wrong about the time frame, but society has become more open to the idea of old ways and beliefs. If somebody asks I tell them, most people dont seem to have a problem with it. Occasionally you get a funny look but........
