Mary Webster was accused of witchcraft in the 1680's in a Puritan town in Massachusetts and sentenced to be hanged from a tree in 1685. According to one of several account she was left hanging all night. It is known that when she was cut down she was still alive and lived for another 14 years. She was an ancestor of Canadian author Margaret Atwood who made Webster the subject of her poem "Half-Hanged Mary."
