The true origin of Ursula's father is unknown and Agatha refused to reveal him. At one point she was forcibly brought before the local magistrate, but still she refused. The scandalous nature of Agatha's life and Ursula's birth meant the two were ostracized from society and forced to live alone, in the same cave Ursula was born, for the first two years of Ursula's life. Rumors Agatha was a witch and Ursula the spawn of Satan were perpetuated because this cave was known to contain a skull shaped pool which turned things to stone. The cave is known today as Mother Shipton's Cave and to this day still turns things to stone.
