The priest had two boys stand at the door of the church to identify the witches by an invisible mark on their forehead as they went in. On one occasion, one of these boys pointed at the wife of the priest himself, Britta Rufina. People gasped, but she, as she told her grandson who wrote down the story then slapped the boy, and he quickly apologized when he saw who he had pointed at, and said he had been blinded by the sun.
