Museum of Witchcraft & Magic

Boscastle's endearingly weird museum was founded by occult expert Cecil Williamson in 1960. Today, its collection includes some 3000 objects. Exhibits include witch poppets (a kind of voodoo doll), divination pans, enchanted skulls and a horrific “witch's bridle,” designed to extract confessions from suspected witches.
