Description: Sitting in front of our computers, we feel pretty sure that we live in a modern world, much "advanced" from the time centuries ago when epilepsy was thought to be caused by demons. That's why it's a shock to read an article like the one that appeared in The Boston Sunday Globe on September 2, 2001, telling of an old man in Slovakia who murdered an 80-year-old woman because he thought that her witchcraft was responsible for his granddaughter's epilepsy.
