He said: “Digging around the back of the garden this was dug up. It’s a small bottle containing a lock of hair that has been twisted into a plait.
“The hair looks red but whatever liquid is in the bottle might have discoloured it over the years.”
He added: “I haven’t opened it and have no intention of doing so, in fact, I’m going to bury it again as it’s not only odd but slightly creepy.”
Paul then asked: “Any ideas what it is?”
“Holy [bleep]! Yes, get that BACK in the ground quick snap!! Yikes!!” replied the concerned fan.
A second follower urged Paul to re-bury his finding, saying: “I think there are some Wicca traditions that removed hair from the deceased as they believed it still contained their spirit.

“Also hair plaits sometimes used in buildings for ‘protection’ talisman. I would bury it again.”
“Could be a witch bottle containing spells from many moons ago I’d still put it back underground – take no chances,” insisted a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth added that the bottle could even be filled with urine!
The fan said: “It’s a witch bottle, buried to protect the house occupants and serve as a protective charm.
“It’s possibly filled with urine and a little alcohol. Basically, it’s a bottled spell.”
