“They said my [staff] were the same as terrorists and likened them to devil worshipper­s and ATTACK CLAIM Witch Toni Hunt ISIS. They threatened to burn the place down.” The store, Spellbound, sells occult books, Tarot Cards, crystals, spell ingredient­s and voodoo dolls in the shadow of Gloucester Cathedral.
