HALIFAX -- A Halifax witch says too much toil and trouble is forcing her out of town.

For weeks, Shauna Cook, 37, says she's been targeted in her Halifax home because she is a hedge-witch natural healer.

Now, two of her pagan friends have been attacked, with one stabbed in the back and another struck in the head with a rock.

Shortly after midnight on Saturday, an 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy were leaving Cook's house to catch the bus when they were approached by four male teenagers, who asked the pair where they were going.

After saying they were going home, the boy was attacked.

Two more people jumped into the fight, making it six attackers in all.

The young woman ran back to Cook's house and tried to phone police.

While on the phone, one of the attackers threw a rock through a window and hit her in the forehead.

Meanwhile, the 17-year old boy was being beaten and stabbed in the back before he made it back to the house himself.
