“Macleod's Witch” (22)
Note

Angus Macleod travels to Fort Gannon to meet Jonathan Banner with some disturbing news – he believes that a witch is responsible for the dearth of animals caught by his traps. He enlists Banner and Falcon to help him kill her, since he believes that the witch is his own daughter. Falcon warns them that moonless nights bring witches, and sure enough, Macleod believes that Banner's horse is possessed by the spirit of the witch. Banner and Falcon go ahead of Macleod and find his cabin, and his young daughter, Cloris. Cloris is a sweet girl, and feeds Banner and Falcon, but refuses to give them meat, telling them that she is a friend to all animals. Cloris is gone the next morning, and Banner and Falcon catch up to Angus, who has spotted Cloris in the forest with a baby deer. Banner deciphers that Angus's trapping upset Cloris, which is why he hadn't set any traps the past season. He gave up trapping, but blamed his daughter, turning her into a "witch" even though he loves her.
