said "kill me, so that you will have to give an account to God". Incarceration and execution The accused were incarcerated in the castle of Terrassa and tortured. As it was impossible for the Inquisition to convene a retrial, the women were kept in the 'Torre del Palacio' or Palace Tower until a civil trial was convened. Once convicted, their sentence was read out publicly and five of the women were hanged in the area 'Pedra Blanca' near to a present day railway bridge, on 27 October 1619. The women hanged were Margarida Tafanera, Eulalia Totxa, Joana Sabina, Guillermina Font (known as Miramunda) and Miquela Casanovas (known as Esclopera). However, to this day, it is not known what happened to Joana Toy. In popular culture In 2015, a found footage film entitled The Last Witch showcased three filmmakers tracking down the story of Joana Toy, a sixth accused woman who disappeared prior to the executions. Toy had confessed to witchcraft while being tortured. The witch trials were dramatized by Francesc Maspons Labrós in the 1880 Catalan magazine 'Lo Gay Saber' with an article titled 'Las Bruixas'.
