Came by to check out the witch rock. It is under a top cover plexiglass, and has small objects left for her (painted rock, statues and flowers). There's a nice plaque beside it explaining the story.

I couldn't really make out a handprint but still worth seeing. The rock is located right next to the historic old jail and the town is very charming.
