That is a Bellarmine jug. So, worth a chunk of money even without the witchy contents.

Not a witch bottle, but of that ilk. This is from the Lynn News, 22/12/1950. It'd be interesting to find the book (if it ever existed that is)

What a creepy story! I'd like to know how they got the parson into the bottle?

Back to flints with holes, apparently flints are fossil remains of jellyfish type creatures.
