‘Bewitched’ statue in Salem vandalized with red paint

In the wiggle of a nose, a man partially covered the "Bewitched" statue in Salem with red paint, police said.

Witnesses called police to report someone spray painting the bronze statue, Capt. John Burke said on June 7. The statue depicts actor Elizabeth Montgomery, as lead character Samantha Stephens in the 1960s sitcom, sitting on a broomstick in front of a crescent moon.
