Woman accidentally stabs herself with 36-inch sword

A woman accidentally stabbed herself in the foot with a 36-inch sword while performing a Wiccan good luck ritual at a Lebanon cemetery.

Police say 36-year-old Katherine Gunther of Lebanon pierced her left foot with the sword while performing the rite at Oak Hill Cemetery on Saturday. Gunther says she was performing the ceremony to give thanks for a recent run of good luck. The ceremony involves the use of candles, incense and driving swords into the ground during the full moon.

Gunther said was aiming to put the sword in the ground, but hit her foot instead.
