Boston Calling

Don Miguel Angel says he isn’t just a shaman. He calls himself a brujo -- or a male witch. He lives in a small Peruvian town called Cachiche. During the Spanish Inquisition, several women accused of witchcraft escaped to Peru and settled there. Today, the area is known for its witchy history. (Cachiche, a town in Peru, is known for its “seven-headed palm tree’’ that some say is bewitched. Credit: PRI’s The World)
