I think this story has a lot of potential for a sequel, in which the descendants of the woman that fought off the witches needs help from the spirit of the well again. I'm thinking the mantle that protected the family is broken or sold and it allows the witches to return in full force to plague the descendants. It could be a very creepy story, like the original, but set in modern Ireland. Seems like it could be fun it write.
