The new witch of Wookey: Carole Bohanan AKA 'Carla Calamity' beat off more than 400 other cloaked applicants for the role

Wicked! With spellbinding charm, estate agent wins £50,000 job as Wookey Hole witch
29th July 2009

And the Hex Factor winner is... Carla Calamity.

The former estate agent (real name Carole Bohanan) was yesterday named the new 'resident witch' of Wookey Hole Caves near Wells in Somerset.

She beat 300 other finalists who queued for hours to take part in X Factor-style auditions. In total, 3,000 men and women applied for the job.

Scary bunch: Hundreds of would-be witches and wizards auditioned for the role at the Somerset attraction

Armed with broomsticks, they had 60 seconds to wow the caves' managers and the outgoing witch. She said after her win: 'Going from an estate agent to this is a natural progression I suppose. You need a bit of magic and witchery to sell houses.'

The job comes with a salary of £50,000 pro rata based on work during school holidays and at weekends. Carla Calamity will teach visitors about witchcraft and magic.

In busy times, she will have to leave her rented Shepton Mallet home and sleep in the caves. 'It will be like a palace compared to what I am living in at the moment,' she said.
