Spoilers ahead
In the 13th century, three women are accused of witchcraft and meet a grim fate at the hands of a priest. One of the women claims to be a witch under the church’s persuasion, while another openly denies her innocence and curses the priest. He proceeds to hang them and commands the guards to hoist their bodies up again for a ritual aimed at ensuring they never arise from the dead; however, the guards dismiss his orders, declaring them dead enough. Terrified that they might resurrect, the priest sneaks back under the cover of night to perform the ritual himself. He completes the rite successfully for the first two bodies, but the third, who identifies herself as a herbalist, emerges with a demonic form and slays the priest.
