The Wise Woman was a strange person because she remained "very beautiful"(75) even though she was obviously very old.
Many of the townspeople thought that the Wise Woman had "contact with the devil."(75)
She was always available to assist "those in difficulty"(75) by granting their desires/requests.
Since the Wise Woman was able to do such amazing things, the people thought that she was "clearly a witch." (75)
The Wise Woman was sometimes seen "flying through the air"(77) which was very frightening.
Another reason the government wanted to put her in jail was that they know she had "ten barrels of gold"(77), and they wanted to get that money.
