A member of Cooger and Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show and Mr. Dark’s most powerful and dangerous freak. The Dust Witch is “blind, but special blind,” and while she can’t exactly read thoughts, she is able to feel, hear, and taste different souls. Mr. Dark sends the Dust Witch to find Will and Jim in the carnival’s hot air balloon, and while she does find them, the boys outsmart her and wash away the evil identifying mark she leaves on Jim’s roof. The Dust Witch can also stop the human heart with her thoughts, and it is in this way that she attempts to kill Charles; however, Charles fends her off with laughter and later destroys her with his smile and happiness during Mr. Dark’s World-Famous Bullet Trick.
