A ‘witch doctor’ has been jailed for eight months after claiming he could cure a blind man – by feeding him gherkins laced with LSD.
Jobless hairdresser Patrick Baecker, 35, posed as a mystic healer and told Axel Pfeffer he would make him see for £20,000.
The court in Fehmarn, Germany, heard how the former motorcyclist had tried everything to restore his sight after losing it in a crash.
But instead Baecker fed him pickles laced with powerful mind-bending hallucinogenic drugs to induce visions. ‘You are a hairdresser, not a shaman,’ Judge Markus Faerber told Baecker in court.

That poor motorcyclist obviously not only lost sight if he believed that any person like this witch doctor could help him (and for that amount of cash...).

If I had a euro every time I heard that!
