🔥 Backstory

Mary Beth Lockheart was the only female doctor in Salem during the late 1600s. Renowned for her kindness and skill, she harbored a secret fascination with the paranormal—never practiced, never preached, but quietly believed. While tending to a dying elderly man, his grieving family asked if his spirit would linger after death. Mary Beth hesitated. That pause was enough. They branded her a witch.

She was arrested, tried, and convicted in a mockery of justice. Taken deep into the forest beyond Salem, she was hanged beneath the gallows, her name forever stained. But death couldn’t silence her. Her spirit clawed its way back from the void, fueled by injustice and sorrow.

Now she rides again in Witch Doctor, a black gothic carriage fused with hot rod fury, tearing through the Twisted Metal tournament to clear her name and expose the truth.
