Jeff Lovell’s “The Coven of the Spring” Brings Back Memories of Hanged Ancestors of Residents of Windham More than 300 Years Ago on Gallows Hill

The Coven of the Spring

"While visiting Salem, Massachusetts on a family vacation, Dr. Lovell started pondering what would happen if the Witches were really real. What powers would they have today? How would they work, how would they survive, how would they stay hidden?"

A modern day research chemist, Grace DeRosa, stumbles upon a hidden spring in the woods near Salem, Massachusetts. She discovers that drinking its water imparts fearsome mind control powers, and injects her teenage daughter in hopes of conveying special life advantages. Trouble is, the spring and its ancient secret have been protected for centuries by a coven of Salem Witch descendents, who emerge to terrify and destroy as they attempt to imprison and exploit the girl’s extraordinary powers.
The story is a product of the rich imagination of Dr. Jeff Lovell, a Chicago high school writing and literature teacher. While visiting Salem, Massachusetts on a family vacation, Dr. Lovell started pondering what would happen if the witches were really real. What powers would they have today? How would they work, how would they survive, how would they stay hidden?
The result is Dr. Lovell’s modern day tale of Grace DeRosa, a gifted research chemist, who stumbles upon the concealed spring in the woods near Salem. She discovers that the consumed water imparts unique and fearful powers to read minds, create terrifying mental pictures, and force the user’s will on others. Intrigued by these powers and hoping to use them for good, Grace injects her husband and 17-year old daughter Crissy with the water.

          Two strangers are thrown together to protect a teenager from an ancient, secret Salem cult and its attempt to exploit the girl's extraordinary powers of mind control.

     The powers affect each person differently. Crissy's father turns against his wife and daughter and tries to kill Crissy to protect the secret. Passerby, Clay Foster, a former Navy Seal, saves Crissy from drowning in Lake Michigan's icy waters where her father has pushed her. Clay and his psychologist friend Sharon take Crissy into protection and join forces to destroy the cult before it destroys them. After several fierce fights with the Coven, they escape to Bermuda, where the witches attack them again. Finally, Grace teams up with the threesome and they all return to Salem for a final show down with the The Coven of the Spring.
