Biography[]
Dana Hadley, also known as the White Witch, operated a fortune telling operation on the boardwalk of Los Angeles, California. She carried about a stuffed dog, which she named Leroy. Unlike others of her trade, Dana actually did possess some modicum of psychic power.
Along with several other gifted psychics, Dana visited the Bodega Bay Inn in 1989 to pay respects to a deceased colleague, Neil Gallagher at the request of Gallagher's widow, Megan. Dana had no compunction regarding her feelings for Neil and she let Megan Gallagher know straight off how she thought Neil was a despicable, greedy bastard.
Later, Dana met with the Gallagher's housekeeper, Theresa. She warned Theresa to stay away from the fireplace or else great danger would come to her. Theresa though Dana was crazy and ignored her. As it turned out, the killer doll known as Pinhead beat her to death with a fire poker.
As more strange things continued to take place at the Bodega Bay, Dana began placing mystic wards on everyone's bedrooms.
Pinhead then set his sights on getting rid of Dana himself. He accosted her in her room, breaking her leg. She pushed him away and crawled into the hallway. Pinhead followed her to the elevator and began to punch her repeatedly. Mustering her reserve, she picked the little doll up and heaved it beyond the area of the elevator and down the stairwell. However, she didn't count on another killer puppet, Blade, providing back up. Blade entered the elevator car and sliced Dana's throat wide open. [2]
