Thou hast freed me, so now I can punish the world for my long imprisonment!
~ Sarah Ravencroft

Sarah Ravencroft is the titular overarching antagonist of the 1999 animated film Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost, the second installment of the Scooby-Doo direct-to-video film series.

She is the ruthless, sadistic, homicidal, heartless and vengeful ghost of an evil witch who had been imprisoned inside a spellbook centuries ago. Years after her death, Sarah is sought by her descendant Ben Ravencroft, who frees her from her imprisonment in hopes of learning her magic secrets and conquering the world together.

She was voiced by Tress MacNeille, who also voices Millionara Vanderbucks in Ducktales, The Trina Twins in Mighty Ducks, Hydia in My Little Pony, Valkyran Guard in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Agnes Skinner, Dolph Starbeam, Lindsey Naegle, Dame Judith Underdunk, Francesca Terwilliger, Spud, & Adil Hoxha in The Simpsons, Dil in The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through The Mists, Carol Miller & Ndnd in Futurama, Si and Am in Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, Gilda & Dr. Steinheimer in Recess: School's Out!, Anastasia Tremaine in Cindirela III: A Twist in Time, & Gretel in Disenchantment.

History[]

Past[]

Born in Oakhaven, Massachusetts, Sarah Ravencroft was an evil witch who used unholy magic to torture and/or kill people. She pretended to be a Wiccan (people who worked in tune with the forces of nature for healing and other benevolent purposes) in order to cover up her misdeeds. Even after she was executed in the year of 1657, she still retained her powers and continued to perform dark magic as a ghost. It was only after actual Wiccans imprisoned Sarah's spirit in her own spellbook and buried it that her carnage finally ended.

The Wiccans then buried the book next to the tree where she posed as a Wiccan. However, even after her defeat, tales of her evil power passed from generation to generation of her family, until her descendant named Ben Ravencroft was interested enough to attempt to find her book and continue her vile legacy, under the pretext that he wanted to clear her name.

Present[]

Centuries later after Sarah's defeat, her descendant Ben Ravencroft sought to find the missing spellbook and awaken her so that they could rule the world together. After many failed attempts to find the book, Ben decided to recruit Mystery, Inc. in hopes that they would help him, claiming that Sarah was nothing more than a good-hearted Wiccan. When they finally tracked down the spellbook, Ben revealed his true colors and read a spell that allowed her to escape.

However, Sarah Ravencroft did not wish to conquer the world; she actually wanted to destroy it as revenge for her imprisonment, and even threatened to destroy Ben if he tried to stop her. Ben furiously tried to return Sarah back into the book using her appropriate spell, but she simply laughed and revealed that only a true Wiccan can cast the spell to make it happen. She then proceeded to trap Ben in a magical sphere of cosmic energy.

After some struggling, Velma eventually got hold of the book and gave it to Thorn (the lead singer of the Hex Girls), telling her that she could do the job as she had Wiccan blood in her veins. Sarah laughed at this and tried to kill the two girls herself, but Thorn quickly read the spell and it started taking effect. It destroyed Sarah's magic and started pulling back into the book. Sarah dragged Ben into the spellbook with her, sternly declaring that she would not return to it by herself. Shortly afterwards, a flaming branch fell on the book cremating it as well as killing off the Ravencrofts for all eternity.

Personality[]

Ghost of Sarah Ravencroft

Sarah Ravencroft showing her sadistic side.

Ben gave the false impression that Sarah was a kindhearted woman who helped many sick people who could not afford medical treatment, even though she was accused of being an evil witch.

It soon turns out that these rumors are true: she soon turns out to be was an evil, sadistic and destructive witch with an utter lack of compassion or humane feelings. She is shown to be condescending and egotistical towards others, even towards her own descendant (although she at first seems quite grateful that he freed her).

Powers and Abilities[]

Sarah Ravencroft was arguably the most powerful, dangerous, and terrifying witch the world had ever produced; all the more so since her supernatural powers were both real and potent. Her witchcraft enabled her to perform numerous, yet terrible, and nonetheless spectacular feats:

  • Reanimation/Mind Control: Sarah is capable of animating objects in any way she pleases and placing them under her control.
  • Pyrokinesis: Sarah is able to project blasts of fire.
  • Force-Field Generation: Sarah is able to encase a victim in an unbreakable green force-field of mystic energy.
  • Size Manipulation: Sarah is able to enlarge any target's size.
  • Caligokinesis: Sarah is able to project a green fog-like darkness that consumed any physical matter caught in it.

Trivia[]

  • In the film, Wicca is used as a synonym for "Good Witchcraft". In reality, Wicca is a neo-pagan religion created by a man called Gerald Gardner in the 1950s. Unlike in the film, they do not believe in the concept of black and white magic and reject the stereotypes associated with witches (e.g. riding broomsticks).
  • Given that her descendant Ben Ravencroft shares her last name, this indicates that Sarah mothered a child before her death, most likely a son, because in that way, he would have kept the family surname.
  • For some reason, her spell on the turkey didn’t wear off.
  • In the original script of the film, Sarah's ghost did not exist. Instead, the film ended with the revelation of the fake Witch's Ghost of Mr. McKnight. However, Glenn Leopold added Sarah's ghost to the plot to fit the theme of real monsters unlike disguised people after Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island proved to be a success.
