Was Voodoo (or spell casting) ever performed in any episodes?


Actually what I'd most like to know is the name of the actor(s) who play(s) the victim of the curse in those episodes.

If you don't have the actors names then I'm interested in finding out episode titles (season & number). Basically episodes which depict magick rituals such as Voodoo cursing or spell casting performed upon a character. How many were there total? Thanks.

There weren't too many voodoo eps, but here's what I can tell you:

Season 1, "Family Reunion/Voodoo". (second story arc) A young woman (Lauren Tewes) comes to the island hoping to find out if she's a missing heiress, and undergoes a voodoo ritual to help her learn the truth. Aired 2/18/1978.

Season 2, "Pentagram/A Little Ball/Casting Director". (first story arc) A reporter (Florence Henderson) is looking for an answer to the mystery of why her romantic interests keep dying, and finds herself involved in a satanic ritual that closely resembles voodoo. Aired 2/17/1979.

Season 4, "The Chateau/White Lightning". (first story arc) The granddaughter (Pamela Franklin) of a long-deceased silent-film star wants to learn more about the lady's frequent co-star to finish a biography on her. She meets up with a man who claims to be the co-star's grandson, but actually turns out to be the co-star himself, who made a pact with the Greek god Pan to be eternally young in exchange for two sacrifices -- of which Vicky is to be the second. The ceremony the man conducts for the sacrifice is eerily voodoo-like. Aired 2/7/1981.

There may be more I haven't seen in a long time. I'll do further research and add to this message when I've got more information. Hope I've been of some help in the meantime!
