LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow
In LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow, Lady Ada Crane served as a recurring flashback character. She was one of the light witches who was a descendant from a Salem Witch Trials survivors that escaped into England. She was the mother of Ichabod Crane, husband of Lord Thomas Crane mother-in-law of Katrina Crane and paternal grandmother of Jeremy Crane.

When Ichabod was eight, Lady Crane was killed by Ara Astaroth who possessed Lord Crane and killed her inside a torture chamber and wiped Ichabod & Lord Crane's memories on her murder, making them to believe that Lady Crane died in sickness. Immediately after the real memories was restored within Ichabod's mind, Lady Crane's death became one of the greatest childhood trauma Ichabod had ever experienced since Ichabod loved his mother very dearly.
