Hex Bag

&nbsp A hexbag is usually used by witches as a means to kill or injure people who they seek revenge on. In the Episodes "Malleus Maleficarum" and "It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester!", The Winchester brothers find them hidden in places such as behind cabnets or under sofas.

They are usually filled with substances used in witchcraft such as herbs, black cat bones, and even the charred bones of newborn babies.

Once a hexbag is place in a room where the intended victim is present, it's magic is put to work by killing the person by the means the witches intends to kill them. One examples being having them coughing up razors or other sharp objects.

Once a person is being subdued the only way to stop it is to find the bag and burn it. Which could be difficult as they can be hidden almost anywhere in a room.

They can also be used as means of repeling demons, and possibly protection against other supernatural things or beings. The demon Ruby gave Sam and Dean hexbags at the end of Jus In Bello to throw Lillith of their trail for the time being.
