In the 1720s, she was a witch and lived in the house of Isaiah Pickett, who, according to the legend, hanged her in the backyard for witchcraft.

Dean Winchester and Gary, now in Sam's body manage to locate Maggie's grave, thanks to some knowledge that Gary has (being a witch himself). They go to the basement of Pickett's house, where they find her grave. Maggie attacks them, but they salt and burn her remains, vanquishing her.
