 There is a reading of this discourse on which both sentences in it are true even if there are no witches, so that “a witch” in the first sentence must take narrow scope with respect to “Hob thinks”. But then the scope of “a witch” cannot extend to the second sentence to bind the pronoun “she”, since the “scope” of “Hob thinks” doesn’t extend to the second sentence. Hence on the reading in question, which we shall call the Geach Reading, the pronoun “she” is not a bound variable. Further, since there are no witches, and “she” is anaphoric on “a witch”, “she” in the second sentence must in some sense being used to “talk about” a non-existent witch. Thus, it apparently cannot be a referring term either, since its alleged referent doesn’t exist. So here again we have an anaphoric pronoun that cannot be understood as a referring expression nor as a bound variable. Examples of this sort are sometimes referred to (misleadingly, in our view) as instances of intentional identity.
