Yes, you can. You can't sacrifice (=voluntarily lose) the Hag, but since a 4 at the Temple instructs you to lose 1 Follower, the Hag will be gone (you don't have other Followers to lose).

But assume you have no Hag and Poltergeist + Maiden instead. If you roll a 4 at the Temple, you have to discard one Follower. Perhaps you may house-rule that the Follower is determined at random, but according to the rules you choose which one to discard. Since you can't voluntarily lose the Poltergeist, you must discard the Maiden.

Happened yesterday here: a character had 2 mules,unicorn and poltergeist, rolled a 4 on temple. We thought exactly the same, if you cant decide to "sacrifice" poltergeist you cant "choise" it so he lost a mule, but if you have only poltergeist (or Hag) then you "must" lose it.

No 100% cleared but seem pretty logic from what we read in this forum.

As long as it is not your free will to choose, you may sacrifive the hag, poltergeist, jester etc

But if you may choose ( example: vampire tower) then you may not choose the hag, poltergeist etc
