The Night of the Witch

The Night Of The Witch Halloween is the time when children dress up as witches, gouls and ghosties to celebrate this special yearly event. But there was a time in 1790 that it was a different story, in America and other countries around that time suspected women and men of practicing black magic using evil chants and Spells, and were seeked out by townspeople. A witch was a woman who loved black cats and used secret potions had bubbling cauldrens and Flew around on broomsticks and if caught would be burned at the stake or summarily drowned by the leaders of the witch hunters, all this was the lead up To what we now celebrate as Halloween. Children go around trick or treating, unaware of the folklore of the flying witch on her broomstick and evil doings Children now expect that at midnight witches will make their appearance during the bewitching hour, flying across the face of the moon on their broomsticks. Halloween is really meant to be the night of the Witch.
