Of course nowadays we all know that such people (witches) do not exist. Well things haven't always been the same. In the medieval years people believed in the existence of withes.

3 They did not only believe in withes but they also killed every woman considered a witch. They also believed that witches were women controlled by SATAN in order to destroy humanity.

4 WAYS OF KILLING WITCES When people discovered that a woman was a witch they executed her. There were many ways of execution. The most common one was to burn the at the stake. They also had other ways of execution.

6 A REAL STORY A rumour has it that during the 15th century a mother whose kids were ill decided to go to the forest and gather some herbs in order to heal her kids. All of a sudden a man who accidently was in the forest accused her for witchcraft and she was executed.
