double double toil and trouble fire burn
and Bubble Bobble welcome to
watchmojo.com ting down the five most
unbelievable real-life facts about
witches and witch hunts let’s get
started number five nearly one in four
people were accused of witchcraft in
Salem but here’s a witch the first thing
that North Americans think of when they
hear witch hunt is probably Salem
Massachusetts there were lots of witch
hunts before and after Salem and many of
them had more casualties than in Salem I
mean essentially the devil knows that
but the thing with Salem is that it had
only 600 residents and 140 of them were
tried for witchcraft this led to 19
executions by hanging seven deaths in
prison including two infants they
actually had to make a special set of
chains for her she was so small and one
man who is crushed by rocks in an effort
to make him plead following an English
tradition large stones were placed on
him in order to press the truth out of
him the Salem ordeal was terrifying
because everyone in the town knew the
supposed victims and anyone in the town
could be accused if they’re really
witches why don’t they use their powers
to escape that sounds like witch talk to
me Lisa never mind
number four witches are lighter than
Bibles apparently
people once reasoned that witches had to
be light in order to fly so one test for
witchiness was to weigh an accused woman
next to a Bible this might sound like an
easy test to pass but back in the day
books were heavier much much heavier the
hefty Ismene script bible ever found was
a hundred and sixty pounds and the
popular macklin bible was 130 it isn’t
likely that either of these Bibles were
used in the trials but neither was a
Gideon pocket Bible some unfortunate
people did somehow fail these weighing
tests probably as a result of which
hunters bribing the way house staff if
she why’s the same as a duck she’s made
of wart and therefore await away
number three witch hunt still happened I
came up to 110 people who was identified
to be in which yes actual
non-metaphorical witch hunts are still
happening most of them are in Africa the
South Pacific and Latin America but
occasionally they happen in the United
States and Europe to the UN estimates
that thousands possibly even over a
million people are beaten banished or
murdered each year because of witchcraft
accusations in India in 2014 a medal
winning javelin thrower was attacked by
a mob because of a single witchcraft
accusation in Ghana there are a handful
of so-called witch camps where people
mostly elderly widows can take sanctuary
from their accusers I mean you’re only
known remember but yeah that doesn’t
matter
I’m possibly never
resolution number two good juju wins
soccer games and he’s worried that the
juju from the Eagles is being picked up
and he’s concerned it’s because I’m
spending time with you oh I messed up
the Eagles juju charms sorcery and which
doctors play a big part in the soccer
scene of some African countries in 1992
the Ivory Coast sports minister hired
witch doctors to help them win the
African nations Cup they won the
championship but did not fully pay back
their witch doctor until ten years later
where is my goddamn money you bum the
fee was about two thousand US dollars
which sounds like a pretty reasonable
price for an international championship
I mean I’d pay that sheep guts lizard
parts and other magical charms are often
hidden around soccer stadiums or found
in dressing rooms at big soccer games in
Zimbabwe number one South Africa has an
anti witch-hunt police but as the
continent charges towards the 21st
century there are still mysterious and
ancient forces at work here the unit was
established at the beginning of the post
apartheid period and mostly focused on
Satanist conspiracy theories there’s not
enough police officers that can do this
job because many police officers fear
these people it was run by dr. Kobus
Hound of God junker who kept weird
occult items on display around his
office such as animal skulls candles
made from human fat and a chained Bible
the unit shut down in 2006 after
complaints of persecution by pagans and
those with traditional tribal beliefs
the unit reopened in 2012 under new
management and with the important goal
of preventing witch hunts in rural
communities that said the new 40 officer
units credibility is kind of put into
question by its additional focus on
curses vampirism spiritual intimidation
and quote allegations of rape by
Tokoloshe spirits in South Africa
everyone scared too badly of the
Tokoloshe people very superstitious the
believers unlock supernatural things you
know so what do you think shake the
wedge should we be on the lookout for
witchcraft
oh I’ve heard enough burner
for more heavier than a Bible top tens
and lighter than two duck top fives be
