When people think about witchcraft today; they think of the current Halloween stereotype of a witch…women in tall pointy hats with large noses stirring potions in a black cauldron while plotting their evil actions. But in the 17th century; witchcraft was a very real and serious crime for which a person could lose their life.

It wasn’t until 1736 that Scotland repealed the Witchcraft Act of 1563, which ensured that the prosecution of witches were banned. But this was too late for seven women who lived in the town of Paisley in the west central lowlands of Scotland.

So get comfortable my spooky friends…you are about to hear the tale of the Paisley witches.

The number of military and civilian fatalities caused by World War II is estimated to be between 50 to 56 million people, with an additional 19 to 28 million deaths being caused by war related disease and famine. Out of all the areas that this war was fought, none were active as long as the area called the Pacific Theatre. The constant war in this area triggered a civil war and famine that is estimated to have killed more people that currently live in the countries of Canada and Australia combined.
