Witches

[London Calling]

Since we are coming up to Halloween etc.


What I can't understand, if witches were so powerful, inaugurating spells, witchcraft, demons etc.

How come they were so easily caught and dunked and burnt?

Or got booted off the District Council.

And on a similar note, if ghosts can walk through walls, why don't they fall through the floor?

Because they don't weigh anything and so are uneffected by the force of gravity.

Then the slightest breeze would play havoc with them and, man, if they get near the central heating vent, they'll be off. . .

Sorry to pull you up on a technicality again old chap but as they have no mass, there is nothing for the breeze (or walls) to affect.

And if they are so powerful why dont THEY sort out all the worlds suffering...

If they've got no mass, how can their chains clank?

Ahhh! The power of SUGGESTION.

How many ghosts do you know with clanking chains? There was only Jacob Marley and he was fictional. A bit of poetic licence there from Dickens methinks.

Out of interest, how do they move then? If it doesn't work one way, how could it possibly work the other?

 

[Lethargic]

So how do poltergeists work then, aren't they ghosts as wel and with no mass how do they get things to move?

Well documented, actually.

For example, one of the earliest known ghost "sightings" in the west took place in Athens, Greece. Pliny the Younger (c. 63 - 113 AD) described it in a letter to Licinius Sura: Athenodoros Cananites (c. 74 BC – 7 AD), a Stoic philosopher, decided to rent a large, Athenian house, to investigate widespread rumors that it was haunted. Athenodoros staked out at the house that night, and, sure enough, a dishevelled, aged spectre, bound at feet and hands with rattling chains, eventually "appeared". (Stolen from Wikipedia)

I'm no expert, but I think it has something to do with sneezing.

Lokki,

Since you obviously know about these things,

How did the witches fly around on their broom sticks?

They used the same magic Father Christmas uses on his reindeer.
