    Heres something that might interest you. Was not 500 years ago was it?
    Ms Duncan, who lived in Niddrie at the time but travelled the country putting on seances for relatives, was convicted in 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act for "pretending to raise the spirits of the dead". She was sentenced to nine months in Holloway prison.

    i think the difference is, in the 1500-1700s more people believed in witches and anyone who was a bit different from the norm could have been accused of being a witch, but today i think most people don't believe in witches, but you'll find a few people who are who think they are a witch

    Don't you think that we have moved on, since then...???

    But even so, the woman was only preying on weak by bereavement people, to extort money.
    It happens everyday.
    But none of those scammers actually advocates to strip women call them witches and beat the living daylights out of them.

    the crime of being a witch was abolished by the 1735 Witchcraft Act.

    but more shocking, 400 people in England and 2,000 in Scotland were executed following accusations of witchcraft in the 16th and 17th centuries.

    you didn't want to be in Scotland in them days, i tread carefully as there are many scots on here

    are the scots more
