Does your neighborhood have a witch?

I think every neighborhood has one weird family whom the neighborhood children call a witch. It's sad to think that neighbors do that to one another. When I was a child, there was a house that was overgrown with pine trees. We used to ring the doorbell and runaway in fear the witch would catch us.

One day, she opened the door with cookies on a plate. She invited us in for milk and cookies. The worst thing was we no longer had a witch in our neighborhood.

Thanks for posting to Point Taken. Happy Halloween!

We never called anyone a witch, but there was a odd older couple that lived just up the street from me. They were really nice, just not in the best health and therefore not out a lot where the neighborhood kids could see them. I ended up watching their dog several times while they were out of town and they were really kind people.

Not as a child, or where I live now, but there were a couple of teens into wicca near where I lived back in the late 80's.

My neighborhood is too new to have a witch, but when I was growing up, oh, yes, there was a witch on the street. No doubt about it.
No witches but plenty of crazy neighbor women in the trailer-hood. Lol! Seriously thou there are several women living in my trailer court I think are really crazy. Like coo coo in the head crazy.

We had one that walked the streets in weird clothing in the town I grew up in. Didn't call her a witch but she was laughed at. Not to her face but to each other.

Yes I am sure we have real ones,

our neighborhood is small so I don't know which one of us they consider to be the witch LOL

No witches in our neighborhood. Our youngest son belongs to Wicca though.

That reminds me of one time while in the doctor's office, a little boy came up to my mom and asked her if she was a witch. She wasn't feeling well and had been waiting a long time, so she was just staring off into space. LOL

We lived on a farm out in the middle of nowhere Indiana, there was an old farmhand named Grover Miller who was just downright strange. In the summer he wore a red dress and if you drove by his house (safely on the road) he would shoot at you! We thought he was crazy, not necessarily a witch though!

Alas, no, we didn't have a witch. We had a nasty neighbor who yelled at everyone for every little thing, but we had *ahem* OTHER words for him.... :-)
