I ÃÂ ÃÂWhat I KnowÃÂWhen I started this project on Medieval/Elizabethan witches and supernatural I knew: some religions believed that the supernatural lived in the woods. The English also thought that spirits liked to play tricks on people at night. Shakespeare wrote many plays about them which made them more known and talked about. Witches were always executed, no matter how important you were. Witches wore raggedy clothing and were very ugly with moles, yellow teeth, long unclean finger nails, and had many warts. Being accused of a witch was taken very seriously.
II- ÃÂWhat I Want to Find OutÃÂI want to know as much as possible. What got people to believe in witches? Who conducted witch hunts? If they had ever any paranormal experiences what were they?
