The Witch
People said there was a witch in town and that her husband didn’t know it.
When the man was out of town you could see fire, and the neighbours told him his wife did something weird.
But when he came back there was no more fire.
One day he was spying on her and in fact there was fire.
So when he came back he asked her for some food, but she said her feet hurt. It was in that moment that he realised he didn't have feet anymore.
And that’s how we discovered evil exists.

[@jacobgates1986]

In new mexico, we have witches Native or Chicano, as well and I heard stories of a huge balls of fire, flying around from one town of abiquiu to el rito to ojo caliente and on to a mountain by shadow mountain. And it would always disappear once it reached it. Alot ppl have seen it and always heard different elders (Native American or Chicano) said a witch was looking for someone.
