As Halloween approaches, the newspapers and news sites are coming out with various stories of witches, magic and the occult. They range from retellings of historic witch trials to various PR stunts. Mind you, I'm not going to knock all the witchy PR stunts, having been involved in one myself recently. I'll be posting something about that as soon as the company involved passes the press release.
Here are some of the Halloween stories:
