Legend of the Witch Ball
Dating back to the 18th Century, hollow
glass balls have been hung to ward of witch's spells and evil spirits.
Legend has it that the evil spirit is attracted to these colorful balls, pulled
inside,
and trapped within the glass web protecting the home from harm.
It is told on Cape Cod, MA that fishermen have used these mesmerizing balls
in their nets to ward off evil spirits on the high seas. |
