While witches are portrayed as a ficticious symbol of evil, real witch hunts took place in Salem, Mass., in the late 1600’s. Women accused of practicing witchcraft were hunted and imprisoned, or even worse, killed. This is part of what led to the evil stigma surrounding the witch, which can be seen floating around neighborhoods in abundance on Halloween collecting candy, as it is a very popular and very easily-created costume.</EM></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dotellall.com/article/halloween-characters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dotellall.com/img/35EA105E-2035-477D-B1AA-0AE90AD1CF4F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dotellall.com/article/halloween-characters.html"><H2><STRONG>Jack-O-Lantern:</STRONG></H2></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dotellall.com/article/halloween-characters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dotellall.com/img/7B1CE41B-BBBC-447D-80B6-3DA86031EEEE" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dotellall.com/article/halloween-characters.html"><H2><STRONG>Vampires:</STRONG></H2></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dotellall.com/article/halloween-characters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dotellall.com/img/19AE8B45-973C-4341-9BAF-5CBC2DF8A989" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dotellall.com/article/halloween-characters.html"><H2><STRONG><BR />Werewolves:</STRONG></H2></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dotellall.com/article/halloween-characters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dotellall.com/img/D1F8247F-1ADF-4D7C-B3C2-EADFEE474A91" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/39422343-9BAE-44CF-BD53-D01FEFFB8639/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
