Yes, when they wear life preservers.
Grandma in "The Witches" by Roald Dahl is from Norway.
No. None of the victims of Salem were witches, so none would float. And the floating test was not used in Salem.
No ^^
Witches in popular culture are often depicted as being able to float on broomsticks, but in reality, they would most likely sink if they entered the water due to human body density.
No. Witches are not real, thus a story about them (evil or not) cannot be true.
Witches.
True Kings of Norway was created in 2000.
Unlike everything else in the recent history of the world, England was not even the initial base. The Witches started off in wonderful Norway (the cold probably drove them to such madness!) And, thus, in Norway witches are common knowledge. From there the witches advanced to other countries and there are branches in every other country (with the US and UK seen as big hopes). Norway was the HQ, but the witches killings branched off everywhere else. So, Luke probably saved a global cannibalisation of children.
In the medieval times, "witches" were sometimes thrown into ponds or other bodies of water to see if they float, following the common belief that witches floated. It they didn't float, they were declared not a witch, but sometimes the result was that the person had drowned anyway. If someone was declared a witch, then she was therefore not Christian and should be burned.
There were multiple people said to be witches. They were never proven true or false. There were told to be about 10 witches in a town per year.
In "The Witches" by Roald Dahl, the narrator faints after witnessing a shocking scene at the witches' convention where he learns their true intentions to eliminate children. The fear and horror of seeing the witches' true forms and hearing their plans overwhelm him, leading to his fainting. His fainting serves as a dramatic moment that underscores the danger and evil nature of the witches.
I think that Macbeth was at first not as "worried" about the witches and their curses as then on in the play he finds out that every thing that the witches has been tellin him are true.
