None whatsoever (unless you were a Mediaeval Inquisitor - then you would have thought they sacrificed babies, they had sexual intercourse with demons, they mocked the Christian symbols, they worshipped Satan, they harmed and killed people and their animals and so on...).
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.
The witches
Actually, the 3 witches do not commit any acts of violence, in Macbeth. The Witches tell Macbeth of 3 prophesies, which make an enormous impact on him. The Witches represent darkness, chaos, turmoil, temptation and conflict. They manipulate Macbeth, to the point of not being able to recognize evil and good, and they not only venture to seek trouble and havoc for Macbeth but for all mortals. They never tell Macbeth to kill King Duncan but they use a subtle form of manipulation by tempting Macbeth with visions and prophecies that he is destined to be King. By manipulating him in this manner, the Witches are indirectly responsible for leading him to his own doom. The trouble they seek and set out to cause, is not their primary activity but they relish in their quest for trouble, and delight in helping mortals meet their doom.

the township acts
The Pendle Witches or Lancashire Witches were the most famous witches in English legal history. In the year 1612, at Lancaster goal, in the English county of Lancashire, ten men and women were hanged for the crime of witchcraft. The Pendle Witches, as they became known, were believed to have been responsible for the murder by witchcraft of seventeen people in and around the Forest of Pendle.
Macbeth's relationship with the witches was one of manipulation and temptation. The witches planted seeds of ambition and power in Macbeth's mind, leading him to commit horrific acts in order to fulfill their prophecies. They acted as catalysts for Macbeth's downfall by exploiting his weaknesses and desires.
well obviously they r so terrible because they r believd to have mystical powers and some witchs dont use this mystical power for good. so also my advice is dont get in hissy with a witch

Strange or unnatural events
Witches were to be believed evil in the old days. They would usually burn a witch to the stake or just hang them.The accused "witches" were treated terrible. The people of Salem thought that if someone was a witch, the witch would do horrible things. The people also thought that they should get rid of the witches, so they would drown people who they thought was a witch and if you were you would be able to undrown yourself with your powers and it you weren't you were just led there to drown!
