What kind of qustion is that?!!! Firt Witches are NOT real!! And two I am sure that if they aren't real, they can't float because they don't exisist. == The reality was that a witch would float because he or she was smart enough to know how not to drown. It was the exhibition of this sort of cleverness and common sense that caused the persecution of knowledgeble people. Wise people are more difficult to control and keep down, and the persecution of "witches" was all about keeping power in the hands of the few church members who controlled it.
