Another Burnt Witch Uncovered in Spain!

Tweet

San Calocero in Albenga on the Ligurian Riviera is the location of yet another Medieval witch's burial, recently uncovered, this one apparently follows the discovery close by of a 13 yr old girl, similarly buried as a witch. This recent one was burnt and thrown carelessly into a pit, then covered with heavy stone slabs, to prevent her from rising again, which was common practice with witches, and often bricks would be placed on their mouths,nailed or staked to the ground, or even decapitated and dismembered, to ensure they were no further danger. Both appear to have been buried between the 9th and 14th century.. so it wasn't just Britain who went witch hunting it seems. source: livescience
