The Pendle witch trials also have associated ghost stories. The Pendle witches were a group of women accused of witchcraft in England. There are stories of strange lights and unearthly moans near the place of their trial and execution. Some believe these are the restless spirits of the witches, still lingering in the area due to the harsh treatment they received.
The story of the Scarlet Witch manga can be seen in the following examples:
In Marvel Comics, the witch Emily Wenderlich was a woman with superpowers. She used to be an ordinary witch, but in an accident, she gained the ability to control magic.
As time passed, Emily West began to use her powers to fight against evil forces, including the Dark Magician Sorren and the Dark Wizard Bane. She worked with other superheroes such as Iron Man Tony Stark, Captain America Steve Roger, and Spiderman Peter Parker to fight various threats.
During a battle with Soran, Emily West discovered that she was not the only witch. There were others with similar superpowers. She decided to explore these superpowers and learn how to use them for justice.
In addition, Emily West also established a complicated relationship with other characters in the comic, such as Gale Gardner, the ally of Iron Man Tony Stark and Wonder Woman. These relationships and storylines continued to develop throughout the manga.
There's a tale of a witch who was cursed by another witch. When she died, her ghost became vengeful. Her story takes place in a small Scottish town. The vengeful witch ghost would cause livestock to die, make crops fail, and terrify the villagers at night. She was described as having a hideous face and a shrill scream. It was a long - lasting nightmare for the town until a priest finally managed to 'banish' her spirit, though some still claim to see her on moonless nights.
They often become part of local folklore. For example, in Salem, the witch trial ghost stories attract tourists. This has led to the growth of a 'haunted' tourism industry, with local businesses cashing in on the spooky stories. It also gives the area a unique identity.
