The witch is feeling an itch. It seems she can't quite scratch it away. This itch is not like the normal ones that come and go. It is a persistent itch, one that lingers on her skin like a creepy crawly sensation. She has tried all the usual remedies - scratching, rubbing, even using special potions and spells. But nothing seems to work.
Perhaps one of the most well-known cases of mass hysteria and paranormal happening in recorded history are the Salem Witch Trials. Spanning over a year, from 1692-1693, over two-hundred men, women, and children were accused of witchcraft (defined here as using the powers of the Devil) in the town of Salem, Massachusetts. At the end of the events, forty-four people confessed to being witches, nineteen were hanged, five died during their imprisonment, one individual was pressed to death, and two dogs were shot.
Many explanations were given for their condition, from the HPV vaccine, to a chemical spill on the grounds of the school, to, even, demonic interference. More information on delusional infestation may be obtained from professionals working in county health services offices; from county agricultural commissioners; or from the Bohart Museum of Entomology, University of California, Davis website.
But nothing seems to work. The itch still remains, tormenting her day and night. It isn't just a physical itch; it is a mental itch as well.

She can't seem to think about anything else. The itch consumes her thoughts, distracting her from her daily tasks. She becomes frustrated and agitated, unable to find any relief. The witch decides to seek help. She visits other witches and wizards, hoping that someone has a solution to her problem. But even the most experienced and knowledgeable witches are perplexed by her condition. They try different spells and remedies, but none of them ease her itch. As time goes on, the itch becomes unbearable. It is as if her entire being is itching, not just her skin. She longs for the day when she can be free from this torment. Finally, the witch realizes that the only way to find relief is to look within herself. She begins to meditate and reflect on her thoughts and emotions. Slowly, she starts to understand the root cause of her itch - it is her own discontent. She has spent so much time focusing on her physical discomfort that she neglected to address her inner desires and aspirations. The itch was a manifestation of her longing for something more fulfilling. With this newfound insight, the witch takes action. She makes changes in her life, pursuing her passions and finding joy in her work. As she aligns her actions with her innermost desires, the itch slowly begins to fade away. In the end, the witch realizes that the itch was a gift in disguise. It served as a wake-up call, forcing her to examine her life and make necessary changes. Without the itch, she may have continued to live in discontent, never truly satisfied. So, the next time you feel an itch, physical or otherwise, remember to look beyond the surface. It may be a sign that something deeper needs your attention. Don't ignore it, embrace it, and use it as an opportunity for self-discovery and growth..
