There have been many strange and mysterious sightings throughout history, but one that stands out as particularly bizarre is the sighting of a 12-foot floating witch. The incident occurred in a small village in England during the late 17th century. The village had been plagued by strange happenings for some time, with reports of bizarre creatures and unexplained phenomena becoming increasingly common. However, nothing could have prepared the villagers for what they were about to witness. Late one night, as the moon hung low in the sky and the wind howled through the trees, a group of villagers gathered at the edge of a nearby pond. They had heard rumors of a witch haunting the area, and they were determined to see if the tales held any truth.
The witch really gives the appearance of flying, and I must note it is monumental by the standards of outdoor Halloween decorations. Such a dramatic piece would not be possible for most New York City homes, but some of the Carroll Gardens brownstones on the neighborhood’s numbered streets (closer to Red Hook than Cobble Hill for those familiar with the geography of the area) are fortunate to have large front yards. I was so impressed by the flying witch and its orientation that I captured it from two additional angles.
However, there have been cases where I published a Halloween photo article after the fact due to my having forgotten the photo s existence before October 31. Much like I did the other day for a friendly inflatable ghost outside of a daycare in Cobble Hill I would estimate about 10-15 minute walk from the witch , I ran a reverse image search on my photo to find its source.
They had heard rumors of a witch haunting the area, and they were determined to see if the tales held any truth. As they stood there, shivering in the cold, a figure began to appear on the surface of the water. It started as a faint glow, but as the figure grew closer, it became clear that it was a 12-foot tall witch, floating above the pond.
Flying 12-Foot Witch in Carroll Gardens
I have made it a New Leaf Journal tradition to publish photos of tasteful and amusing Halloween decorations seen around Brooklyn in the days approaching the occasion. However, there have been cases where I published a Halloween photo article after the fact due to my having forgotten the photo’s existence before October 31. Today, I present to you a new case – my discovering a local Halloween decoration in the first instance after Halloween. On November 1, 2022, I came across a very dramatic 12-foot flying witch outside of a home in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

It appears that the 12-foot witch is (or was) available on Walmart’s website, which is how I discovered that it is 12-feet without trespassing.
This concludes my Halloween photo reporting for 2022 – save for maybe some potentially unfortunate pumpkins or dual–purpose Halloween-Thanksgiving decorations in the coming weeks and months. I cannot think of a better way to end this year’s photo collection than with a dramatic 12-foot flying witch (much better than all of the haphazardly-placed skeletons lying around for sure), although the winner of this Halloween season is still the flexible hose snake I stumbled upon the other day.
Until Halloween 2023…

On November 1, 2022, I came across a very dramatic 12-foot flying witch outside of a home in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
She had long, gnarled hair that flowed around her like a dark cloud, and her eyes burned with an otherworldly fire. The villagers were frozen with fear as the witch floated towards them, her cackling laughter filling the air. Some tried to run, but it seemed that the witch had control over their movements, keeping them rooted in place. It was a terrifying sight, and many believed that they were witnessing the work of dark magic. Suddenly, a brave villager stepped forward and confronted the witch. He held up a cross and began reciting prayers, praying for the evil spirit to be banished. As he did, the witch let out a blood-curdling scream and disappeared in a burst of flames. The villagers were left stunned and amazed by what they had witnessed. Some believed that the witch was a demon sent to torment them, while others saw it as a warning from the supernatural world. Regardless of the interpretation, the sighting of the 12-foot floating witch remains one of the most perplexing and unexplained events in history. To this day, the story of the 12-foot floating witch is passed down through generations in the village. It serves as a reminder of the power of the unknown and the enduring nature of folklore and legend. Whether the witch was a figment of imagination, a product of hysteria, or a genuine supernatural entity, it remains a haunting and unforgettable tale..

1. John - 2/5 stars - The concept of a 12 feet floating witch sounded intriguing, but the execution fell flat for me. The storyline was confusing and lacked depth. Additionally, the special effects looked cheap and took away from the overall experience. I was disappointed with this film and would not recommend it.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - "12 Feet Floating Witch" was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting was terrible, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The plot was incredibly predictable and offered no surprises. The floating witch was more laughable than scary, and the jump scares were cheap and ineffective. Save your time and skip this one.
3. Michael - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "12 Feet Floating Witch," but sadly, it did not live up to my expectations. The pacing was slow, and the story dragged on unnecessarily. The characters were underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it difficult to care about their fates.

4. Emily - 2/5 stars - I found "12 Feet Floating Witch" to be lackluster and uninspiring. The plot felt disjointed and lacked cohesion, leaving me confused and disengaged.
