"If there is a gateway to hell, a portal from the underworld used by demons and witches to wreak their evil havoc on humanity, then it could be in a small east Midlands cave handy for both the M1 and A60."
"Heritage experts have revealed what is thought to be the biggest concentration of apotropaic marks, or symbols to ward off evil or misfortune, ever found in the UK."

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The ancients HAD to invent something to instill fear! And MANKIND still finds ways to instill fear, no matter what religion, lack of religion- there is some group trying to find some way to instill that basic, magical inspired fear of powerful beings, people,or fantastic creatures. Of course the mind plays tricks and we see many many things that are actually put in our minds by talented perpetrators! Eh??

Why are the witches always depicted as nasty crones? most of the witches that I have known were pretty hot.

Jnei:
Witches want to look like nasty crones, as all Terry Pratchett fans know: Discworld's most powerful witch Granny Weatherwax, for example, wishes to look like everyone's idea of a witch with missing teeth and facial warts, but is a handsome woman with a commanding presence.
Cool. I'll put it on my list of places to go. Go to hell!
