Malvary, I can also claim a weird family history - one of my ancestors was reputedly a witch. The UK arachnes may have heard about the Pendle witches in Lancashire; my ancestor was Alice Nutter who met an untimely end. I've read various versions - hanged in Lancaster, burnt at the stake but Dad insists that the true version is that she was about to be burned but had a heart attack and died before the fire was lit, but they burnt the body anyway. Dad quelled my fear of the dark when I was little by telling me that because we were decended from witches we were protected in the dark and nothing could harm us, and this 'belief' has also been passed on to my children and grandchildren. Joan from Yorkshire (but born and still roots in Lancashire)
