The Trapped Domain

Would you believe me if I told you that there are a such thing as crimes committed against people in which there was use of witchcraft, black magic, Satanic Rituals, etc? No? I did not think you would. However some crimes against humanity are crimes that are the result of "darkside" of life.

Exploring the darkside of the unknown is my goal. To bring about awareness that most people lack knowledge about. I plan to show a correlation between witchcraft, voodoo etc, and crimes committed against individuals, even children.

The motivations for executions suspected witches were complex, according to people. Who have studied witchcraft.

"One of the hardest things for people in the 21st century to understand, "Dr. Woodward said," is why seemingly rational people could be so afraid of witches that they could kill people."

Witches were thought to have superhuman powers to harm other people as their into a compact with the devil. Additionally, Ms. Karlsen wrote internal dissension or disputes between neighbors could provoke accusations of witchcraft, in some instances, accused witches would fight back, swing for defamation.
