Hares in folklore are sometimes considered unlucky, as they are often associated with witches.

It is especially unlucky to kill a hare before dawn. A witch could take revenge on the hunter for destroying their animal body. #BookologyThursday

The castle of Düsseldorf is said to be haunted by a white lady. According to legend, a duchess named Jakobine & her lover were murdered by her jealous husband. Her ghost was alleged to be seen before a series of fires which plagued the castle.

According to a Flemish folktale, there was a woman who claimed she was afraid of nothing. One night, she went to a graveyard for she preferred to collect bones rather than pick flowers. As she reached for them, a voice suddenly spoke 'Don't touch me. Those are my bones.'

According to a Flemish folktale, people went on pilgrimages and visited monks to make a witch give up her powers. Their attempts were fruitless. She remained a witch and cursed the houses of those who had wanted to change her.

In Flanders, people stayed away from a forest because a witch lived there in a hut made of blackberry bushes.

She vanished, and so did her hut, and eventually the forest.

If you would like know what became of her, there's something on Kickstarter we would love you to know about ✨ kck.st/492NqKt

According to a Flemish folktale, a man was walking his two dogs at night when all of a sudden he saw a cat. He threw a stick at the cat because he suspected the animal was a witch. Five minutes later, he found himself surrounded by hundreds of cats who threw mud at him.
