This witch ball hangs in a window of our home. It was a gift to my wife from one of her friends. I'd never heard of a witch ball, but it's an interesting story and a commentary on how humans think. Witch balls are supposed to capture evil spirits before they can enter your home. The evil spirit gets tangled up in the strands of glass inside the ball and becomes trapped forever. At least this is what I've read.
The witch ball has got me interested in reading about the history of witchcraft and magic. Maybe a future video?
What looks like a small-meshed grid in the background of the photo is the exterior screen on the window.
