  1. Some of those tales do still survive and are believed, especially about the protections against different beasts, spirits, witches, etc. Witch's Bottles can still be found hanging from trees in certain nations, especially in the Caribbean, though it was an old English invention. The only difference between now and then is the type of bottle used. The handful of iron nails and one's urine is the same. Starting in 1681 in Suffolk with Joseph Glanvill’s Saducismus Triumphatus, or Evidence concerning Witches and Apparitions: "For an old Man that Travelled up and down the Country, and had some acquaintance at that house, calling in and asking the Man of the house how he did and his Wife; He told him that himself was well, but his Wife had been a long time in a languishing condition, and that she was haunted with a thing in the shape of a Bird that would flurr near to her face, and that she could not enjoy her natural rest well...[SIC]."
