       Many instances of Witch hunts are fulled by old superstitions
       and the coercion of fear in large groups of people. When things
       seem desperate and the people need some form/ answer to the "why
       us" question, what is known as black magic and witches is
       usually the easy answer. According to the article, classes of
       understanding how some things are accruing in the community is a
       good step but unfortunately some things that are taught in the
       bible are counter productive. Cultural remedies passed down
       through generations are become signs of witchcraft inciting fear
       of the old ways and the elderly in some situations. In cases
       where a family member claims a relative to be a witch it is
       usually out of greed. History has many examples of family
       accusing family in order to get what they have. --> "Uncle John
       has a better house than us and his animals are healthy while
       ours are sick. He must be a witch! The whole family in fact".
       Once they are removed, legally, their relatives inherit their
       property.
