Mexican Witch Hunt

Posted 5/04/2008 6:30 pm by Stephanie Sturgis

A newspaper in London has revived the flurry of interest surrounding the video of a “witch” flying off a Mexican cliff and soaring over the local terrain around Monterey, Mexico.

Witch hat

Is it a balloon?

Is it a witch?

Is it a UFO?

If’ it’s a witch, could it be Endora or the Wicked Witch of the West or maybe even Glenda the Good Witch?

I’m not sure, but it does make for an interesting bit of footage.

The video includes some crazy footage of local police officers who have had run-ins with the flying pointy-hatted one.

Go see for yourself.

    Don’t Hide From Cops At A Police Station

    Posted 2/08/2010 8:30 am by Ron Hogan

    One of the most important rules of any criminal is learning how to hide in plain sight.  That is, you blend into the crowd, into the environment, be just another person wandering around in the aisles of the store before you make your shoplift.  That’s how you get away with that sort of thing.  It […]

    Saints March To A Super Bowl Victory

    Posted 2/08/2010 6:00 am by Ron Hogan

    It wasn’t exactly a classic Super Bowl, but it was the latest in a string of very good Super Bowls.  In the end, it was two surprise plays that won the game moreso than anything Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees did:  Peyton Manning’s win-sealing interception and an onside kick to start the second half.  Those […]
