Windfarm threat to night-flying witches
As more windfarms are spread across our landscape the threat that they pose to night flying witches is becoming apparent. Often situated on bleak moorlands they lie directly across many traditional routes favoured by witches.
Nearly all turbines have three blades and typically rotate at 17 rotations per minute, giving a gap of approximately 1.2 seconds between the blades. A standard witch’s broom 2.5 metres in length would require to be travelling at a speed of at least 30km per hour (18.5 mph) to have any chance of escaping unscathed.
Grandmother of 23 and mother of 8, Miss Morrigan Malachite said, “I was flying over the moor under an empty moon on a route I haven’t used for a couple of years when out of nowhere, Wham! I was clobbered by this ruddy great thing whistling round and round. No sooner had I recovered that I was hit by another one. Poor old TalaMaleki, my familiar, lost two of his nine lives in one night!â€
