The world is under the impression that the scourge of witch hunts came to an end in the 18th century. Cory was among the seven women and one man hanged as witches on September 22, 1692 in America and Anna Göldi was an 18th-century Swiss woman who was the last person to be executed in Europe for witchcraft on June 13, 1782. However, in this day and age, the specter still darkens the cultural landscape of Africa, where witch hunts and - executions are still regularly conducted.
