A dungeon is certainly a lot more 'atmospheric' for the movies than a guard tower and something with a more oppressive dark and dank feel to it.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-28290586151480753412020-01-12T06:33:49.468-06:002020-01-12T06:33:49.468-06:00Ilona: Glad you enjoyed it.

Fascinating stuff. Burning at the stake was prevalent in France. By the time the witch trial frenzy reached across the Atlantic to the colonies, witches were hanged rather than burned. At the Salem witch trials, of 20 convicted witches, 19 were hanged and 1 was crushed under stones (he's the one who put the curse on the sheriffs of Salem).<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.
