Manx National Heritage asks for genuine reports
Hop-tu-Naa witches hit the streets tonight - but would you dare to look for real witches' marks on Manx buildings, in old barns, or churches?
Manx National Heritage says if hunters track down any genuine Apotropaic marks - symbols common to the British Isles - on the Isle of Man, it would welcome reports of them.
Manx signs made by the 'witches' of old typically take the shape of a hexofoil - which looks like a six-petal flower.
They date back to around the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, when beliefs in witchcraft were commonplace.
