Witches' markings: Public urged to check their house for strange symbols carved into the walls
People might have strange "witch markings" carved into the walls of their house and not even know it.
The public are being asked to look for the unusual symbols in their houses as part of a Halloween effort launched by the government.
The markings have previous been found in historic buildings including the house where Shakespeare was born and the Tower of London. They're thought to have been used as a protection symbol, keeping the people inside the house safe from witches and other threats, and tend to be come from a time when belief in the supernatural was widespread.

But a full record of where the symbols appear has never been taken, and so it isn't clear how common they are or where they tend to appear. As such, Historic England has asked the public to look out the for the symbols, and submit any information or pictures that they find so that they can be better understood.
The symbols are known as apotropaic marks and tend to be carved into stone or woodwork near entrances like doorways, windows and fireplaces. IT's thought that they would then ward off witches and evil spirits from entering, keeping the people inside safe.

Markings ranged from a "daisy wheel", the most common type of mark which looks like a flower drawn with a compass, in a single endless line that was supposed to confuse and entrap evil spirits, to "Solomon's knots" and pentangles.
Often they take the form of letters such as AM for Ave Maria, M for Mary or VV, for Virgin of Virgins, scratched into medieval walls, engraved on wooden beams and etched into plaster work to evoke the protective power of the Virgin Mary.
The marks can be found in medieval houses, churches and other buildings, most commonly from around 1550 to 1750.
Known examples include several found at Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, where they are carved near the cellar door where precious beer would have been stored, to the Tithe Barn, Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, to protect crops.
Some have been found in caves, such as the Witches ' Chimney at Wookey Hole, Somerset, which has numerous markings.
Chester Zoo animals celebrate Halloween with a pumpkin partyDuncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: " Witches ' marks are a physical reminder of how our ancestors saw the world. They really fire the imagination and can teach us about previously-held beliefs and common rituals.
"Ritual marks were cut, scratched or carved into our ancestors' homes and churches in the hope of making the world a safer, less hostile place.
"They were such a common part of everyday life that they were unremarkable and because they are easy to overlook, the recorded evidence we hold about where they appear and what form they take is thin.
"We now need the public's help to create a fuller record of them and better understand them."

Reviews for "Spice Up Your Summer Wardrobe with Adidas Adilette 22 Slides in Magic Lime Desert Sand"
1. Emma - 2 stars:
I was really disappointed with the Adidas adilette 22 slides. Firstly, the color was not as vibrant as it appeared in the pictures. The "magic lime" turned out to be a dull shade of green, which was quite underwhelming. Secondly, the slide itself was not comfortable to wear. The material felt stiff and rough against my feet, making it unpleasant to walk in. Overall, I expected more from Adidas and this particular design did not meet my expectations.
2. John - 1 star:
I regret purchasing the Adidas adilette 22 slides. The desert sand color looked more like a dirty shade of beige, and it was not visually appealing at all. Additionally, the fit was very narrow and tight, making it uncomfortable to wear, especially if you have slightly wider feet. Lastly, the slides felt cheaply made and lacked the quality I usually associate with Adidas products. I would not recommend these slides to anyone looking for comfort and style.
3. Sarah - 2 stars:
The Adidas adilette 22 slides in the magic lime desert sand color were a disappointment for me. The material used felt flimsy and did not provide enough support for my feet. Moreover, the flat sole did not have enough cushioning, making it uncomfortable to walk in for extended periods. The lime color was also not as vibrant as I had hoped, giving off a dull and lackluster appearance. I would advise looking at other Adidas slide options before settling for this one.
4. David - 2 stars:
I found the Adidas adilette 22 slides to be a letdown. The magic lime desert sand colorway did not match the images shown online, appearing more pale and washed out. The material used felt thin and low-quality, and I doubt it would have longevity. On top of that, the fit was a bit too tight, and the straps felt rough against my skin. Overall, I cannot recommend these slides as they did not live up to the Adidas brand's reputation for me.
