I'm descended from or closely related to over 60 people associated with the hysteria including 3 great-grandmothers, 2 great-gravdaunts and an aunt and uncle by marriage who were executed.

MacBeth starring my Scottish ancestor King Duncan, descendant of the great St. Columba of Iona, who allegedly had fantastic witchlike talents.

Soothsaying? The nature of our holographic world, including books (St. Columba's favored crystal ball). Psychokinesis? Possibly achieved through hyper-awareness, based on the quantum wavefunction.
