Would like to point out the myth with witches and old ladies could come from the myth of Hags. Hags are usually depicted as old evil women, sometimes considered that of fairy folk or djinn. The term comes from the old English word meaning which and first appears in the area of Northern Europe, such as Germany. Many groups in that area depicted monsterous beings as old elder ladies. A good example would be Baba Yaga, whose is a witch like character that eats children, but there are others. One of the variations of many werewolf myths depicted an evil old lady with long nails full of poison, or evil old ladies possessed by wolf spirits....... Actually a lot of old ladies that do something in general. These groups helped create the image of what we a lot of times consider to be evil in a way.
