    Page 8 – RAY: “Great…a witch hunt!”
    A witch hunt in puritanical times was the search for witches amongst the populace.  In modern times, it has come to mean primarily the persecution of an enemy with little to no regard of actual guilt.

    Page 9 – WINSTON: “Let’s call a witch doctor!”
    A witch doctor is a healer who believes illness is caused by magic and can only be cured the same way.
FYI: “Winston’s Diary”
    The description of the big bad spook at the end of the story sounds fairly close to Samhaine, the spirit of Halloween who made his debut in the RGB episode “When Halloween Was Forever.”
