Brodel discusses witches on TV
Hans Broedel, a UND professor and a noted authority on witches and Halloween traditions, will be on the National Geographic Channel at 9 p.m. Sunday as part of the documentary, "The Witch Hunter's Bible."
The show is about "Malleus Maleficarum" -- Latin for "The Hammer of Witches" -- an extremely influential handbook written in 1487 that helped people recognize witches and told them what to do if they spotted one, Broedel said.
