Adult beverages responsible for the best witch gathering in Freeport, Maine

When Christina Rice from Freeport showed them a video of a German witch dance, they decided to up their game. Several adult beverages may have also helped give them courage. The next year, 2020, they decided they could do that! This is an example of the German Witch Dance.

They all got together and practiced the dance! It started with about 8 witches. They decided to flash mob Freeport Village Shoppes on Halloween night when all the kids were trick or treating up and down Main Street.

As you can see, they've added some witches from the original 8. They have about 20 witches now and typically do three dances. They gather and dance and walk around Freeport heading out candy! They even have a following. Maybe you'd like to follow them!
