The decoys are estimated to have been made between 400 B.C. and 100 A.D., and no others like it have ever been discovered. Untouched for more than 2,000 years, the Tule Duck Decoy is the oldest of any decoys ever discovered, and was named the official Nevada State Artifact in 1995.
I bet somebody just made windows like that and, when criticized for being too lazy or too cheap to make a house with regular windows, he made up the witch story as an excuse.
Or maybe as a wisecrack, as a comeback.
Children or gullible adults believe it, and spread it to nearby places and the next generation.
We has a house here in our small Arizona town with witch windows. They add light where there isn’t room for a vertical window, as the drawing above illustrates.
What is the point in installing tilted windows when all the rest are vertical? Any observant witch would just avoid the tilted and aim for the vertical.

In Vermont they’re called “lazy windows.” No idea where they got that “witch” nonsense.

I think any properly motivated witch can navigate any window she wants.

So, don’t the supposed witches simply not use the regular window?
