1. Which character in Nursery Rhymes is thought of to be a witch?

Answer: Mother Goose

Did you know that the name "Mother Goose" started around the 1600s? The famous witch hunts occurred at this time as well.
This nursery rhyme is considered to have a dark meaning about Mother Goose, that she flies on a broom (the goose), was old like witches were supposed to be, lived alone in her house in the woods like witches do, and had an owl as her guard like witches were known to do.

'Old Mother Goose
When she wanted to wander
Would fly through the air
On a very fine gander.

Mother Goose had a house;
It stood in the wood
Where an owl at the door
As sentinel stood.'

She then would be able to attack victims when they lay sleeping in their beds. She would be able to inflict temporary paralysis making it impossible for the victim to scream or move.
