A witch ball is a hollow sphere of glass. Historically, witch balls were hung in cottage windows in 17th and 18th century England to ward off evil spirits, witches, evil spells, ill fortune and bad spirits. The witch ball holds great superstition with regard to warding off evil spirits in the English counties of East Sussex and West Sussex.
