The woman, from Texas in America, told : "I believe whatever comes in our TV screens, there are things attached to that."

The Central Texas TV station explained how a social media post by Jamie went viral.
Referring to the movie, which sees three 17th-century witches accidentally brought back to modern-day Salem, she said: “Do not watch this film.
";Everybody thinks it’s fake and innocent, but they could be casting any type of spell that they want to, anything could be coming through that TV screen into your home.”
The mum said she hasn't taken part in Halloween - which falls at the end of this month - for four or five years.
