It is safe to say broom witches are real
Broom witches are popular in most cultures and the first witch to confess to riding a broom or besom was a man named Guillaume Edelin. Before his arrest, there was the fact that witches were always riding brooms. This Redditor remembered seeing a person flying in the sky at 1000 feet.
He could see clearly as it was not dark, and the broomstick and flying cape all pointed to a broom witch. The association between witches and brooms may have been rooted in a pagan fertility ritual, in which rural farmers would leap and dance with brooms in the light of the full moon to encourage the growth of their crops.
