Unmarried, unfucked women weren't a thing

Christians in the Ottoman empire literally were Orthodox.
It's that witch trials was mostly a Protestant thing. To Catholics and Orthodox Christians, believing in magic or witchcraft at all would be heresy.

I feel I should point out there are practices and people in the Orthodox and Catholic Church which an anthropologist would certainly compare to occult practices in other religions.

The only real difference is while an occultist might attribute his practice to a system of cause and effect, or the power of a non-Christian deity, the Catholic/Orthodox attribute it to the Holy Spirit

There were no trials in the Ottoman Empire.

I could only find a story about a jannisary which turned into vampire and terrorized some villagers till some ottoman judge beheaded the corpse and another where suleiman appearantly went werewolf hubting with his guard in the sewers of Istanbul.
There was nothing about witches so I was wondering if the same craze also happened atleast in the balkans.

some years ago i vaguely remember reading about some guy in romania whose parent died and he felt constanly sick and thought he was haunted by the parent who turned into a vampire
he felt better when he unburied the corpse, put a stake through its heart and buried it again

during the plague in italy some were accused of being "untori" or oilers, people who spread the black plague by oiling doors and locks, poisoning fountains or something similar

Interestingly, the second law introduced by the revolutionary Serbian government in 1807 (the first one was a law that created the government) was a law forbidding witch hunts.
I've never found anything else on witch hunts, and the book itself stated that there were no records or traditions of witch hunts, and that the only indicator of their existence is one article in that law.
However, vampire traditions were widespread. Piercing the Jugular and the Carotid, staking, and beheading of the dead were common.
Tho, vampires and vampire like creatures are present in many cultures the term is from the Serbian language, and was first used by the Austrian newspapers reporting on vampiric activity and the killing of vampires in the early 1700s, the most famous case being in 1725.
How the Serbian vampire differs from the modern version is the power to transform into moths and butterflies, and they usually stalked water mills.

“I never once considered calling him [Manson] Jesus Christ until the police came asking: “Where’s Jesus Christ? We want to crucify him.” They started that.”

>Manson believed in what he called "Helter Skelter", a term he took from the Beatles' song of the same name. Manson believed Helter Skelter to be an impending apocalyptic race war, which he described in his own version of the lyrics to the Beatles' song. He believed the murders would help precipitate that war. From the beginning of his notoriety, a pop culture arose around him in which he ultimately became an emblem of insanity, violence and the macabre.
