I know it is all mythical, but I was wondering why witches allegedly cannot cross running water. Is there any reason why this is? Is there some mention of the consequences of a witch crossing water in any myths/stories? Is there some sort of magical reason why they can't cross running water? (I know it is all fictional, but none-the-less I'd like serious answers, a friend of mine wishes to know to entertain children at halloween, but although she knows that witches aren't supposed to be able to cross running water, she does not know if there is any myths which explain why (I know it is mentioned in "Tam O'Shanter", but I'm not sure if it is explained.))
