Here's the reality:
* No real evidence: There is no historical or factual basis to support the idea that Kansas is a hotbed of witches.
* Fictional portrayal: The Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz" was a fictional character, and her portrayal is not representative of the real state of Kansas or its people.
* Misunderstanding: The story of Dorothy's journey from Kansas to Oz has become a cultural touchstone, leading some to believe that the state has a strong connection to witchcraft.
While the "Witch of Oz" might make for a good story, it's important to remember that Kansas is a real place with real people, just like any other state.
