On a spooky night, a horrifying sight was witnessed by the residents of a small town. A witch was spotted hovering 12 feet above the ground near a Home Depot store. This unexpected and eerie occurrence sent chills down the spines of those who were lucky enough to witness it. The sight of a witch hovering in the air is something straight out of a Halloween movie. It is a scene that belongs to the realm of fantasy, yet it became a chilling reality for the people in that town. The combination of the witch's ominous presence and the location of the sighting near a Home Depot store added an element of bizarre mystery to the incident.
The 1971 cars were all-new, with sedans and limousines riding on a 151.5-inch wheelbase and commercial chassis on a 157.5-inch wheelbase. The engine was Cadillac’s relatively light, very modern, efficient and powerful 472 cubic inch V-8 backed by the Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. Virtually all luxuries were standard, and the sedan was priced at a relatively reasonable $11,869, with the limousine listed at $12,008. In contrast, the 1970 Imperial limousine had been listed at $16,500.
New regulations were soon coming into play that would remove these chassis from the basis of ambulances, leaving only hearses to carry on the tradition of coachbuilt Cadillacs. That was quite a step down from when Italian coachbuilder Ghia had supplied Imperial limousines up until 1965, but it was much more affordable for buyers.
The combination of the witch's ominous presence and the location of the sighting near a Home Depot store added an element of bizarre mystery to the incident. The height at which the witch was hovering, 12 feet, made the sight even more unsettling. This unusual elevation is not something commonly associated with witches, as they are usually seen on the ground or flying at a much greater height.

History of the 1971-1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 75
If an American buyer desired a US-built limousine or large sedan (limousine without divider) in this era, the Fleetwood 75 was the only choice. Chrysler’s Imperial had given up the game after 1970 when it sold six limousines, all of which were factory authorized conversions by coachbuilder Stageway. That was quite a step down from when Italian coachbuilder Ghia had supplied Imperial limousines up until 1965, but it was much more affordable for buyers. The 1965 car had been priced at $18,500 and the Stageway car was priced at $15,000 at its 1967 introduction.
Cadillac’s limousine-sized car sales, meanwhile, generally ran about 2,000 units per year, but the recession-wracked US market only saw about 1,600 units for 1971, plus a bit over 2,000 related commercial chassis. The commercial chassis were generally used by coachbuilders such as S&S, Miller-Meteor and Superior for construction of hearses and ambulances.

Virtually all luxuries were standard, and the sedan was priced at a relatively reasonable $11,869, with the limousine listed at $12,008. In contrast, the 1970 Imperial limousine had been listed at $16,500.
1972 saw sales increase to the usual 2,000 units per year plus about 2,500 commercial chassis. Few changes were evident, or needed. 1973 saw a slight increase of about 100 sedans and limousines, but a reduction in sales of 300 commercials. New regulations were soon coming into play that would remove these chassis from the basis of ambulances, leaving only hearses to carry on the tradition of coachbuilt Cadillacs.
1975 found the Cadillac-built 500 cubic inch V-8 under the hood, and a catalytic converter to clean up emissions under the floor. This was the year after the regulations killed off the coachbuilt ambulance business, so commercial chassis sales shriveled down to just over 1,300 units for the year. 1976 was a good year, with about 1,900 sedans and limousines and just over 1,500 commercial chassis, a slight uptick for both categories. Of course, this was the last year of the very large and conventional Cadillacs, with all cars (including the Fleetwood 75) being down-sized from 1977 on.
Needless to say, the wealthiest people generally purchased these cars new, while some of the sedans were purchased as mourner’s cars for funeral parlors to complement their new Cadillac hearses (known as a “coach” in the business). Today, the limousine is generally valued at some 50 percent more than the sedan.

The fact that the witch was hovering at such a specific and relatively low altitude raised questions about her intentions and abilities. The presence of a Home Depot store in the vicinity of this supernatural event added an intriguing layer to the story. Home Depot is a familiar place for people to purchase home improvement products and supplies. It is a symbol of everyday living and a place where one would not expect to encounter a witch. This juxtaposition of the ordinary and the extraordinary intensified the mystery surrounding the sighting. The main idea behind this peculiar incident is the unexpected and spine-chilling sighting of a witch hovering 12 feet above the ground near a Home Depot store. The combination of a supernatural being, a specific altitude, and an everyday location creates an eerie and perplexing scenario that intrigues and fascinates those who hear the tale..
Reviews for "Create a Spine-Chilling Display with a 12-Foot Hovering Witch from Home Depot"
1. John - 1/5 stars - I recently purchased the "12 feet hovering witch" from Home Depot and I am extremely disappointed with the product. First of all, it did not hover as advertised. Instead, it just lay on the ground like any regular Halloween decoration. Secondly, the quality was subpar. The witch's face was poorly painted and some of the fabric was already torn when I took it out of the box. Overall, this was a waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Emily - 2/5 stars - The "12 feet hovering witch" from Home Depot was a letdown for me. While it did hover to some extent, it was extremely difficult to set up and keep it in the air. Furthermore, the materials used were not durable and the witch would frequently get tangled in its own wires. The overall design and appearance were also underwhelming, making it a mediocre addition to my Halloween decorations. I would suggest considering other options before purchasing this product.
3. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I was really excited to have a "12 feet hovering witch" for Halloween, but Home Depot's version was a complete disappointment. The so-called hovering feature barely worked, and the witch often ended up bumping into walls or falling over. Additionally, the noise it made while trying to hover was extremely irritating. The quality was also lacking, with loose threads and flimsy construction. Save your money and invest in a better quality decoration.
