Women in dark capes and tall pointed hats from across the Lower Mainland will once again be congregating on the water in Pitt Meadows.

The third annual Witches Haunt the Water is being hosted by the group Women Who Paddle, a club that encourages women to get out their paddle boards, or kayaks, and get out on the water.

Only those who are already a member of the online group were allowed to register for the event.

Paddlers will be dressed up in their best 鈥渨itchy wardrobe鈥� and be travelling in decorated and/or lit up vessels.

Participation is by donation to help the owner of the dock, where the witches will launch from, raise funds to upgrade the structure.

鈥淭his is the third year he has helped us with our event at no cost,鈥� said Norrie, who is asking each participant to donate $10, if they are able.

Last year the group raised $700.

鈥淟et鈥檚 pay it back and help him out,鈥� appealed Norrie.
