...Or was it pulled from folklore? Does anybody know why Bradbury chose the term if it originated with him?

"The April Witch," written by Bradbury in 1952, is a short story that tells of a girl from a magical family who is called by the same term,
and can basically astrally project and possess people.

April Witch (Swedish: Aprilhäxan) by Majgull Axelsson, incidentally, was inspired by the Bradbury story.
