Your forgetting about the children. I don't know or care what "Geralt" would do in this situation (I don't read the books), but anyone with a heart would choose to save the children even if it meant freeing an evil murderous spirit. Both choices have bad consequences. But one choice is to leave a bunch of children with witches, and one is to free them. There can only really be one logical reason for witches wanting to have a bunch of orhpans -- sacrifice, or as the spirit says, to be eaten.
