Let me ask you this: why there "shouldn't" be any kind of this?

You are basically trapped by the false premise Umineko would be your cookie cutter mystery plot a la Agatha Christie which is absolutely not the case.
Considering the genre and medium, umineko offers a blend of several genre, graviting around the mystery regarding the culprit(s). That is to say, it doesn't have to follow any convention, and to make things even more interesting: as we mentioned several times ever since this second arc started, if you stop your thought process just because of the flashy magic scenes, you just lost the game, period.

The idea is actually not figuring out "if it is a witch or a human", but simply sticking on your conviction, then elaborating the arguments behind your own premise.
Basically: it isn't because there are witches that Magic exists in the real world of Umineko. Plain and simple.
