The comical twist is that collectively, we are just as stupid now, as we were then. We just can't see it in the present, as easy as in the past.

The best part of false accusations is how rarely they come with apologies when you're proven innocent of the charge.

Fun fact: In the landlocked African country of Eswatini, it is illegal for a witch to fly their broom at an altitude greater than 150 meters. Doing so can result in a fine equal to roughly $33, 000 USD

The most unpredictable channel on YouTube. You never cease to amaze us . Thank you

How easy to manipulate mass crowd hysteria no matter what times you're in. There's another manipulator type even much worse than witchfinder, that's called politician.

He also had an economic interest in the people's deaths, as he got a percentage of their estate.

If you're interested, the witchhunts in Lorraine, Sweden and Bavaria of the second half of the 16th century probably raised comparable numbers

Fear of the unknown and ignorance are, to this day, a potential lethal combination.. Thanks Arran, very much appreciated as usual.❤

My ex accused me and my family of being witches/pagans to my manager… which seems like a joke to normal people but my workplace is Christian and they genuinely looked suspicious of me afterwards. It’s crazy to think that some people still have these mindsets to this day and if my situation was 400 years ago I’d be swimming with the fishes😬

Evil? Yes. The MOST evil? Not by a long shot.

[GRGKA]

we look at what they did as utterly insane. imagine what they are going to look back at us and think.

What is funny is that this is still a very active mass hysteria phenoma in Africa and yet not a word about it

[Alfiy_Wolf]

They use to call me witch hunter in school not because I was cool or popular but because my only friend was a girl with a mental illness and she use to tell everyone she was a witch - I miss you Abbie

Shakespeare made his feelings toward Puritans known in his play "Twelfth Night" and the Puritans made their feelings toward Shakespeare known when they pulled down the Globe Theatre in 1644.

I'm autistic, so have always been "a bit different". I can't help but wonder how many people, women especially, were killed this way due to things like neurodivergence...

[buckanderson]

It's amazing how many people that for fear of evil became the very evil they feared. The evil they found in others was the evil found first in their own hearts.

Aside from all this, none of the real witches were ever caught. They were far too smart and crafty.

My ancestor Micheal Cleary burned his wife accusing her of being a witch in 1895, her family helped cover it up and he received 20 years in prison for manslaughter despite admitting to killing her and burning her over the course of 7 days. Her witchyness? She was a decorated and highly talented seamstress, was financially independent, outspoken in believing in women's rights and unfortunately had multiple mental health problems (many of which are now known to run in the family) Her name was Bridget Cleary.

Vincent Price did a fantastic job of playing Hopkins

My life has been a complete and total misery ever since Bigfoot stole my precious girlfriend in the middle of the night. 😒 He even took all her clothes and the T.V. 😔
