That guy who proposed the "maybe they're not witches" idea was later crushed to death for being a witch.

“All women are queens”
“If she breathes, she’s a WIIIITCH!!!!”

Fun fact, there was actually a man involved in prosecuting these women who started questioning the witch trials, he said something along the lines of "well burn them all, they're all witches" at which point he was promptly burned for being witch because that's something only a witch would say.

I was doing a project about innocent people being falsely accused and I wanted to research into the Salem Witch trial. I found out that the youngest person to be accused of witchcraft was a 4 year old. Way to go, Salem

Men in the 1600s maybe:"It's just a prank bro, accusing women of being witches isn't that serious"

As someone who just had to write an essay in university on the witch trials in Salem I can say this is 100% historically accurate.

My 10th great grandma was Sarah North (Goodie) hanged as a witch. She laughed when her accuser started acting out at the trial and when ol Cotton Mather asked why she did she replied, “Why would I not laugh at such folly?” Sigh. You go grandma

"how'd your hair get that long?"
"WITCH"

After the one man started thinking for himself, I was expecting them all to go: “STONED” 💀

“Are you a witch?”
“No”
“Sounds like something a witch would say.”

“Ok but are YOU a witch?”
“No-“
“Hm sounds like something a witch would say..”

The fact they slowly went from ‘witch’ to ‘evil woman’ to ‘woman’, because in the end it’s just the women they’re against 😒

Me watching this: LOL imagine if this was how it actually went down!

I'm so early Ariana Grande still had tears left to cry.

That is fairly accurate, Witch Trials did target a lot of educated and/or women with careers who were financially independent who wanted to have their voices heard. Even midwifes were targeted, and they had *really* important stuff to do.

[Binxluvswamprats]

The fact she can play so many people is a thing only a witch could pull off!
