Are you a woman? Poor? Old? Do you have a funky birthmark or enjoy hanging out with friends—without a chaperone? Then you could have been accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials in 1692!

In this week’s episode of The List Show, Erin (@erincmccarthy) shares 17 signs that you’d qualify as a witch in the 1600s. Watch this week’s episode of The List Show to find out if you could have been accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials.
