Witch Hunting on TikTok

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Hey guys.

[00:00:01]If you were a woman in the 1600s, [music] your chances of owning a bank account were about 0% and your chance of being burned alive at the stake [music] for literally no reason at all was not 0%.

[00:00:11]We don't need to be history buffs to know that the Salem Witch Trials were a terrible thing that shouldn't have happened, but I did find out the other day that a lot of the hysteria was [music] thanks to doctors claiming that witchcraft was causing illnesses they couldn't figure out. So, it's super comforting to know that medical professionals blaming women for health conditions they don't understand yet is a tradition we've carried on for thousands and thousands of years. But, it turns out that's not the only modern parallel we can draw from the [music] Salem Witch Trials because we're doing them again, all of it, the whole thing, on TikTok.

[00:00:45]>> [music] >> We may not be putting people on legal trial for witchcraft anymore, but that's not going to stop the internet from throwing allegations around. [music] >> Makeup is witchcraft. I said what I said. Anytime you have to start trying to cover up and reconstruct your face with different powders and blushes and >> She's wearing lip gloss as she says this, by the way. Lips don't shine like that on their own, by the way. She also keeps mentioning Transformers in this video.

[00:01:09]>> the men, you know, these Transformers, they out here looking more feminine than the women.

[00:01:14]>> And I don't really know why. Like, what is putting on a little mascara have to do with the battle between Autobots and the Decepticons? I like how we constantly hear variations of this on how makeup shouldn't be allowed because it changes our appearance too much.

[00:01:27]>> You don't look like that for real. With the makeup on and with the makeup off, you look like two completely different people. You're transforming. It's witchcraft.

[00:01:34]>> Like, okay. Since when is changing how something looks a bad thing? Does she also hate it when people paint a room?

[00:01:38]Whatever you do, do not renovate your bathroom around this lady. She's going to freak the [ __ ] [screaming] out. A lot of these videos frame witches as being this kind of secret [music] agent whose mission is to infiltrate the church.

[00:01:50]>> Okay, this is going to sound crazy to some of you, but it needs to be said because it's real.

[00:01:53]>> Why did she slap us like that? What did we do? Does she think we're witches?

[00:01:57]There are real Satanists from cults and real witches from covens that have been sent on assignment to your church to collect spiritual intel and to release curses.

[00:02:06]>> According to her, witches are the [music] ones to blame for many things happening within the church like sickness, >> And then everyone's confused, right?

[00:02:11]Like why is there so much sickness? Why is our worship team always burn out? Why does it always feel so heavy when we're together?

[00:02:17]>> divorce, >> Why is there so much divorce?

[00:02:19]>> being poor, >> Why is there a lack in finance? Why is this happening? Why is that happening?

[00:02:23]>> The idea of seeing so many people struggle right now, you know, with the economy and other things, and the only thing you can think to blame for it is a secret agent witch. Cody Banks, if he was a witch. This just feels like a way to ignore the root cause [music] of these issues while also shifting responsibility away from the church to actually do anything about them. Oh, there's a family in our church who can't afford groceries this month?

[00:02:47]>> Yeah, it's pretty sad.

[00:02:48]>> If only there was something we could do.

[00:02:50]>> You could like >> [music] >> buy them groceries.

[00:02:53]>> Something we could do about these evil witches. She also lets us know that witches are sometimes sent after specific people.

[00:03:01]>> There was a witch that was sent on assignment against me. She saw my testimony, she got smacked by the glory of God, she repented, [music] turned from her cult, and was born again. Hallelujah.

[00:03:09]>> Kind of like a hitman. But so far the only hits have come from her, so I think her implication is that the [music] witches are sent to find Christians and convert them over to their side.

[00:03:18]>> Which is terrible. How dare they invade someone else's space and then try and force their beliefs onto people? What a horrible and never been done before thing to do.

[00:03:27]>> But a not horrible thing to do would be to talk about today's sponsor. This video is sponsored by Bombas.

[00:04:32]Thank you to Bombas for sponsoring, and let's get back to the video. [music] There's a common message in most of the videos I found that if you can't figure out who the witches are in your church, that's actually a skill issue. Witches are in the church, and guess what they are good at, deception. Discernment is the number one thing that is going to reveal if somebody is operating in something other than the spirit of God.

[00:04:56]>> say if you can't discern witches from actual [music] Christians in the church, it's because you are a lukewarm Christian and aren't serving God hard enough, which is exactly what I would say if I was trying to get my entire congregation to distrust each other. Oh, so you love and trust your community?

[00:05:10]That's actually because you're [ __ ] stupid. There are literally witches serving Satan, and you would know that if you didn't hate God. The word discernment is used a lot in these. It's even considered a spiritual gift.

[00:05:21]>> Now, if you have the Holy Spirit, you get to have all the spiritual gifts that are outlined in the Bible, the spiritual gift of discernment, which many Christians in the lukewarm church or the American church today lack in. One that you don't get to have if you're a lukewarm Christian. So, you better wear a jacket. Prayer, of course, is another good method to keep the witches at bay.

[00:05:39]We also should be, as the church, operating in prayer, corporate prayer. A house that is not built on prayer is honestly set up for failure in one form or another. Probably why prayer is so attacked. I've heard people say this before that prayer is under attack and it makes praying sound very action packed, which is kind of the opposite of what prayer is. And we now lay her to rest in your [music] eternal kingdom.

[00:06:04]Amen.

[00:06:06]Who threw that? Me.

[00:06:09]Witch. Everyone, I'm discerning that this woman is a witch sent to attack this funeral. Well, I also know how to discern.

[00:06:17]Break discern on the ground.

[00:06:20]Discern this.

[00:06:23]Apparently you don't even have to be a witch to be practicing witchcraft. Now, sometimes people aren't actively participating in witchcraft and going to church and trying to do all these things. Sometimes they're operating in manipulation and control, which is still witchcraft at its lowest, simplest form is control and manipulation. Hang on a second. Are you telling me my ex-husband was a witch? No wonder he was always flying off the handle.

[00:06:49]The broom handle.

[00:06:52]>> [laughter] [music] >> By the way, if you don't spot the witches in your congregation fast enough, they're going to curse you. Can witches curses affect Christians? Most Christians don't believe that they could possibly be cursed by a witch or warlock. He also says they'll have a much easier time cursing you if you haven't repented for your sins enough.

[00:07:16]Unrepentant [music] sin in your life, which is rebellion to the Lord, which many Christians are in. Or if you're too prideful. Pride will [music] be number three, which most Christians are walking in. Also, many witches will astral [music] project into your home and then monitor you. You mean they're going to project their asses into my home? Astral project. see a downside to this. I'm only seeing a backside here. These videos never really specify what's going to happen after you're cursed [music] by a witch. They mostly just talk about how it will happen and it will be your fault. Like even if you accept a gift [music] from one, you're screwed.

[00:07:52]>> Also, having anything given to you from a witch or a warlock in your [music] possession, like jewelry, books, clothing, food, which will make a spiritual contract.

[00:08:01]>> Which has got to make church potlucks a little awkward. Rebecca, do you want some chili? Ooh, that looks delicious, [music] Stacy, but no, I'm okay. What, you don't like my chili? No, I just couldn't. I'm on a new diet. It's very low-cal. I don't want your [ __ ] chili, okay? Why, because you think I'm a witch? No, it's because your chili tastes like [ __ ] ass, Stacy, okay?

[00:08:18]But on the other hand, if you aren't getting cursed by a witch, it's because you're not enough of a threat to Satan, aka you're still not doing enough for God.

[00:08:25]>> If you have not felt any [music] witchcraft, then you're most likely not a threat to Satan's kingdom and you're not [music] doing much for God.

[00:08:35]>> So, it's bad if you get cursed by a witch, but also bad if you don't get cursed by a witch. Damned if I do and damned if I don't. Me when I'm a beaver and I'm trying to decide to go to work or not. Their qualifications for someone being a witch are also so broad that they can be applied to literally anyone.

[00:08:49]And they're never actually describing someone who practices witchcraft.

[00:08:52]They're just describing the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs version of a witch.

[00:08:57]What does a witch in the church look like? They will usually dress very conservatively, so you would never guess that they're a witch.

[00:09:06]>> Oh, dressing modestly means you're a witch? You mean the thing that the church has been telling women to do since forever? Put some clothes on, [ __ ] Okay.

[00:09:19]Take some clothes off, you witch. Okay.

[00:09:22]Does this mean that the Duggars are witches? Is that why they had so many kids? So they can Hansel and Gretel them? That's why they've always got the kids cleaning the kitchen, so they can trap them in the oven, like the visit.

[00:09:33]>> Extremely good at acting godly, give you [music] words from God, they want to put their hands on you in prayer. Their laugh can sound like a cackle.

[00:09:41]>> So, if someone dresses modestly or appears to be a good and godly Christian or just has a kind of funny laugh, that means that they're a witch? You just incriminated about 95% of any congregation. You just described Seth Rogen. Seth Rogen is a witch now. This is what I mean, dude. Whenever they're describing the big, bad, scary witches, they're actually just describing regular people that we encounter every single day.

[00:10:04]>> These witches are using biblical language. I just came across this lady on TikTok and gorgeous, so pretty. And that's always something that I note. If someone's beauty is very, uh, exaggerated.

[00:10:15]>> So, when someone is beautiful, that makes you suspicious of them? Oh, wow, you are so pretty. Aw, thank you. Too pretty.

[00:10:25]But then my spirit was like, this doesn't sound right. And I went to her page and I was seeing her stuff and nothing was outwardly witchy. Like, she didn't say she was a witch. There was no [music] like information that gave specifically witchy. So, you saw a woman on TikTok who wasn't a witch, whose account had nothing to do with being a witch, and by your own admission had nothing outwardly witchy going on, and yet you still came to the conclusion that she's a witch?

[00:10:48]>> And I go to her link in her bio and I'm like, oh, this is like heavily Christian language. And I said, okay.

[00:10:55]Witchcraft confirmed.

[00:10:57]I wonder where we've seen this kind of thinking before. I wonder if there's any other times in history where women have been labeled as witches despite there being no evidence to back those claims.

[00:11:07]Their explanation of witches are so dramatic and demonizing that it kind of feels like the Santa Claus for church-attending adults.

[00:11:15]>> protection against witchcraft [music] is to forgive everyone. Humble yourself from all pride in your life. Repent for your sins.

[00:11:22]>> If you're good all year and on your very best behavior, then the big bad witches can't project their asses into your room and tell God that you're watching OnlyFans models twerk on dildos shaped like tentacles, [music] okay? It's definitely a type of fear-mongering, but to what end? Like, what is the point in doing this?

[00:11:38]I'm not actually asking. I just said that for a segway. I know what the reason is. Money! Wow, what a surprising surprise. They're all doing this to sell something on the internet.

[00:11:48]>> called Freedom from Soul Wounds and Demons.

[00:11:51]>> Not only is he selling a book that teaches you how to protect yourself from witches, he's also selling an online course. Of course.

[00:12:00]Of [clears throat] course he is.

[00:12:05]This creator is also selling an online course, which is really funny because of this.

[00:12:09]>> Todd, I was reading the description.

[00:12:11]She's like, this course is to help you, you know, find the power within. So, this is your daily reminder that the witches are getting really good.

[00:12:19]>> So, you saw her selling an online Christian course and decided that that conclusively proves that she's a witch.

[00:12:25]When you yourself are also selling an online Christian course and a book.

[00:12:30]These people need to stop writing books and start reading them. Please, touch book. This creator also falls into the selling an online course category, but she belongs in a special subcategory that I found and like to call used to be a witch, but then became a [music] Christian and isn't a witch anymore, but now they spill all the insider secrets and all the hot goss about being a witch as a career now on the internet.

[00:12:52]It's a working title.

[00:12:53]>> I didn't really feel weird about Halloween until I got delivered of demonic spirits. [music] It glorifies demons. It glorifies darkness. It glorifies and celebrates death. It's actually disgusting some of the Halloween decor that I see on people's front lawns. I can't believe that. How could we put that in our front yard?

[00:13:09]>> You don't like when death is celebrated or when imagery involving death is in people's front yards.

[00:13:16]You're going to hate Easter. Wait until I tell you about what happened on the cross, dude. You know, the one that people put in their yards and on their bodies and in their churches. This subcategory is mostly people claiming that practicing witchcraft made them a horrible person while also sounding like they know nothing about witchcraft.

[00:13:33][music] >> my husband having an affair with a woman at work. How much you charge me to destroy her?

[00:13:38]>> Holy [ __ ] it's an actual witch hitman.

[00:13:40]Oh no, it's agent 666. Wingardium levio kill that [ __ ] Okay, if your husband is cheating on you, don't hire a witch to kill that woman.

[00:13:51]Hire a witch to kill your husband. How much you charge me? I said I charge you $10,000.

[00:13:57]>> is so unrealistic. You're telling me you agreed to kill someone for $10,000?

[00:14:02]That's it? That barely even covers the cost of materials. Have you ever bought a coffin? That leaves you with like a $1,000 profit max. Guys, who the hell is Max?

[00:14:16]This grift relies on engaging a Christian audience by demonizing non-Christians. So of course he has to pretend like when he was a witch he actively hated all Christians.

[00:14:25]>> She said by the way, she's Christian. I said well I'd do it for free.

[00:14:28]>> It's like in God's Not Dead when the only way they can portray an atheist character is by making them the evilest person alive.

[00:14:35]>> god, a puppy.

[00:14:38]>> [music] >> I [ __ ] hate those things. Wow, look at this gorgeous sunset.

[00:14:44]It makes me sick. Oh my god, is that premarital sex?

[00:14:50]I [ __ ] with that heavy. I bought a coffin, I bought 21 candles, I put everything together and the devil comes in. I could feel his presence coming.

[00:14:58]She said how God said to leave her alone. She can't be touched.

[00:15:01]>> Anyone who believes in a god can't be assassinated by witchcraft. Good thing that's a pretty niche demographic.

[00:15:07][music] Hey, if you ever have anyone you want to get rid of, just let me know. Oh wow, thank you. Unless [music] they like the color blue or if they've ever stubbed their toe on something or if they've ever played or not played [music] the video game Minecraft. Can't do it.

[00:15:21]>> So I was a practicing witch for 10 years, was involved in black magic, rituals, seances, you name it, I was doing it.

[00:15:28]>> this one a lot because the pictures she uses to prove she used to do witchcraft are just her wearing eye shadow. The first smoking. Girl, if that's all it takes, I think we all have practiced witchcraft, especially in 2016.

[00:15:41]>> to tell you the top five ways that the devil deceives Christians into continuing to practice witchcraft even if they've renounced the outward practices that seem more apparent.

[00:15:49]Number one, rebellion is witchcraft. So, this is rebellion to your husband.

[00:15:55]Rebellion to your husband is witchcraft?

[00:15:58]Is it? Is it really? You know what? If you want to head back to the 1600s [music] when your husband could get you thrown in prison for not making his bread crispy enough, you go right ahead.

[00:16:07]Enjoy wiping your ass with straw and bubonic plague.

[00:16:12]>> Videos like these and ones that share experiences with witchcraft all have the same purpose of painting witches as these monstrous, comically evil characters that only exist for them to prevail upon >> come into our meeting and says, "I'm more powerful than Jesus." And I said, "Oh, that's interesting." And I went over and said, "Hey, you doing okay?"

[00:16:29]And he says, "No, I can't move a muscle in my body." He says, "What's going on here?" I said, "Well, there's someone that's more powerful here." This is just Wattpad for boys.

[00:16:39]He's basically writing fan fiction where he has magical powers and defeats the other guy with magical powers because his magical powers are better and stronger. When they talk about witches, they aren't thinking of a person. It's really just a pawn that they're using in order to win battles, except the battles are invisible and made up, so they win every time. Their message is this double-edged sword that makes you suspicious of your community.

[00:17:00]>> Mainly women, let's be honest, and paints other religions as something people need to repent and recover from.

[00:17:06]And since most of this is happening online and is coming from people who are ranting in their rooms or in their cars, it's easy to forget the kind of real-world effects this kind of messaging can have and has had historically. The other day I saw this video of a woman getting her hair done at a salon, but for a reason we're going to talk about more in a minute, she has some blood in her hair.

[00:17:25]>> you to wash the chicken blood out of her hair.

[00:17:29]Wait, why do you have chicken blood in your hair though?

[00:17:31]>> Which is not something that I would personally want to wash out of someone's hair if I was a hairdresser, but these are her friends, they're her regular hairdressers and they did. They show her transformation at the end and she looks amazing. Her new hair is clearly giving her a confidence boost because she's smiling and she's glowing. So imagine my confusion when I looked in the comments and saw this.

[00:17:49]>> In the name of Jesus, I rebuke any negative energy from this video.

[00:17:52]Witchcraft is real. That was a destiny swap spell for sure. That was 100% a fate swap. She took someone else's life to better hers. I don't know witchcraft, but I know Jesus and that isn't right.

[00:18:04]Nobody's talking about how she looks so drained in the beginning of the video, but at the end she's literally refreshed.

[00:18:09]>> like how people go and get their hair done and then afterwards they look refreshed because they just got [music] their hair done?

[00:18:14]>> Let me not start talking about the pasta ritual that some women do. I don't know what that means. Is that like when you go to Olive Garden and you eat the Alfredo tortellini dish and it's really, really yummy? I like that ritual. That's a good ritual.

[00:18:26]>> People on TikTok immediately started labeling her as a witch, saying that this was some kind of witchcraft where she was trying to swap fates with someone.

[00:18:33]>> That [ __ ] is a witch. That's witchcraft. That's evil as [ __ ] But worst of all claiming that she had cast a spell here that caused the death of her friend's child.

[00:18:42]>> to wash the chicken blood out of her hair, the baby girl passed away not long after that. That is how dangerous this is. That is how immoral and evil this stuff is.

[00:18:50]>> This video is what inspired me to talk about this because unlike the other ones I've shown, this was directed at an actual person. This was a literal modern-day witch hunt.

[00:19:00]>> She's going to pay for that. The woman who's done that is going to pay for that.

[00:19:03]>> this woman practices Santeria, which is a religion that started in Afro-Cuban communities. She made a comment explaining this and that the blood was there as part of a protection ritual she was doing for herself because she was about to go on a trip, which has now been deleted because people were harassing her and accusing her of causing the death of one of her loved ones.

[00:19:22]>> that day, all I got was a head vocation.

[00:19:24]A head vocation is completely harmless.

[00:19:26]It's just [music] a head cleansing for like protection. And the animal of choice wasn't even a chicken. I'm not evil, not no demon. I'm not out here trying to get nobody's soul. I'm not sacrificing anything. This is extremely demonic.

[00:19:38]>> Girl.

[00:19:41]Girl, why is everyone acting like they've never seen blood used in any religion? It's literally used routinely in Christianity.

[00:19:49]>> Her daughter died the next day.

[00:19:51]>> It wasn't the next day, it was months later. This is like saying, "Oh, I went to church on Sunday and then on Monday my husband died in a car crash. Clearly it was going to church that made my husband die in a car crash." But still people were commenting stuff like "Okay, yeah, it may be part of her religion, but I don't care. There was blood involved. And so if there's blood involved, that makes it bad and scary."

[00:20:11]And all I have to say to that is, are you [ __ ] dumb? Are you [ __ ] dumb?

[00:20:15]Are you [ __ ] dumb? Are you [ __ ] dumb? Are you [ __ ] dumb? Are you [ __ ] dumb?

[00:20:21]Are you [ __ ] dumb?

[00:20:22]>> This is full-blown demonic and it's it [music] is it is not of God.

[00:20:26]>> It's not of your God.

[00:20:27]>> And you always got to pray.

[00:20:30]>> Guess what praying is?

[00:20:33]A protection ritual. Guess what she did?

[00:20:35]A protection ritual. You guys are doing the same [ __ ] You're doing the exact same thing that she was [music] doing just in different ways.

[00:20:43]>> [screaming] >> There's nothing good about Santeria, these spiritual cleanses and I'm going to put a egg cleanse and I'm going to sacrifice an animal and put the blood on on my head.

[00:20:51]>> what's really funny about this talking point is that God literally instructed Moses for every family to sacrifice a lamb and take the blood of the lamb and wipe it over their doors as a protection ritual to protect their firstborns.

[00:21:07]Animal sacrifice, blood ritual, protection spell. Am I Am I losing my [ __ ] mind? It's the same thing. Do you read the Bible and then get hit by the Men in Black thing that just zaps your memory clean? Is that what's happening? So, this is just a friendly reminder that sometimes we see something we don't understand [music] and sometimes people believe in things that we don't believe in. And during those times, we shouldn't be jumping [music] to conclusions even if everyone else is.

[00:21:31]Also, if your religious beliefs are founded in [ __ ] on other people's religious beliefs, that's not a religion. That's just you being a hater.

[00:21:38]You're just a hating ass [ __ ] and you would be no matter what your religion was. And that's okay.

[00:21:44]>> [music] >> I mean, it's not, but that's what it is.

[00:21:47]Anyway, guys, I've got to go fly over El Monte because my friend [music] whose name is Hotel Transylvania needs a ride.

[00:21:52]So, I'll see you next time.

[00:21:55]Witch spotted flying on a broom with a body hanging in El Monte.

[00:22:00]That looks like people on a broom. It's Hotel Transylvania.

[00:22:12]>> [music]
