Fun fact, viking held women at such a high regard to where women would handle all of the financial stuff for the household. Yes, the Vikings said female rights.
Bug! Nope they didn’t that’s just how modern media represented them.Women held high status in Viking Culture and were valued. Lol Did a whole history project about them?
I mean if I was going to a Halloween party plus club night I'd go for the modern witch costume. I liked the authentic viking and pirate the most, but I'd rather wear those at a renaissance fair or reenactment event :P
If I had to wear some of these for Halloween, the accurate witch and viking outfits would be a little lackluster for me. But the historically accurate noble women and pirate seemed like fun! Really liked those the most

This is like that one nerd friend who points out everything that’s historically inaccurate in movies and such I would know cause I’m that friend. Wonder why no one invites me to the movies 🤔
@@jackdoe7401 I know and I'm asking you why do you want to see legs and cleavage. It shouldn't affect you whether a female shows her cleavage and legs or not unless you plan on looking at them.
When people are dressed as witches, they don't think of the actual witches. Like those who were a costume of Dracula has no intent of looking like the king it was based on.
idk why everyone is so mad in the comments.. like come on. this video is just for fun. they’re not telling you to stop wearing historically inaccurate costumes, they’re just finding another way to educate you on history. go on and rage about how it’s just a costume when literally no one is oppressing you.
I know someone who has a show on history channel. Said it got sold tp a new company who isnt historically correct. Thus why they have horrible shows like truck night.
Healthy? The rest of the year, History is more like that uncle that's always drunk, slurs random stories and randomly yells about aliens somewhere in between.
A lot of this is common knowledge. Everyone knows noble women didn't wear super short skirts, most costumes are much longer in length. There are plenty of "more accurate" costumes at the store for all of these. The only thing I would correct for people are the viking horns and the typical "Cleopatra" outfits because no one seems to know what actual Egyptians wore.
I'm sure that wasn't lost on the History channel crew, since a video representing such a large channel would have to pass through a lot of hoops. The point isn't to show "these obviously inaccurate costumes are wrong," but rather, to inform people on what they would look like if they were correct. It's not that deep.
@@fruitygarlic3601 it's is that deep smarty pants all they did was state the obvious and show more semi accurate costumes history channel ain't historical and you aren't a know it all
I guess the reason for these costumes being historically inaccurate is due to simplicity and pricing. Even if you want your costume to be historically accurate, it's a very expensive. You have to buy the materials to make it as accurate as possible. Not to mention finding and paying someone to put it all together. That accurate French noblelady costume just screams "expensive". However, in case of the historically accurate female pirate, all you have to do is find loose clothing in your home and buy the hat and eye patch at the store.
Vikings favorite movie is black and white movie They are believed to have discovered ketchups They like to trade their socks at event called sock n garten They like to entertain themselves by tossing shields and tossing burning shields
They don't care about accuracy given the fact they stated women were banned from being pirates. Some of the roughest pirate captains were openly known to be women
The original ‘witches’ did wear hats like that though! The stereotypically image of an old woman with a pointed hat stirring cauldron came from women brewing beer! Women were the original brewsters, and their shops were often marked by a sign bearing the image of pointed hat like the one shown. The stereotypical image of a witch was born from this ancient tradition! Edit: Hey everyone, just wanted to add this in - I know that actual witches didn’t wear hats like this, I just wanted to share where this idea originally came from. I am pagan myself and I know the history, but I thought this fact was cool and wanted to share. Also, I read the Crucible in high school and I enjoyed it.
But that was never the witch. I'm guessing they only made witches wear the hats to insist that women who brew beer are doing the "devil's work" as it was believed and most likely the wizard of oz made the green faced witch to essentially say all women who brew beer are ugly.
@@yourlocalcryptid6024 that last bit was a stretch. I don't think wizard of oz had anything to do with beer. Or did you mean something different? I might have misread.
The hottest “nurse” that I ever met was a candy striper. I guess these “candy stripers” were young women who volunteered at the hospital that my mother worked at.
Actually the eye-patch wasn't used for conditioning the eye for fighting in the dark. They were for very sunny day's when a crewmen would go bellow deck from topside. After which they would switch the eye-patch to the one exposed to the sun. Therefore, they would instantly see better under the deck.
@@kottonkandy0962 Salty. Also, he said "trying" so even if this wasn't commented ironically, he never said he was actually successful in getting laid. You have no one to be mad at except yourself for being a turbo virgin.
@@alexbattaglia8297 braids because they often wore wigs than their hair. I know man shaved their heads, but I think woman mostly braided them and putted wigs on them. Edit: also I'm talking from Cleopatra and before. After her reign, the Egyptian dynasty was mostly gone. Like you said, they were more of greek descent.
When someone wears a witch costume, it's generally not meant to be a wrongfully accused woman, but an evil sorceress from a fantasy universe, ao she can wear whatever. Otherwise very nice video.👍
When I dressed up as a witch last time I took a more “American Horror Story: Coven”approach. So a much more modern, what Stevie Nicks would wear today if she was 20 type of look lol. Witch costumes can really vary bc there’s a few different wants to do it.
The noble woman outfit is dependent entirely on which time period it's from. You would think a video talking about costume accuracy would have a least have briefly gone over this.
That was not the point of the video in the first place, you dumbfuck. It was to give you a comparrison between stupid pop culture and how it actually looked like
Kid with epilepsy in salem: *has a fit* People of salem: lets toss him in the pond lol. *10 minutes later* Maybe... hes not a witch... Kid: *swims to the top* HELP IM .. DROWNING! people: HOW DARE YOU LIVE!
" Female pirates weren't allowed on ships and never flaunted their feminimity" are't there whole lists and books about the numerous female pirates? And there was one that specifically wore her chest exposed......like? History channel what??
@bad bad mc bad idk But I'm pretty sure that puritan women could talk lol. Ann Hutchinson talked, nobody had a problem with her talking. They had a problem with her teaching. Also, i know the scarlet letter isn't totally historically accurate, but i feel like if it's a well known fact that puritan women weren't allowed to talk, then that fact would have been incorporated into the novel. I've never heard anyone say that puritan women were not allowed to talk. Do you remember where you heard that?
@bad bad mc bad You do realize that it wasn't just women that were accused? Many men were accused, too. The brother of one of my ancestors was one of them, accused by Ann Putnam et al. When he was brought before the magistrate, they were unable to speak or repeat their accusation, so his charges were dismissed.
Salem Witch Trials was most likely due to the lack of crop growth during a rain drought in tandem with an extended winter. When the crops don’t grow and your village is starving, best thing to do is blame alleged witches for preventing the growth.
You actually didn't have to enter doors side ways with panniers! Panniers, crinolines, bustles, and others were made to be collapsible so a lady could sit.
Well maybe that's today's panniers? Or is it the same as the historical ones? Because in my mind the historical ones are practically hard so the lady couldn't sit and then in our modern century they just reformed it in kind of way so ladies don't have to stand all the time while wearing that kind of costume
@@krikarijazliezayas7873 today they're made of plastic, but earlier they used fish bones, that made them flexible. So yes, the ladies could sit, but they weren't flexible enough to enter a door. In fact, the doors were larger at the palasts😅
These are hilarious because the "accurate" versions aren't all that accurate either - not that anyone thought the originals were supposed to be accurate either... 😂 The noblewoman is especially egregious, it looks like the halloween ver was riffing on late medieval to early Renaissance styles but they arbitrarily chose Georgian fashion as the 'accurate' version.
Natural hair was also used in most Georgian hair styles too women in wigs was far more satirical and it wouldn’t be straight white, pomade and powder is how the hair was kept clean too
If you’re going for accuracy, referring to the whole Norse culture as Vikings is COMPLETELY inaccurate. The only Norse who were “Vikings” were those who went on the raids, i.e. the ones who went “Viking”.
@@Mrreowmeowmrreowmrowmeow it was actually just a small portion of the population that was "vikings" most of the times when they traveled they just traded. You only hear about the crule things the vikings did because of the people they attacked dramatized it while the vikings didn't keep any record of their journey and if they did it was mostly written in stone (runsten) and that mostly happened if someone famous died or if they experienced something very interesting.
Also, while my knowledge of Norse culture is sorely lacking, I mean you’d think she’d have her hair up in a knot at the back of the head? Or at least in braids? Like I’m not sure you’re supposed have loose hair in front of anyone besides your husband in the bedroom or something. Idk perhaps were stricter later on or it different countries or something
18th century women DID NOT have to enter rooms sideways, for two reasons: 1) Like crinolines, panniers are flexible, the could be squished out of the way or purposefully caused to collapse to get through narrow spaces 2) Because no one knew how long panniers would be in fashion, for particularly that reason most noble houses had their doorways widened to accommodate the pannier
Not to mention women, especially noblewomen, did not pick their skirts up to walk. The panniers underneath kept everything out of the way and off the floor. And what was wrong with the back of that dress?!? The front looks kind of like a saque back, but the back is laced?
Exactly, no 18th century gowns closed at the back. ALL of them closed at the front because back closing gowns are an invention from the 19th century Also only men wore wigs, women wore hair extensions and hair pieces but never a full-on wig
AND also, ankles were not yet scandalous in the 18th century and many paintings show ankles and women wore walking skirts which were above ankle length
Women did wear wigs. The amount of hair they would have lost from constantly teasing it to make it fuller. Not to mention the diseases at the time. Of course they wore wigs. They would have been powdered and probably full of fleas. Georgiana duchess of Devonshire in the 18th century wore many wigs. She was seen as the empress of fashion.
I mean, there are people who really believe Vikings wore horns on their helmets. And considering there are 7.5 billion people on this planet I think it's pretty safe to assume someone out there believes this.
I can vouch, we like coziness! I usually wear lots of loose flowing dresses made of comfy durable material. During winter its soft fuzzy things that make you feel warm and happy! On halloween I wear a hat from my grandmother though that much fits the steriotype, but I just like pointy hats lol. Edit: for common folk its Halloween im aware my fellow witches celebrate Samhain.
If we're talking about medieval witches (which most witch costumes are these days), yeah, they won't wear anything that screams "I'm a witch", since that'll end up with a death penalty for being a witch.
The eye-patches of pirates? Actually proven to be something different: Wearing the eye-patch does two things: 1) During the day, keeps you from being blinded by the reflection off of the water. 2) During dusk hours, you have an easier transition to night vision -- which is the same reason US Special Forces operators don't do anything in the hour preceeding dark, and an hour after darkness falls.
Wyatt B H even then, they dressed similar to everyone at that time. it’s just like today. one of my long time friends is a witch and she follows trends and everything. it’s funny how things are
Witch hats didn't originate from kids books lol. There's literally a wiki article about it it's not even hard to research. The most popular theory is that before women were allowed to work, they'd brew and sell beer (which is where the cauldron thing comes from). The hat was used as an identifier, because ofc they couldn't advertise their illegal business.
@@sweatyskeleton7390 yeah, the broom was the thing they used to stir the beer and as you say, it was hung above the door basically to advertise. Also your username is horrible I love it
Yes because everything on wiki is true and can't be edited to suit someones wants XD my mate wrote on Wiki that teenage boys were caught smoking pot in McCabe park here in the Illawarra also beer was never outlawed in Europe you REALLY need to do your research
@@Vexlulz you did... In your first ever comment? I do believe it says "there's literally a WIKI article about it" did you not say that? You LITERALLY brought up Wikipedia and now your telling me you never mentioned it?
Was the incorrect noble woman really supposed to replicate a dress from the 18th century? Personally, I found it looked closer to a mock version of a dress from the 15th or 16th century, which is unfortunate because I would have loved to see their take on an "accurate" Tudor era outfit.
Just dress up like a human and say you’re in disguise. A real alien would be in disguise anyways. After that just get some techno gadgets and hide them but pull them out from time to time like if you need to contact your ship and inform them of something or record something you observed a human doing that an alien might find odd and necessary to record to better understand human behavior.
I think the witch thing didn't need to be added to this. Also that looked more like Viking everyday wear, not armor. The horned helmet statment made it seem like you were going to show Viking armor costumes
@@bittersweetti3351 Excuse me? half of viking pillager's and raisers as well as battlers were female. Dont take today's gender standards and try to apply them to a different time. Women were usually treated as equals to men
Lexi Right not in all societies and I wasn’t applying today’s standards. What you’re saying is out of context, I never mentioned amutjing to do with todays standards. I’m not an expert in the field of Vikings but women weren’t treated equally in the time period of Vikings, so I thought about that. I haven’t studied Viking history but i have worked on medieval history I’m sorry to have offended you in any way.
@@bittersweetti3351 The video says "viking respected their women", You haven't offended me, I don't take your incorrect information personally. medieval history is vastly different to viking history, you cant even begin to compare them. Battlefields have been found of vikings and 50% of skeletons were female. If you're going to claim you know nothing then don't try to argue with someone over something they know about.
I can't believe they were like "this witch costume is inaccurate" and then show the 'accurate' witch from the Salem witch trials as if they were actual witches lol
And what's wrong with that? If you dont believe in aliens then thats your business History channel looked at the facts they found that couldn't be explained 100% through our conventional theories without huge holes in those theories if you want to believe the History channel has lost credibility because they presented a 'theory' then you should disregard all scientific theories such as evolution
Actually, unless it was a court dress (and the one in the video wasn't one), gowns in the 18th century didn't have back lace closing but were open on the front. The reversed triangle on the front was the stomacher and closed the gap. So not just the Halloween costume is wrong but also the "correct" one
Manuela Esse THANK YOU! also, it looks like they used a corset for that one when the appropriate foundation garment would have been a pair of stays but 🤷🏻♀️ oh well who needs accuracy anyway
let's not expect the History Channel to know anything about, I don't know, *history*... I noticed they used the same awful corset for both the Salem witch and the French noblewoman ughh
Just like getting tetanus! Now you know not to play with rusty knives anymore. Go figure how it almost feels like you could have learned that lesson in a better more constructive way.
Me before the pirate: "this is going to be insufferable isn't it." Me after the pirate: "oh that's not too bad, actually kinda fun" Immediately after that: " oh god I was right from the start this is insufferable!"
Sometimes Vikings wore horned helmets. Priests wore them sometimes. Also, the pointed women’s hat was worn on nobility. They just gave witches a black version.
Yeah, pointed hats (hennins) were worn by noble women in the fifteenth century with veils. They weren't worn in the seventeenth century. If you want to see a really accurate depiction of what a colonial American witch would wear, check out the movie "The Witch" from 2015 or at least check out the trailers on IMDb. The costumes were hand woven and hand sewn- incredible! And could you give a citation on Viking horn helmets? Thanks.
The titles a bit rich, coming from a channel that wouldn't know history if it bit them. "Women pirates wouldn't flaunt their femininity" - ever heard of Anne Bonny?
Anne bonney was a captain and still wore relatively the same thing. Pirates wore what was necessary because fancy clothes were expensive, you cant really go into town anymore after you get Anne Bonneys level of infamy and bounty, and salt water wrecks fabrics and soft metals.
@@theflerffyburr7919 well they did steal a lot of fancy clothes. Keep in mind that the image we have of pirates comes from when they came on land after they stole things. So naturally they'd dress like nobles by dressing as tacky and garishly as possible.
I think by "flaunting their feminity" they mean tight-fitting clothes, short skirts, and smaller, feminine weapons. Even if they did steal Noble clothes, those clothes would be just as, if not MORE covering than the traditional (accurate) pirate outfit. Also, just a joke, but I'd be a little surprised too if a man ripped off their pants mid-fight to "flaunt their masculinity" 😂
@@mariamatedei Halloween's most popular in the States, so of course they'll talk about American witches and the Salem witch trial. Also, they weren't as many European witch stories that reached popular status nor as much impact as the Salem witch trial.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 Yeah but Halloween has spread to other places outside of America. And they may not be as popularized but witch stories exist outside of the pilgrims. Like the caribbean has a lot of stories, but I wouldn't expect the history channel to acknowledge that.
Yes. Thank you. The classic image of a witch comes from brewsters. Right down to the broom and the cat. If they were gonna talk about it at all they should have mentioned that.

@@tyresehunia9633 it's an actual religion. You know that, right??
A lot of this is common knowledge. Everyone knows noble women didn't wear super short skirts, most costumes are much longer in length. There are plenty of "more accurate" costumes at the store for all of these. The only thing I would correct for people are the viking horns and the typical "Cleopatra" outfits because no one seems to know what actual Egyptians wore.
I'm sure that wasn't lost on the History channel crew, since a video representing such a large channel would have to pass through a lot of hoops.
The point isn't to show "these obviously inaccurate costumes are wrong," but rather, to inform people on what they would look like if they were correct.

Thank you, sweaty. Goodbye.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Kinda condescending to point out some of these facts like the short skirts
I guess the reason for these costumes being historically inaccurate is due to simplicity and pricing.
Even if you want your costume to be historically accurate, it's a very expensive. You have to buy the materials to make it as accurate as possible. Not to mention finding and paying someone to put it all together. That accurate French noblelady costume just screams "expensive".
However, in case of the historically accurate female pirate, all you have to do is find loose clothing in your home and buy the hat and eye patch at the store.
You could absolutely find inexpensive items at a thrift store. It doesn't have to be perfectly accurate to just be better than spirits.
Vikings didnt have horns om their helmet, that’s not about expense, that is culture misunderstanding
I can guarantee if you give me 30 bucks and a goodwill I can make these.
You can find cheaper dresses and other garments on amazon separately. But not all
Its actually not as expensive as one would think.

The original ‘witches’ did wear hats like that though! The stereotypically image of an old woman with a pointed hat stirring cauldron came from women brewing beer! Women were the original brewsters, and their shops were often marked by a sign bearing the image of pointed hat like the one shown. The stereotypical image of a witch was born from this ancient tradition!
Edit: Hey everyone, just wanted to add this in - I know that actual witches didn’t wear hats like this, I just wanted to share where this idea originally came from. I am pagan myself and I know the history, but I thought this fact was cool and wanted to share. Also, I read the Crucible in high school and I enjoyed it.
But that was never the witch. I'm guessing they only made witches wear the hats to insist that women who brew beer are doing the "devil's work" as it was believed and most likely the wizard of oz made the green faced witch to essentially say all women who brew beer are ugly.
I remember reading this too!
@@yourlocalcryptid6024 that last bit was a stretch. I don't think wizard of oz had anything to do with beer. Or did you mean something different? I might have misread.
Also witches still exist, so technically this entire thing is inaccurate cos witches can wear whatever they want
I really really doubt that, in terms of beer brewing. Where do you have those sources from?
Thankfully the naughty nurse outfit is historically accurate.

Actually the eye-patch wasn't used for conditioning the eye for fighting in the dark.

I've never heard anyone say that puritan women were not allowed to talk. Do you remember where you heard that?

Salem Witch Trials was most likely due to the lack of crop growth during a rain drought in tandem with an extended winter. When the crops don’t grow and your village is starving, best thing to do is blame alleged witches for preventing the growth.

You actually didn't have to enter doors side ways with panniers! Panniers, crinolines, bustles, and others were made to be collapsible so a lady could sit.
Well maybe that's today's panniers? Or is it the same as the historical ones? Because in my mind the historical ones are practically hard so the lady couldn't sit and then in our modern century they just reformed it in kind of way so ladies don't have to stand all the time while wearing that kind of costume
@@krikarijazliezayas7873 today they're made of plastic, but earlier they used fish bones, that made them flexible. So yes, the ladies could sit, but they weren't flexible enough to enter a door. In fact, the doors were larger at the palasts😅

These are hilarious because the "accurate" versions aren't all that accurate either - not that anyone thought the originals were supposed to be accurate either... 😂
The noblewoman is especially egregious, it looks like the halloween ver was riffing on late medieval to early Renaissance styles but they arbitrarily chose Georgian fashion as the 'accurate' version.
Thank you! I came into the comments to say this! The History Channel dress wasn't even Medieval
Also, I liked how they just said "noble woman" no time period or nationality or anything.
You forget to put " Actually"
Huh. I thought it looked more like rococo. O.o but it passes for Georgian better.
Natural hair was also used in most Georgian hair styles too women in wigs was far more satirical and it wouldn’t be straight white, pomade and powder is how the hair was kept clean too
If you’re going for accuracy, referring to the whole Norse culture as Vikings is COMPLETELY inaccurate. The only Norse who were “Vikings” were those who went on the raids, i.e. the ones who went “Viking”.
I thought they were all called vikings-
*thanks for teaching me history*
@@Mrreowmeowmrreowmrowmeow it was actually just a small portion of the population that was "vikings" most of the times when they traveled they just traded. You only hear about the crule things the vikings did because of the people they attacked dramatized it while the vikings didn't keep any record of their journey and if they did it was mostly written in stone (runsten) and that mostly happened if someone famous died or if they experienced something very interesting.
Also, while my knowledge of Norse culture is sorely lacking, I mean you’d think she’d have her hair up in a knot at the back of the head? Or at least in braids? Like I’m not sure you’re supposed have loose hair in front of anyone besides your husband in the bedroom or something. Idk perhaps were stricter later on or it different countries or something
Thank you for this information as I’ve been getting into Norse mythology recently and that lead me to want to know more about their life in general.
18th century women DID NOT have to enter rooms sideways, for two reasons:
1) Like crinolines, panniers are flexible, the could be squished out of the way or purposefully caused to collapse to get through narrow spaces
2) Because no one knew how long panniers would be in fashion, for particularly that reason most noble houses had their doorways widened to accommodate the pannier
Not to mention women, especially noblewomen, did not pick their skirts up to walk. The panniers underneath kept everything out of the way and off the floor.
And what was wrong with the back of that dress?!? The front looks kind of like a saque back, but the back is laced?
Exactly, no 18th century gowns closed at the back. ALL of them closed at the front because back closing gowns are an invention from the 19th century
Also only men wore wigs, women wore hair extensions and hair pieces but never a full-on wig
AND also, ankles were not yet scandalous in the 18th century and many paintings show ankles and women wore walking skirts which were above ankle length
Women did wear wigs. The amount of hair they would have lost from constantly teasing it to make it fuller. Not to mention the diseases at the time. Of course they wore wigs. They would have been powdered and probably full of fleas. Georgiana duchess of Devonshire in the 18th century wore many wigs. She was seen as the empress of fashion.
the really big grand panniers could not be folded to walk through door ways, so they just made the door ways wider lol
Did anyone actually believe these costumes were accurate in the first place?
I mean, there are people who really believe Vikings wore horns on their helmets. And considering there are 7.5 billion people on this planet I think it's pretty safe to assume someone out there believes this.
Lydia but the Vikings did where horns on their helmets
That One I haven’t seen a single one that thought they where accurate but the comments might just not be anywhere close to the top
Witches acctually just dress normally for any time period, usually wearing the most comfortable clothing to increase good and happy energies.
That's what I thought? They could've just pointed out how the stereotypes of witches weren't true. Or not have a witch involved at all Haha
I can vouch, we like coziness! I usually wear lots of loose flowing dresses made of comfy durable material. During winter its soft fuzzy things that make you feel warm and happy! On halloween I wear a hat from my grandmother though that much fits the steriotype, but I just like pointy hats lol.
Edit: for common folk its Halloween im aware my fellow witches celebrate Samhain.
If we're talking about medieval witches (which most witch costumes are these days), yeah, they won't wear anything that screams "I'm a witch", since that'll end up with a death penalty for being a witch.
Witches aren't real, they're fantasy creatures.
@@PunkZombie1300 witchcraft is a real thing and has been around for 100's of years.
The eye-patches of pirates? Actually proven to be something different:
Wearing the eye-patch does two things:
1) During the day, keeps you from being blinded by the reflection off of the water.
2) During dusk hours, you have an easier transition to night vision -- which is the same reason US Special Forces operators don't do anything in the hour preceeding dark, and an hour after darkness falls.

Yeah, pointed hats (hennins) were worn by noble women in the fifteenth century with veils. They weren't worn in the seventeenth century.

Anne bonney was a captain and still wore relatively the same thing. Pirates wore what was necessary because fancy clothes were expensive, you cant really go into town anymore after you get Anne Bonneys level of infamy and bounty, and salt water wrecks fabrics and soft metals.
@@theflerffyburr7919 well they did steal a lot of fancy clothes. Keep in mind that the image we have of pirates comes from when they came on land after they stole things. So naturally they'd dress like nobles by dressing as tacky and garishly as possible.
@@theflerffyburr7919 You're missing the point. Anne very often appeared bare-breasted, particularly in a fight to shock the enemy.
I think by "flaunting their feminity" they mean tight-fitting clothes, short skirts, and smaller, feminine weapons. Even if they did steal Noble clothes, those clothes would be just as, if not MORE covering than the traditional (accurate) pirate outfit.
Also, just a joke, but I'd be a little surprised too if a man ripped off their pants mid-fight to "flaunt their masculinity" 😂
2nd Das Reich I'm pretty sure Anne was the exception and not the rule
Ok but the classic witch hat WAS worn, I believe, just not by "witches" but rather female beer brewers.
I was so disappointed they only talked about pilgrims and American witch trials :/
@@mariamatedei Halloween's most popular in the States, so of course they'll talk about American witches and the Salem witch trial.
Also, they weren't as many European witch stories that reached popular status nor as much impact as the Salem witch trial.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 Yeah but Halloween has spread to other places outside of America. And they may not be as popularized but witch stories exist outside of the pilgrims. Like the caribbean has a lot of stories, but I wouldn't expect the history channel to acknowledge that.
Yes. Thank you. The classic image of a witch comes from brewsters. Right down to the broom and the cat. If they were gonna talk about it at all they should have mentioned that.
They’re not supposed to be historically accurate... they’re costumes.
Shrek ._.1 Today on History Channel- Historically Accurate Cat Costume
History Channel: "That's not historically accurate"
Also History Channel: "As many ancient-alien theorists believe..."
Inaccurate, You guys didn’t use white lead on your face. I’m disappointed.
