used to tell about witches
353

who would leave their own skin
at night to go haunting.
354

355
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,860

That was the one Mom used to tell.

No! Not at all.

371
00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:15,770
and actually, they're looking at giving me
my own show, so...
372
00:21:15,770 --> 00:21:17,520
- When does it air, Anna?
373

their faith is heresy,
and their wisdom is make-believe.
392

They called the American Indians savages.

Anything hair-related, really.
1390
01:17:33,770 --> 01:17:37,400
- Yeah, so, this one has a few
hair stories in it.
1391
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,730
It's mostly from American Indian tribes.
1392
01:17:39,740 --> 01:17:44,620
There are some tribes who believe that
a person's hair holds all their thoughts,
1393
01:17:44,620 --> 01:17:46,460
even after death.
1394
01:17:46,450 --> 01:17:49,290
The idea being that
one must have pure intentions,
1395
01:17:49,290 --> 01:17:52,290
so that enemies can't use
the hair they leave behind
1396
01:17:52,290 --> 01:17:53,580
for evil spells.

could somehow be related?
1399
01:18:00,260 --> 01:18:05,020
Like, uh, maybe the hair in the tree
was enchanted, or--
1400
01:18:05,010 --> 01:18:05,970
- I don't know.

1402
01:18:08,310 --> 01:18:11,480
- But didn't you say that
the native tribes of this land
1403
01:18:11,480 --> 01:18:14,320
and the ones brought here were wise
about things we've forgotten?
1404
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,820
Things we consider... magic?
1405
01:18:16,820 --> 01:18:19,870
- Sure. But the minute you start
supposing and what if-ing,
1406
01:18:19,860 --> 01:18:23,240
and now you've, you've, you've
stereotyped a whole group of people.
1407
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,530
- If there's something that
they were trying to warn us about,
1408
01:18:26,540 --> 01:18:28,920
or even, if there's something real, then--
1409
