• Michelle Young, 46, of Burlington, Iowa, thought she was at a friend's house, but the friend didn't answer the door. So Young allegedly lit some items on fire on the front porch, KWQC-TV reported.
She told police she saw a sign on the porch that said "Witches Welcome," and she's a witch, so she set a fire -- but she wasn't going to hurt anyone or let the fire get out of control.
The homeowner, who identified Young from her surveillance camera, said she did not know her.
Young was charged with reckless use of fire and possession of drug paraphernalia.
