Best Answer

A modern day witch hunt refers to people getting all excited and getting together to search for problems or crimes where none exists. They turn a misunderstanding or something innocent into a big deal and convince themselves and others that something really terrible has happened. This is a reference to the time in colonial America where someone could be accused of being a witch and be killed for perfectly innocent or natural and normal acts.
