The big black cape!
When I was about 9, my mum who I thnk kind of fancied herself as a bit of a boho... took to wearing an ankle length black cape. She wasn't... but could nowadays be construed as being a bit "Goth" maybe?

I thought she looked like a witch in my young mind!" Which made for One very funny incident.
One day out walking with my mum, a couple of young lads (12/13-ish) wandered past and one called out.... "Oi witchy!" Without blinking she stopped, fixed them with a truly evil glare, slowly raised an arm and pointed a bony white finger at them, and babbled a load of utter bollocks that sounded like a curse in old english! The grins departed their faces and they were frozen to the spot. As soon as my mum turned to walk away(menacingly!) they ran for it like they had broomsticks shoved up their arses!

She also had a penchant for throwing wine(usually red) over men at parties? If she did it once she did it 5 or 6 times when I was a kid!
