∙ 9y agoHere are the first three recorded people accused of witchcraft in the world. Bear in mind there were probably earlier accusations that were never recorded on paper or have had their records lost.
Angéle de la Babin. France.
The first person to be accused of and executed for witchcraft was Angéle de la Babin. She was born in 1230 and lived in France. She was accused of witchcraft and of having sexual relations with the devil, which was was found guilty of and executed by burning at the stake in 1275
Petronilla de Meath. Ireland.
Petronilla de Meath was the second recorded person. She was an Irishwoman who born in 1300 and was burnt to death in 1324 for witchcraft.
Stedelen. Switzerland.
Stedelen was the first recorded male witch and the third recorded person to be accused. He was apparently caught using black magic in his farm village. He confessed under torture to witchcraft and to summoning demons. He was executed by burning in around 1400.
Remember, there were probably earlier accusations and were probably more accusations in between the ones listed above. But records either do not exist or were lost.

How many people that used witchcraft were put to death at Salem?
Tituba - Reverend Parris' West Indian slave who entertained the girls in Parris' kitchen with stories of her native Caribbean. Tituba and the girls 'in the kitchen are generally credited with having started the hysteria. Tituba was among the first accused of witchcraft. She confessed and was imprisoned. Reverend Parris - minister of Salem Village. Tituba was his slave, and it was in his kitchen where the girls gathered. William Good - husband of Sarah. He testifies against her describing her as "an enemy to all that is good". She denounces him as a wizard. Dorcas Good - four year old daughter of Sarah. She also testifies against her mother claiming that her mother has three "familiars" - two yellow birds and one black. Sarah Osborne - along with Sarah Good and Tituba the first to be accused of witchcraft. During her trail, Sarah Good accuses Osborne of being a witch. Old and infirm to begin with, Osborne dies while imprisoned. Giles Corey - accused of witchcraft, he was pressed to death while refusing to enter a plea. By refusing to enter a plea he preserved his estate for his sons Judge Hathorne - one of the presiding judges of the witchcraft trials and an ancestor of Salem's famous author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Sarah Good was the daughter of a wealthy Wenham innkeeper, but her life had been a long downhill slide since her father's suicide from drowning. Her mother had quickly remarried in order to block the children's inheritance rights. Sarah married a landless man who hired himself out as a laborer. But even with a chronic labor shortage in the colony, individuals hesitated hiring her husband because that would mean taking Sarah into the household, and she was considered shrewish, idle, and slovenly. 

With matted grey hair and a leathered, lined face, Sarah Good looked seventy years old even though she was still of child bearing age. (In fact she was pregnant at the time of her arrest.) With her clay pipe, Sarah Good even looked the part of a witch. She didn't attend church, and recently she had been begging door-to-door and making a general nuisance of herself. 

Along with Tituba and Sarah Osburne, Sarah Good was among the first three women named as witches. All three were arrested on February 29th, 1692. A strong woman, Sarah nearly overpowered the sheriff who came to arrest her. During the initial questioning of the three women, Good accused Sarah Osburne of being a witch, and Tituba confessed to witchcraft. Tituba was released while Good and Osburne were sent to jail. Osburne, who was already ill, died in prison. Good's newborn child also died in prison. Good was joined in prison by her four year old daughter, Dorcas - even though Dorcas had testified against her mother. Dorcas was to remain mentally impaired for the rest of her life as a result of her imprisonment. Even Sarah Good's husband testified against her. 

On June 29th, along with five other women, Sarah Good was tried and convicted of witchcraft. She was hanged on Gallows hill on July l9th. Sarah Good remained defiant to the end. When Reverend Noyes urged her to confess and repent on the scaffold, she replied "I am no more witch than you are a wizard. If you take my life away, God will give you blood to drink." Years later when Reverend Noyes died of a hemorrhage in the mouth - in fact drinking his own blood - many in Salem remembered Sarah Good's curse. In fact Nathaniel Hawthorne, descendent of the hanging Judge Hathorne of the witch trials, borrowed this incident for the death of Judge Pyncheon in his famous novel, The House of the Seven Gables.
What happened on october 8 1692?
The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings before local magistrates followed by county court trials to prosecute people accused of witchcraft in Essex, Suffolk and Middlesex Counties of colonial Massachusetts, in 1692 and 1693. The hearings in 1692 were conducted in Salem Village, Ipswich, Andover and Salem Town, Massachusetts. The trials in 1692 were all held in Salem Town by the Court of Oyer and Terminer, with the Superior Court of Judicature hearing cases in 1693 in the individual county court seats: Salem Town, Ipswich, Boston, and Charlestown. Between February 1692 and May 1693, over 150 people were arrested and imprisoned, with even more accused who were not formally pursued by the authorities. The two courts convicted 29 people of the capital felony of witchcraft, 19 of whom (fourteen women, five men) were hanged. One other man, having refused to enter a plea, died under judicial torture to extract one from him, and at least five more of the accused died in prison. While not the first or only witch-hunt in New England or Europe, the sensational story of these particular individuals has secured its place in the cultural imagination of the United States of America. for complete text, go to ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_hunt
