What was the method of execution for convicted witches in the Salem witch trials?
the accusers would strip the man or woman and observe their body, looking for any unusual mole or freckle. This could be enough to make you a witch. Also, they would strip the man or woman, tie them up, and throw them in a body of water. If you sank, you weren't a witch, if you floated you were a witch. Either way, you were doomed. EDIT: Great explanation. It would be perfect if the question was about European witch hunts and witch tests. During the Salem Witch Trials, the convicted "witches" were hanged.

Who was the religious group involved in the Salem witch trial?
The Christian Religion is the most infamous of the Witch Hunters, there certainly were others as well, but Christians were still burning women, children, and men, as few as a couple hundred years ago, and many Christian Zealots, who have murdered their own Children in the last few years, used such excuses as, the children were possessed by this or that, and Jesus told me to Kill them. Of Course if you're looking for the Main Sect Responsible, you must look to the Catholic Church.
