During the Salem Witch Trials, people would look for anything out of the ordinary to accuse someone of witchcraft.

Who accused Joan of Arc of witchcraft?
The courts wanted to accuse her of witchcraft but couldn't. So they tried her for heresy instead.Joan of Arc was convicted of heresy because the English and Burgundians wanted her dead. She had been remarkably successful in leading the French troops. They did not want her to escape (she'd made several attempts) and lead the French in more successful campaigns. Also, her death would severely demoralize the French troops.The trial and conviction of heresy were orchestrated so that Joan could be burned at the stake.***She claimed to see, hear, and gain direction from the Archangel Michael as well as the (deceased) Sts. Catherine and Margaret. She also successfully foretold certain military events.See the related link listed below for more information:

Why did puritans believe that some people were witches?
Well, simply put, A Puritan use to be part of a Catholic Church but had different opinions and wanted a reformation. Some stayed and reformed the church from within. Others, Independents, Separatists, wanted to start a new one by themselves! They are much close or if not is, a pilgrim. As pilgrims are just people that travel due to religious causes. Puritans also try to find a strict, theocracy community. One of such would be Salem, where hysteria and paranoia on witchcraft was then taken greatly. Puritans believe either that you are with God or against God (aka. with the Devil). Those who help the devil, and perform spells and charms are witches. It wasn't really invented but it was something that the Puritans felt strong against. As due to the 19 death via accusing of witchcraft by August 1692, it was mainly due to random accusations. Witchcraft can show no witness, you can be attacked by a ghost sent by a person, and the only thing you can do is, accuse him/her. As of such, it's even harder to prove your innocence, since even if you were elsewhere, you would've send a spirit instead of your physical body.
