No body Knows for sure. I do not think it was Shakespeare because he write in the Iambic pentameter and this Scene is written in the Iambic tetrameter. Many people think it was Thomas Middleton since the songs the witches sing were afterwards published under his name.

What would be the reaction of the Jacobean audience when faced with the witches in Macbeth?
Although the people of that era believed in witches, the witches in Macbeth were very probably not portrayed as frightening. The very silly scenes involving songs and the headwitch Hecate (which were likely not written by Shakespeare, but were written also in the Jacobean Era) make the witches sillier than the fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream, and although these scenes are never played nowadays, there is every reason to think that this was actually how the witches were played at first. This may have been the only way to get them onstage in a time when people would have been genuinely frightened of representations of real witches.
What were the three witches predictions?
The three witches in Shakespeare's play Macbeth predict that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, and that Banquo's descendants will become kings.
