There were over 160 people accused of being involved in witchcraft - 19 were hanged and 1 was pressed to death. Also, there were five accused that died in the Salem Village jail (there may be as many as 13 more people who died in the Salem but the sources don't match, so no one knows), and there was one man who was crushed to death by having large stones pressed on him.
