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.
This site tells a lot about the Witch trials, the people who died, and where they lived:

∙ 12y agoTwenty people were hung because accused of witchcraft. Thirteen people died in prison including an infant. Also one man who is unknown at eighty years old was pressed with stones to death. He was ordered to lay and they piled rocks on top of him until he could not take it anymore. Sadly he died.
EDIT:
We only have proof of 4 who died in jail. The other seven have no records of leaving, so we don't know their fate. The man who was pressed to death for refusing to make a plea in court was named Giles Corey.

People, mainly the poor, were accusing others, mainly the rich, of witchcraft activities. There was little way the victims could prove their innocence and were hung for no reason. This is an example of scapegoating where one accuses another because, in colonial society, there was no outlet for emotions so they expressed their emotions through anger, vengeance and so on.
