What actions considered to be witchcraft at the Salem Witch Trials?

Answer 1

Witchcraft had many supposed "abilities." A witch could send their spirits out to torment people without moving their physical body. (the afflicted claimed to be able to see those) They could use those spirits to physically harm people in a realitively normal ways, like pinching and choking. A witch could also somehow use her own motions to control the body of their victims much like a puppet. Add all thre usually things like talking to animals and controling the weather, you have what the Puritans called a witch.
