How did the allegations of witchcraft begin?

The allegations of witchcraft began in the early 17th century, particularly fueled by social, political, and religious tensions in Europe and colonial America. In many communities, fears of the unknown, such as disease, crop failures, and social unrest, were often attributed to witchcraft. The Salem witch trials of 1692 in Massachusetts exemplified this phenomenon, where a group of young girls accused several local women of witchcraft, leading to widespread panic and a series of trials. These accusations often stemmed from existing rivalries, superstition, and the desire for scapegoats in times of crisis.
