Best Answer

witch trials were very stressful to those who were accused and the room that the trials were held in were full of angry people and the magistrates had to ask questions to prove the accused guilty and also there were witnesses that told of bad things the witch or wizard did and also some times there were afflicted people that claimed they were under a spell by the witch. The atmosphere was very solemn but at the same time full of rage
