What did witches do in the 1500-1600?

Witches were said to be able to speak with the devi, and with his help they could communicate with the dead. Some could see into the future. They could make people ill using spells and potions or even kill people. They could fly and make themselves invisible at will. They used animal such as cats or birds (familiars) as disguises for the evil spirits who served them. They could bring bad weather, such as storms or lightning, to affect ships and ruin crops. Basically, people blamed witches for anything that went wrong! Fact: In Scotland between 1590 and 1680, it is estimated that4400 'witches' were executed. Witch hunters (like Matthew Hopkins) used to look for signs showing if people were witches or not (if they saw an old woman with a pet cat or a familiar they may have accused them of being a witch). Many witch hunters didn't even believe in witches and just did the job for the money. Also, many people who were accused of witchcraft only admitted to being a witch to stop the torture.
