No. The belief in witchcraft goes back centuries and thousands of years. The Celtic tribes had people they believed were witches and the Greeks had oracles foretell the future. The supernatural has always been part of man's history.

What were witches accused of in Medieval Times?

Medieval witches were not accused of much. Witches were accused of all sorts of mischief, but that was during the Renaissance, not in medieval times. In medieval times, there were laws against witchcraft in some places, but the laws of the Carolingian Empire and the Kingdom of the Lombards both made it clear that belief in witchcraft was unacceptably superstitious and so prosecuting people as witches was illegal.
