No witches were hanged in Salem, only Puritans accused of witchcraft.
The infamous Salem Witch Trails (in colonial Massachusetts) were held between February 1692 and May 1693, and were not one single event.
It is recorded that as a result of the hearings, 20 people (both men and women) were put to death, 19 by hanging and one being crushed by a large boulder (no one was burned at the stake). In total 28 people were condemned to death, with 8 being reprieved or having their sentences commuted.
