Because people were very religious in those times and people in 16 century thought they worked for the THE DEVIL
Another Answer:
Way back when witches and witchcraft werent an accepted religion, people believed in witches and the Devil because they were convenient scape goats that everyone believed. You murdered someone? A witch cast her spell on me and made me do it! The well water is poisoned? A witch did it! Your child is sick? A witch did it! An entire village decimated? A witch must have murdered them all and ate the babies and sacrificed the men and women to the Devil! Dont mind that the murderer is a sick person and the well was poisoned because people put foul things in there and the kid is sick because no one had an understanding of bacteria and diseases and the village was wiped out because they urinate in the same place they take water to drink and dont know about hygiene.
The Christians believed because they wanted another thing of evil to blame all their problems on.
