There were actually surprisingly few. In most European witch trials when it wasn't just a specfic one or two people being complained about, a couple hundred was the average death toll. The Salem panic put around 160 people in jail and only 20 were killed.
The Salem Witch Trials are known for all the false accusations and multiple deaths. A lot of the accusations were caused by young girls, like Abigail Williams, were false and they killed many people--men and women.
¡ 24 deaths total !
35 1/2 people survived the Salem witch trials, one guy was supposedly chopped in half but survived.
Witch trials had been going on during the previous centuries before the trials. There were many in Europe and the British Isles. There had been two in Connecticutt and three in Boston before Salem.
NONE! No one was actually a witch in the Salem trials. However, 6 men were executed. And I have to make the point that in Puritan lore, a male witch is a wizard, not a warlock.
