During the 1500s to 1600s, people often dealt with suspected witches through accusations, trials, and harsh punishments, including execution. Witch hunts were fueled by superstition, fear of the unknown, and societal anxieties, leading to widespread paranoia. Trials typically involved dubious evidence, such as confessions obtained under torture or the testimony of supposed witnesses. The most infamous of these events occurred during the European witch hunts and the Salem witch trials in colonial America, where many were executed based on flimsy evidence and societal pressure.
