In the 17th century, witch trials often involved a combination of legal procedures, public hysteria, and superstition. Accusations were frequently based on personal grievances, religious beliefs, and societal fears, leading to intense investigations. Common methods of trial included the use of "witch tests," such as the swimming test or pricking for witch marks, and confessions obtained under duress or torture. These trials often culminated in harsh sentences, including executions, fueled by the belief in the witches' supposed pact with the devil.
