There were people who ferreted out witches professionally, and were paid for each one they found. They could tell witches by examining them and finding warts, spots, and so on, on their bodies. Clearly this made it profitable to find as many as possible, and a great many people suffered as a result. But this really did not happen anywhere nearly as much during the Middle Ages as it did during the time of the Renaissance and the Reformation, when such people had books they could refer to as authorities showing they were right.
