How were witches caught in the 1600?

In the 1600s, witches were often caught through a combination of accusations, superstition, and dubious trials. Community members would accuse individuals, typically women, of witchcraft based on personal grievances, societal fears, or unusual events, such as crop failures or illness. Torture and sensational methods, such as the "witch test," were used to extract confessions or evidence. Trials were often public spectacles, and the presumption of guilt was common, leading to many wrongful convictions.
