Witch hunters were people who claimed to be able to identify witches from marks on their bodies, supposedly left by the devil. They identified their victims as witches, helped to prosecute them at trial, and received a bounty for every person convicted.

The Middle Ages had relatively few witch trials, however, and witch hunts did not really happen commonly until after the Middle Ages (with its supposed superstition) ended and the Renaissance and Reformation (with their supposedly scientific and rational thinking) replaced them.
