The witch hunts gradually stopped due to a combination of factors, including the rise of Enlightenment thinking, which emphasized reason and scientific inquiry over superstition. Increased skepticism about the validity of witch trials and the injustices they often involved led to public outcry and legal reforms. Additionally, high-profile cases and the eventual discrediting of witchcraft accusations contributed to declining public support for such hunts. By the late 17th and early 18th centuries, many societies began to reject the notion of witchcraft as a legitimate concern.
