Real witches like the Salem Witch Trial ones wore clothes that were considered ordinary. Fairytale witches were famous for wearing black cloaks and black hats.
The victims of the trials were hanged. However, Giles Corey was pressed to death under stones when he refused to enter a plea during his trial.
During the Salem witch trials, they didn't dunk the witches. That was a European thing. The Europeans believed that if you tied a supposed witch up and attached stones before putting them in the water. If they floated, the devil was holding them up and therefore they were a witch. If they sank, they were innocent and probably dead.
The Salem trials were held in the summer and early autumn of 1692. There were other witch trials in Massachusetts. For example, there were witch trials and hangings in Boston in 1656.

Its a contest between two. The trial of Rebbecca Nurse in which she was aqquitted, people repealed the verdict and was then proclaimed guilty. She was one of the accused who had a lot of doubt surrounding her case. The other would be the Reverand George Burroughs because he was a Puritan reverand that had worked in Salem Village and had been able to recite the Lord's Prayer, something witches supposedly couldn't do.

It simple. If they say what the people who are torturing them want to hear, the pain would stop.
