Puritans believed that witches could be identified through various signs and behaviors, such as physical deformities, unusual animal companions, or a lack of conformity to societal norms. They often relied on spectral evidence, where accusers claimed to see the spirit or specter of the accused engaging in witchcraft. Additionally, confessions obtained under duress or through torture were highly regarded as evidence of witchcraft. This intense scrutiny often led to widespread paranoia and tragic consequences during events like the Salem witch trials.
