How did they kill Salem witches?

Answer 1

They usually hung, burnt, drowned, or cut them to death.

EDIT:

At Salem, they only hung the convicted witches. Burning was a Continental European punishment. Drowning was part of the water test and if you drowned you were innocent. And "cut" I can only explain as beheading. The only person accused of witchcraft to be beheaded was Anne Bolynn, and that was because she was convicted of treason.

Answer 2

During the Salem Trials, witches were hung because in Puritan America, witchcraft was a felony and a felony was punished by hanging.

Answer 3

First, none of the accused in Salem were actually witches. Second, the convicted were hanged.

Answer 4

There were no witches killed. 19 Christians were hanged, because they would not falsely confess to witchcraft.

Answer 5

they hanged them! and one person was pressed to death by rocks.
