Matthew Hopkins, known as the "Witchfinder General" during the English Civil War, employed various methods to identify witches. He often relied on spectral evidence, accusing individuals based on claims that their spirits were seen harming others. Torture and coercion were also used to extract confessions, and he utilized physical examinations to search for "witch marks." His methods were controversial and led to the execution of many accused witches, often with little evidence.
