People accused of witchcraft often faced severe consequences, including imprisonment, torture, and execution, particularly during witch hunts in the 16th to 18th centuries. Many were subjected to unfair trials and could be convicted based on dubious evidence, such as spectral evidence or confessions obtained under duress. In some cases, individuals were executed by hanging or burning at the stake. The witch hunts eventually subsided as legal standards evolved and public opinion shifted, leading to greater skepticism about witchcraft accusations.
