A common misconception is that the witch trials were limited to North America. But they were extremely widespread...most prominently, actually, in Europe during and following the Reformation. Each side claimed the other was the work of the devil, asking their advocates to view them as WITCHES. Thus, much of this activity was committed. Additionally, anabaptists and other non-secular religious "heretics" were persecuted, tortured, executed, and, as an organization, destroyed during the 14th to 18th centuries.
The death toll due to the witch-hunts in Europe is hard to estimate; the various estimates varied from between one hundred thousand to two million.
It is very important to note, however, that burning at the stake was not commonly used in England, nor in its colonies. Those convicted of being witches in Salem, Massachusetts were hanged.
