Interest in witchcraft and the persecution of those accused of being witches peaked during the late 15th to the 18th centuries, particularly during the European witch hunts. By the late 18th century and into the 19th century, with the rise of the Enlightenment and scientific reasoning, societal attitudes began to shift, leading to a decline in witch hunts and trials. As education and rational thought became more prevalent, belief in witchcraft diminished, and people largely stopped caring about witch accusations in a serious context. Today, while witchcraft may still hold cultural or spiritual significance for some, it is generally viewed through a lens of skepticism and historical interest rather than as a genuine societal concern.
Many of the people executed at Salem as witches did have childred. Some were also grandparents and great-grandparents. In general, those accused as witches were just normal, middle-aged people and normal middle-aged people back then had children and possibly grandchildren.
Puritans believed in witches because witches were mentioned in the Bible. They believed these creatures were in league with the Devil, and could masquerade as normal around people. People were very superstitious and gullible. They blamed witches for all the bad things that happened in life. As a result of these beliefs, the Salem Witch Trials occurred.
I wouldn't say that they were discovered so much as falsely accused. Witches are mythical (at least in the sense that you mean).most were discovered by towns people wrongfully accusing people because they did not like them but some tryed to prove a point that witches were not devil worshiper but they just ended up being killed
People back during the Salem Witch Trials became so paranoid that they thought anyone acting strangely were witches.
yes. people accused of being witches were burned at stake, sometimes, people thought that witches could take the form of cats, so if you saw a cat more then three times, and it was the same, the cat would be found and burned at stake.
stop caring about what people tell you and what people think and do what YOU want to do.

They stopped believing when they came to realise that there were no witches, that nobody can perform 'magic' or cast 'curses' upon others. People were beginning to understand science a lot more.
The same as anyone else. It depends on what ethnic origin that person is. Witches are regular people who simple respect and worship the Earth and all living creatures. Caring for nature does not change the color of one's skin.
People "stop caring" because...They are worried about something else.They are in a bad mood.They are too busy to worry about anything.Maybe you are over reacting.They are trying to make you feel bad.They feel you are not caring about them.They are not trying to "stop caring", you just think they are.I am sure they are not really trying to hurt you.Feel better soon.Wiki is here for you!
Just stop caring about it.
Stop caring
Why would you want to!
Witches were burned, because they could escape suffocation.
Probably witches.
they can't. caring for the oceans entails its creatures, and whales are part of them. whaling is awful and people should stop it.
witches don't exist but the people killed because people thought they were witches are Innocent in movies and films they are evil
