During colonial times, belief in witches was fueled by a combination of religious fervor, fear of the unknown, and societal tensions. Many communities were deeply religious and viewed witchcraft as a manifestation of evil, often linked to the devil. Additionally, economic hardships, social strife, and personal grievances led to scapegoating, where individuals, often women, were accused of witchcraft to explain misfortunes. This environment created a fertile ground for witch hunts and trials, as fear and superstition took hold in the populace.
