Although the people of that era believed in witches, the witches in Macbeth were very probably not portrayed as frightening. The very silly scenes involving songs and the headwitch Hecate (which were likely not written by Shakespeare, but were written also in the Jacobean Era) make the witches sillier than the fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream, and although these scenes are never played nowadays, there is every reason to think that this was actually how the witches were played at first. This may have been the only way to get them onstage in a time when people would have been genuinely frightened of representations of real witches.
In the movie "Hocus Pocus," the three witches are played by Bette Midler (Winifred Sanderson), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson), and Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson).
Whether or not the audience believed in the existence of real witches, the witches in Macbeth are for entertainment. Nobody thought they were anything other than a group of actors. The witches may have originally been played for laughs, and certainly the addition of songs and dialogue and the character Hecate from Middleton's play The Witch made them very silly indeed.

King James VI of Scotland, who later became King James I of England, was connected to the campaign against witches and witchcraft through his publication of the book "Daemonologie" in 1597. In this work, James expressed his strong belief in witchcraft and outlined his support for the persecution and prosecution of witches. He also played a role in the North Berwick Witch Trials in Scotland, where he personally interrogated accused witches.
