In the 19th century, belief in witches was fueled by a combination of superstition, social unrest, and a lack of scientific understanding. Many communities faced economic hardships, disease, and social upheaval, leading people to seek explanations for their misfortunes, often attributing them to malevolent forces or witchcraft. Additionally, the influence of folklore, religious beliefs, and cultural narratives perpetuated the idea of witches as scapegoats for societal problems. This period also saw a revival of interest in the occult, further entrenching witch beliefs in popular culture.
