Giles Corey was accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials primarily due to personal vendettas and land disputes. His refusal to enter a plea and his defiance of the court made him a target for accusations. Additionally, the intense hysteria surrounding the trials led to many innocent individuals being implicated to settle old scores or gain property. Ultimately, Corey was pressed to death for his resistance to the charges.
