Well, simply put, A Puritan use to be part of a Catholic Church but had different opinions and wanted a reformation. Some stayed and reformed the church from within. Others, Independents, Separatists, wanted to start a new one by themselves! They are much close or if not is, a pilgrim. As pilgrims are just people that travel due to religious causes. Puritans also try to find a strict, theocracy community. One of such would be Salem, where hysteria and paranoia on witchcraft was then taken greatly. Puritans believe either that you are with God or against God (aka. with the Devil). Those who help the devil, and perform spells and charms are witches. It wasn't really invented but it was something that the Puritans felt strong against. As due to the 19 death via accusing of witchcraft by August 1692, it was mainly due to random accusations. Witchcraft can show no witness, you can be attacked by a ghost sent by a person, and the only thing you can do is, accuse him/her. As of such, it's even harder to prove your innocence, since even if you were elsewhere, you would've send a spirit instead of your physical body.
