There are witch hunts in part of Sub-Saharan Africa. India is another place that still practices witch hunts. In 2010, India had an 150 and 200 women killed during witch hunts.

yes!

it began when people would accuse others that they really hated and thought that they were acting evil and witch.

They were not. It was superstition and stupidity that led to ridiculous beliefs. Much is the same today with belief in such nonsense as werewolves, vampires and astrology

Extremly unfair, I done the Salem witch trials in English last year, and they tested for witches mainly due to what people said. If you had an enemy, and said, yeah shes a witch, i saw her spirit come into my room last night, they wouldn't take the opinion from the person, they had to either admit to being a witch or not.

If they pleaded guilty, they lived, and were purified by the church, and if they pleaded innocent (truthful or not) they were excecuted.

I know that at some point they also dunk them into water, and if they survived, they were a witch, if not, they werent. Its all completely unfair and cruel what they did >.<

The people back then were afraid of what they didn't know, as we are now. So when someone said someone else was a witch, it brought fear to everyone, and they all wanted to get rid of the thing that brougt them fear. And it was men and children to, not just women.
