The witchcraft trials in Western Europe, known as the witch hunts or the witch craze, were a series of prosecutions and executions of individuals, mostly women, accused of practicing witchcraft from the 15th to the 18th century. These trials were characterized by a widespread belief in the existence of witches and a fear of their alleged supernatural powers. The witch hunts were fueled by religious and social anxieties, leading to a mass hysteria that resulted in the imprisonment, torture, and execution of thousands of innocent people. The witch hunts were primarily conducted by church and state authorities, with the support and encouragement of religious leaders. The accused witches were believed to have made a pact with the devil and to possess the ability to perform malevolent acts, such as causing harm to crops, livestock, and humans through spells and curses. The trials often involved the use of torture to extract confessions and the reliance on dubious evidence, such as the testimony of alleged witches and spectral evidence.

The trials often involved the use of torture to extract confessions and the reliance on dubious evidence, such as the testimony of alleged witches and spectral evidence. Women were disproportionately targeted in the witch hunts, with estimates suggesting that between 75% and 85% of those accused and executed were female. This can be attributed, in part, to the prevailing belief that women were more susceptible to the influences of evil and more likely to practice witchcraft.

A man attempting suicide is really a diversion for a jewelry heist.

The accused witches were often those who were seen as deviating from societal norms, such as widows, single women, or those who had conflicts with their neighbors. The witch hunts had devastating consequences for the accused and their communities. Many innocent people lost their lives and families were torn apart. The trials also contributed to an environment of fear and suspicion, leading to the breakdown of social bonds and the erosion of trust within communities. In the late 17th century, attitudes towards witchcraft began to shift, and skepticism towards the existence of witches and their powers began to grow. This, along with the Enlightenment and the rise of science and rational thought, eventually led to the decline of the witch hunts. The last major witchcraft trial in Western Europe took place in 1718 in Estonia. The witch hunts remain a haunting reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria, religious fanaticism, and the abuse of power. They serve as a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked fear and paranoia, and the importance of critical thinking and the protection of individual rights in the face of societal pressures..
