Do you think witchcraft really existed?

I read about burning girls and women for witchcraft but find it hard to believe it was real.

@Cinderellagirl🤔not sure i am a little sceptical in the time of matthew hopkins the then witchfinder general many woman and girls where probably convicted on flimsy evidence of this crime through fear and ignorance

The reality is that, at least in the U.S., they were hanged and not burned. Not that it makes much difference.But as far witchcraft being real? I think you probably know the answer to that.

it unfortunately existed, look up a figure called matthew hopkins 'witchfinder general'.
It existed in that there were people who believed they were practicing witchcraft. It's basically a religion like any other. But the people who were burned or hung for witchcraft usually weren't witches, they were just random people accused of heresy.

Many were executed, yes, but in England at least were hanged rather than burned at the stake. It was still a slow, very painful death, but nothing like as nasty as burning.
