Do you think witchcraft really existed?

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

@smiler2012 Matthew Hopkiuns was no "Witchfinder General" in any official way. There was no such post.

Hopkins titled himself thus in a sort of one-man crusade, and operated only over a relatively small area of England.
