The European Witch Craze, also known as the Witch Hunts or the Witch Trials, was a period of intense persecution of individuals accused of witchcraft in Europe from the late 15th century to the 18th century.Thousands of people, primarily women, were accused, arrested, tried, and often executed as witches during this time. 

The witch hunts were rooted in the belief that certain individuals, known as witches, had made pacts with the devil or evil spirits. They were believed to possess supernatural powers, including the ability to harm others, fly, shape-shift, and cast spells. Witchcraft was seen as a grave threat to society and Christianity.
