The village was scared of the witches and the curse spreading, so they began going through the process, and started to execute the people that were cursed and accused of being witches. They thought they had no other choice to stop the spreading other than executing the people cursed with the spell. People who didn’t like other would accuse them of being witches so they would have to go through the trials and they could be put to death or put in jail. More than two hundred people were accused. Twenty people were hanged, four were burned at stake, and one was tortured to death. They would accuse people who did not follow the strict Puritan law the way they should. The puritans committed many brutal punishments but one stuck out from the others.
