Witch Hunt

This page optimized for Internet Explorer
Our Awards Page

The following are all documented incidents in the killings of "witches."
ONLY incidents relating to witchcraft accusations have been included. Bear in mind that this is assuredly not all of them.
Some were guilty. Most were probably innocent and Christian. Some were "satanists," others were not. Some were just senile. Or too ugly. Or too pretty. Or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least one was subsequently made a Saint.
ALL on this list died as a direct result of a witchcraft accusation.

Note that this site does not judge nor condemn Christianity, or any other Faith, for the past misguided actions of a minority of its members. The idea of "permanent collective guilt" is stupid. We present this list as historical data ...... and as an object lesson in the ultimate results of intolerance, superstition and hate-mongering.
