I was just listening to the QAA podcast episode about witch hunts in the middle ages, and those women literally all died because some random neighbor’s cow stopped producing good enough milk.
Reading about the legal procedures in the salem witch trials is crazy. Most of the evidence was “spectral”, basically people claiming to have seen the ghostly form of the accused. The main legal debate wasn’t if witches existed, they obviously did, but if the devil could take the form of someone without their permission.
