What did Matthew Hopkins do when he found a witch?

Matthew Hopkins, known as the "Witchfinder General" during the English Civil War, employed brutal methods to identify and prosecute alleged witches. Upon finding a witch, he would often use torture, such as pressing and other forms of physical coercion, to extract confessions or names of other supposed witches. He believed he was carrying out a divine mission, leading to the execution of many accused individuals, often without solid evidence. His actions fueled a widespread witch-hunt, resulting in a significant number of deaths and a legacy of fear and superstition.
