What were the ways that they killed witches?

Throughout history, methods used to execute accused witches included burning at the stake, hanging, drowning, and suffocation. Burning was often viewed as a means to purify the soul, while hanging was a more common method in some regions. Drowning was sometimes employed in a "swimming test," where a witch was submerged to see if they would float. These practices were often fueled by fear, superstition, and societal pressures rather than evidence of actual wrongdoing.
