During the witch hunts and trials primarily in Europe and colonial America, various methods were employed to execute alleged witches. Commonly, they were hanged or burned at the stake, with hanging being the more prevalent method in some regions. In addition to these executions, torture devices like the rack or the strappado were used to extract confessions. In some cases, other forms of punishment included drowning or stoning.
