Belief in witches was influenced by superstition, fear, and ignorance. People believed that witches had supernatural powers to cause harm and misfortune, and they were often scapegoated for unexplainable events or misfortunes in the community. This belief was also perpetuated by the Church and legal authorities, leading to widespread witch hunts and trials.
