They would tie them up and throw them into water!. If they didn't float they were not a witch!.

They would prick them with a needle!. If they bleed, they were innocent!.

They would also be put on a scale and and weighed against 2 huge bibles and if they were heavier they were innocent!.

Probably the most absurd, they would be pushed under water and if they didn't drown, they were a witch because water rejects evil and if they did drown they were innocent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.Read the history of the Spanish Inquistion!.This was at a time when all of Europe was Catholic!.All thier (inquistion) trials and tortures were based on heresy,witchcraft and not being a true believer!.For almost four centuries this evil was practiced!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
