“Witchcraft in its generic sense is as old as human history. It has written its name in the oldest of human records. In all ages and among all peoples it has taken firm hold on the fears, convictions and consciences of men.”
Is there anyone who haven’t heard or read about witches and witchcraft? There are a lot of stories, books and legends written about the existence of witches. 
The best known witches and witch trials were in Connecticut and Salem.
In this book, the author gives an overview of the history of witchcraft and witch hunting. In the first chapters, the author talks about the beginnings of the witch persecutions in Europe, in the thirteenth century. Also, the author provides actual trial testimonies during trials and documents, which represent guides to discovering, accusing and examining witches.
Aside from examining the witches, here is also examined the role of the court and the roles of the court official, who was known as the “searcher”. Their duty was to examine the body of the person, usually a woman, and search for the Devil’s mark.
