We've probably all heard of the Salem witch trials, but prior to the afflicted hurling accusations at local townsfolk, there was a much larger witch hunt. The “Great Hunt” was a larger, more prolonged European phenomenon between 1560 and 1630 that led to 80,000 accusations and 40,000 deaths. Reasons for accusing a person of witchcraft varied, but more likely than not, few actual witches were tried and killed.
