Most were hanged. One accused was pressed (a board was laid on top of him and stones were placed on the board) because he refused to enter a plea. None were burnt at the stake.

You're thinking of Ruth Ginsburg. She got out somehow.
Hillary is the next generation...

Well, when I visited Salem MA in about 1990/91, there were. There was a witchcraft store near the historical museum.

Interesting thing, those who pled “guilty” were fined and given a prison term. All had their property confiscated by the local sheriff.
Those who pled “NOT GUILTY” were tried, convicted and hanged. Property confiscated.
Giles Corey refused to make a plea and was pressed to death. Because he did not make a plea, his property was not confiscated and his family survived intact.

The "ladies" on the View, for starters.
Of course, Hillary and Pelosi and Maxine Waters, and most of the democrat women in congress.

My 8th Great Grandmother Susanna (North) Martin was one of those executed in Salem. She was hung on 19 July 1692. If you read the trial transcript it's apparent that her real "crime" was talking back and not giving an inch to the bs.
Elderly women talking back is still a family trait even to this day. She was 67, which back then was elderly
I have female cousins who actually believe they are witches.

Who says the Puritans didn’t know how to have a good time?
Hanging a few witches. Party on!
Think of it as a late Halloween celebration for a humorless sect that refused to celebrate Christmas. No wonder Massachusetts has turned out like it has.

I’ve known several modern day “witches”.
At least they think they are. To the rest of us they look like suburban California chicks who are play-acting. Deal me some Tarot, baby.
You wanna find real witches, go to Marie Laveau’s House Of Voodoo down on Bourbon Street...
