How were you found to be a witch in 17Th century England?
You were thought to be a witch if you were extremely secretive and lived on your own or if anything strange happened that may have been connected with you. If you were thought to be a witch, there were many types of punishment including hanging and burning (especially if case with treason). Also, to see if you were innocent or not, they would tie you hands together and throw you into a lake. If you floated, you were thought to be guilty, but if you drowned or started drowning, you were believed to be innocent, in which case you would try to be saved. However, many innocent people died when this method was used.
