Best Answer

They were burned on the stake, or they would be dunked in water. If they survived, the people would believe that they saved themselves and they would burn on a stake. If they drowned they would be found innocent. It wasn't much of a sensible way to catch witches, because if you were innocent, you would be dead anyway :(
