The data for this visualization was sourced from the comprehensive database created by economists Peter T. Leeson and Jake Russ in 2017. Their database encompasses over 10,000 witch trials that occurred in Europe over a span of 550 years. These trials involved accusations against more than 43,000 individuals, ultimately resulting in approximately 16,000 deaths.
