Well, hang on - there weren't any people who could literally turn you into a toad, but I'm sure there were as many witches (people who believed in that stuff) then as there are now.

There weren't any witches the way witches were defined back then, which was people who entered into pacts with the devil to gain satanic powers to wage war against Christianity and undermine the community. It was a conspiracy theory not unlike the satanic panic of the 1980s or the red scare.
