None.

It's a myth that accused witches were burned at the stake in North America.

Of the 30 found guilty, 19 were executed by hanging.

Contrary to popular belief, none of the Salem women accused of being witches were burned at the stake. The convicted witches during the Salem witch trials were hanged, not burned.
