What happened to the witches?

[kılıç_mehmet]

I was curios as to what realization did people come to back in the witch hunting days that made them stop believing in witches? I know it had to have been a somewhat slow phase-out but the belief seems like it did end rather abruptly. I tried googling and I just couldn't find anything that discussed it. However, I was actually quite surprised how many people still believe this stuff based on my search results.

I was hoping to find something that will help the modern world wake up and grow up out of their fantasies.

I dunno, barbecue, maybe?
Here, they continue to thrive though, especially amongst cigany, lol.
