Ramsele witch trial
The Ramsele witch trial, which took place in 1634, is one of the few known Swedish witch trials before the great witch mania of 1668–1676. 
In the year of 1634 a man and several women were put on trial in the city of Ramsele in Ångermanland in Norrland in Sweden. This was during a period of starvation, and they were accused of having stolen milk from their neighbors. 
The man was said to have stabbed a knife in a wall and, uttering "terrible prayers,"
witch-hunt' or a 'McCarthyite witch-hunt, In these cases, the word 'witch-hunt' is used as a metaphor to illustrate the brutal and ruthless way in which political opponents are denigrated and persecuted.
