Witches' Sabbath
The accused were tortured to confess "maleficia" (harmful magic); flying; participating in a Witches' Sabbath (in Bamberg often called "witches' dance"); sexual intercourse with Satan or with a lower ranked male or female demon; and to have desecrated a sacred object. When the accused had confessed their own guilt, torture were applied to make them named their accomplices or other people they had see attending the Witches' Sabbath.
