Summary
“Witch swimming was the practice of tying up and dunking the accused into a body of water to determine whether they sink or float. Sinking to the bottom indicated that the accused was innocent while floating indicated a guilty verdict. (Kittredge, p. 232.) The premise of the ordeal was that the trial provoked God’s direct intervention in determining the guilt or innocence of the accused.” - Nathan Dorn in his post Swimming a Witch: Evidence in 17th-century English Witchcraft Trials
