Notes -
I watched a movie recently, (spoilering the name because just being mentionned in this conversation kind of spoils the "twist")The Autopsy of Jane Doe , where the evil ghost/spirit that attacks our main characters is a woman that was burned at the Salem witch trials who was NOT a witch, but became one in death as revenge on the mean people who murdered her.
That kind of neatly gets around using the known event/period people strongly associate with witches in a horror movie while still acknowledging that it's mostly known for being a moral panic that was used to murder innocents.
Autopsy of Jane Doe also doesn't claim to be based on accounts that claim to be real. Also, buried alive, not burned.
But yes, the-bigots-created-the-monster is another variation. Or the "witch" does actually have magic powers or is psychic or whatever, but there's no connection to "satanism", which is ultimately Christian fanfiction.
