Answer:

Spectral evidence

Explanation:

A "belief in the power of the accused to use their invisible shapes or spectres to torture their victims" is known as "spectral evidence"

In the 17th Century in England, those that were accused of witchcraft were prosecuted and hanged to death in Salem in a "witchcraft" court (Court of Oyer and Terminer). But a time came when Governor William Phipps dissolved and replaced the court. At this time, spectral evidence was not allowed again.

Spectral evidence was used in the Court of Oyer and Terminer (during Salem Witch Trials). It is a belief that power rests on the accused to use their invisible shapes or spectres to torture their victims. The witness testifies at the court that the accused person's shape or spectre appeared to that witness in order to torture him/her.

Gennadij [26K]

Situations that are contrary to fact, the mood is the conditional: third type. Example: If she had got up early, she would not have missed the bus. This example illustrates an imaginary situation; it did not happen. What truly happened was that the woman got up late and missed the bus. This was the fact. The structure is : the condition introduced by "if" carries the Past Perfect and the imaginary result carries would + perfect infinitive.

Conditions under which a situation might occur, the mood is the conditional: second type. Example: If she bought an alarm clock, she would get up on time.

What would the result be? She would get up on time. This is the conditional mood , second type.
