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.
