It was mentioned once or twice during the series that some witch scares and trials were the result of kehrseite panic over wesen being seen woging. They were just side remarks with no detail, but nothing was said about all the victims being wesen. I have a hard time seeing the wesen population of some hamlet waiting quietly to see which of them would be targeted by the witch hunters and just letting themselves be taken, as opposed to either running for the hills or fighting back, so my guess is that the vast majority of the victims of these panics were kehrseites. Which leads me to conclude that the trials were most likely what happened when a grimm did not show up to rid the town of its supposed satanic villain.
