In reality I feel like medieval people would be a lot harder to scare. They have actually seen dead bodies and some pretty gory stuff.
Would just mean their horror stories would also be full of death and gore like the old version of fairy tales...
And in a world of magic and monsters where the ghost behind you in a dark room is an actual thing that could happen, no less.

Wrong, if Medieval ppl were truly not afraid of such mystical and terrifying things, then history like burning the witch and the history of Jeanne D'Arc would never have appeared.
You do know that the witch burnings were due to political reasons and that Joan of Arc was killed due to a religious reason right?

The people overseeing where doing it out of cruelty and greed, but the populace wholeheartedly supported it out of superstition and hatred.

Also, people are incredibly fucking gullible. We are in an era where you can access the truth at will with a digital device, yet all of the most prominent movements enabled by that digital device are all scams.

They didn't support it out of superstition but rather out of pure hatred because 90% of which accusations were poor people accusing rich people. The church officially declared multiple times that there wasn't such a thing as witches but when people find an excuse they can use to Lynch rich people that have exploited them they're going to use it.

Brother, there are people who will believe anything, and people who believe in stupid bullshit will eagerly do terrible shit on behalf on said bullshit.

Superstition is absolutely part of the equation. Get a mob to turn their brain off, and they'll do anything.

Now, the people running the hunts were more than happy to secure confessions against rich folks whose shit that they wanted to steal.

But it's almost always people who are at the fringes of society that are the first victims of this shit.

Like people nowadays then. Scary. It's still not many. But many of them don't have the courage to hold the torch to get an action. They're waiting the leader they can hide behind

Nah. They can get easily scared. But with just different method. Use the one they can't comprehend easily. Sure they used to see dead bodies and gory stuff, it's just because they can explain how that things happened. They would get scared about people living in the box (television), or a moving stone (a magnet).
