Torture devices are not something we like to think about on a day to day basis. We are lucky to live in a society where we are not punished unthinkably severely for minor or ridiculous crimes. Here are five cringe worth torture devices, for your information…
1. A breast ripper was used to rip the breast from a woman and was made out of heated iron.
2. Heretic’s fork was used on liars and was placed between the breast bone and throat.
3. The choke pear was used to gag or internally torture victims.
4.The brazen bull was one of many torture devices used to roast criminals to death.
5. There are many variations of the iron chair, some involving spikes and some involving excruciating heat.
Let’s all take a moment to be grateful that these torture devices are not commission anymore. As far as we know…
