9. THE HEAD CRUSHER

Types of head crushers are still used in certain nations today and a WW2 variety was used when the Nazis interrogated spies and members of the Resistance. The victim's head was placed in the cap and the torturer would slowly crank the spikes into their head, often until their skull and jaw were crushed together.

8. THE BREAST RIPPER

These pliers were heated and then attached to a woman's breast in order to rip it off.

7. THE CROCODILE TUBE

The victim's head and an arm or leg were placed in the tube that was then heated up by the executioner. Victims would slowly burn and the spikes would penetrate their flesh. Death was inevitable.

6. BEING QUARTERED

Similar to the rack, this involved attaching the victim to a wooden machine that would slowly tear off each limb. Earlier varieties of this horrific death sentence involved attaching the arms and legs to four horses, which were then whipped so they'd run off in different directions, quartering the victim in the process.

5. CROCODILE SHEARS

Crocodile shears were reserved for men. These spiked-tooth iron shears were heated and applied to the penis, which would then either be skinned or torn off..

4. THE JUDAS CRADLE

A favourite during the Spanish Inquisition, victims were suspended by a harness on top of a metal pyramid. As the victim was lowered onto the pyramid, it would stretch their orifice until it was ripped apart. Torturers would deliberately leave victims to suffer overnight if they didn't at first confess.

3. THE WATER CURE

Far from being a cure, this method ensured a long, painful death. Victims were forced to lie down and drink gallons of water in one go. Drinking huge amounts of water can cause internal hemorrhaging, severely damage blood cells and even lead to kidney failure.

2.THE SPANISH DONKEY

Here, the victim was made to sit in a triangular block, whilst weights were attached to their ankles. If they managed to survive this unbelievably painful torture, they often came away severely disabled and unable to walk due to damage caused by the weights ripping their joints apart.

Torture (derived from the Latin word ''tortus'' meaning "twisted" is the act of deliberately inflicting physical or psychological pain in order to fulfill some desire of the torturer or compel some action from the victim. Torture, by definition, is a knowing and intentional act; deeds which unknowingly or negligently inflict pain without a specific intent to do so are not typically considered torture.

Torture has been carried out or sanctioned by individuals, groups, and states throughout history from ancient times to modern day, and forms of torture can vary greatly in duration from only a few minutes to several days or longer. Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, coercion of the victim or a third party, interrogation to extract information or a confession irrespective of whether it is false, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture.

Alternatively, some forms of torture are designed to inflict psychological pain or leave as little physical injury or evidence as possible while achieving the same psychological devastation. The torturer may or may not kill or injure the victim, but torture may result in a deliberate death and serves as a form of capital punishment. Depending on the aim, even a form of torture that is intentionally fatal may be prolonged to allow the victim to suffer as long as possible (such as half-hanging). In other cases, the torturer may be indifferent to the condition of the victim.

Although torture is sanctioned by some states, it is prohibited under international law and the domestic laws of most countries.

Described below are 13 of the most brutal torture techniques ever in history.


1. THE IRON CHAIR

This chair was utilized to compel admissions out of its casualties. However, don’t feel this is the same as somebody strolling over or taking a seat on a bed of nails! Casualties were lashed onto the chair and the straps would be continuously fixed. In the event that the casualty didn’t admit, at that point the iron chair’s fire apparatus would be lit so as to soften and roast their substance – and enable the spikes to all the more effectively enter their skin.

I think any ritualist that is caught in the act or with human parts should also be visited with the same fate that their victims went through.
