17 of the Most Horrifying Torture Devices Ever Conceived (PART 2)
It’s really annoying when someone keeps flicking water at you, right?
Well now imagine that water being replaced with molten lead, and you
can imagine that it’s elevated from “annoying” to downright horrifying.
Designed specifically for women, because back in Medieval times dudes
really wanted to tell their ladies to just shut up, this mask would
lock the woman’s mouth shut while also piercing her tongue in order to
teach her to stop nagging or gossiping.
One of the most terrifying prospects for a man is to lose his, um,
manhood, and the Crocodile Shears were designed specifically for that,
as they were heated and used to rip the penis right off of the victim’s
body.
This would be strapped around the neck of the victim, with the sharp
prongs jammed under the jaw and into the clavicle area, making virtually
any movement of the head or mouth impossible unless you wanted to have
the underside of your jaw pierced.
Also known as a hanging cage, gibbeting was the basically putting a
living victim into a tight cage in public and, basically, just leaving
them there, incapable of moving or eating, until they died and became
food for the crows or vultures.
It’s uncomfortable enough to walk around with, say, a little rock in
your shoe, so imagine tight metal shoes designed specifically to jab
your heel with little spikes every time you take a step.
Let’s move from shoes to boots as we talk about something straight
out of the movie Misery, as this method of torture involved placing
blocks of wood between two planks of wood, with wedges being hammered to
tighten them, shattering the shins of the victim in the process.
The name pretty much says it all here, as this horrific device would
pin a victim’s head into what is basically a giant, skull shaped vice,
slowly crushing the head with each tightening twist of the screw.
