This Ancient Greek torture device is considered to be one of the most dangerous devices.

This is nothing less than a nightmare.

  1. The Head Crusher

The name clearly indicates what exactly it was used for. Head crusher was a dangerous device used during medieval times. The chin was placed over the bottom bar and head exactly under the upper cap, the torturer would then turn the screw by pressing the bar against the cap.

The teeth’s and jaw bones were completely shattered.

  1. The Boots

In this method, iron boots would be placed upon the person (victim’s) legs and a wedge would be inserted between the legs and walls of the boots.

This is something that is horrible, completely horrible. No one deserves to go through such punishments ever.

In this device, it was used to slice or cut a human (as shown in the image) The torturers would start slicing a human in between the legs.

  1. Judas Cradle

This was a terrible medieval torture which was used on the victims. Firstly, a victim was placed on the top pyramid looking seat. All hands and legs were tied. Later, the triangular shaped end of the device was inserted into a victim’s vagina or anus.
