    I’ve been in the torture museum in California and it was incredible. They have the devices there and you don’t really know what they are but you start reading the description and it makes your stomach turn!

    Basically, if you were accused of being a witch you were dead one way or another. In the case of the dunking, if you drowned you were innocent; if you didn't you were either tortured to death or hung (at least here in the states) or burned at the stake in Europe. A definite no win situation.

    • @FrenkTheJoy

      Nah the punishment for witchcraft was strangulation in Europe as well (usually hanging). At some point it actually became a crime to accuse people of witchcraft, because in certain religious beliefs it's not possible to even BE a witch, so accusing someone of being a witch means you believed it was possible, which meant you were guilty of heresy, the punishment for which was being burnt at the stake. There's also a number of accused witches who were acquitted, including Henry VIII's great-grandmother Jacquetta of Luxembourg.

      Well over 50% of the accused witches in England were acquitted. There is some appalling misinformation out there even in some scholarly publications. Many witches were simply of the wrong Christianity, ie Protestant when the Catholics were in and vice versa. It is a fascinating and incredibly sad history but please be aware of the misinformation, sensationalism and just outrageous claims that detract from the poor men and women who were jailed or tortured but very rarely killed as witches.

      Believe it or not, more than a few torturers were employed as executioners and it was a job that paid (not that well). They got up in the morning, ate breakfast, kissed their wives and children goodbye, and went to work. At the end of the day, they came home, ate dinner, went to bed, and did the same thing the next morning. Please don't get me wrong, I am not playing Devil's advocate, just stating how it was done. I have been studying Torture for years in an effort understand Man's inhumanity toward a fellow Human Being. I DO NOT condone torture in any form. I posted this response to foster intelligent conversation and to see how many others out there are willing to take me up on it.

    Whenever I remember this part of history I'm also reminded of how lucky I am to be born nowadays, when quite a few of these instruments have been transformed and are now used for cure or to make life easier instead of simply inflicting pain. One example is the mouth pear, the ancestor of the gynecological speculum which even though it may be a little uncomfortable, is essencial to prevent deadly diseases like cervical cancer by catching and treating lesions early.

      That's why it was never Jesus intention for it to be about religion. He hates religion. It was the religious ppl who killed him.
      Many ppl use religion to do things .
      But it's free will it's nothing to do with God.
      We're born into evil.
      It's about free will and those ppl that do use God's name need Jesus just like anyone .
      Their just really lost and they don't know Jesus so they don't know the truth.
      Some people just are really ill and mentally sick and they can be set free with Jesus and by therapy.
      Jesus died for them too but they need him and need to accept him .
      There's evil all around us .
      But ppl that have a religious spirit have that issue and they need to be set free from that spirit.

      the church ? well you wont get me near it. filled with dishonest and pathetic stories to keep the naiive and silly. it divides people. it makes people uncomfortable about sex and makes damning judgement. the original creator of sin

    Remember, folks. If you think living in today’s society is bad, think about all the poor people who went through all of this awful things.
    There are also other times in humanity that are WAYYY worse than today. I’d say I’m glad I live in this century.

    Do you have to be 18 or over to enter this museum? It's weird living in a society where sex education is more controversial than torture.

      This is history. History is always important. Confusing kids about their gender is not.

    Excellent video as always! Definitely cheered me up whilst isolating 😍 we have similar museums here in the UK, the York Dungeons is not too far from where I live and it’s absolutely fantastic, so much history in that city!

    That Torture device reminds me of Edgar Allen’s Poe short story called the Pit and the Pendulum and it’s about the torments endured by a prisoner in the Spanish Inquisition and the narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured
