Torture Room

The Brass Bull is also called the Sicilian bull, and was first invented in ancient Greece, but it was also used in later periods. The bull, which was wrapped in metal with a door on the side, was inserted into the bull, with a fire burning underneath. The fire would heat the metal until it turned yellow, thus tormenting the person inside for a long time in slow and painful torture. The screams that came from the bull would pass through an acoustic form in the bull’s head, so that it sounded almost like a roaring bull. Finally, what was left of the victim’s bones would be used to make jewelry.

Skewering – Given its name, it would not be a stretch to guess that this was Vlad the Impaler’s favorite method of execution. In this method, the victim would be ‘asked’ (yes, asked) to sit on a very carefully sharpened pole, with only the weight of his body causing him to slide down. With this method, the tortured could remain alive for up to 3 days, and Vlad the Impaler is said to have once used this method on 20,000 people while he sat down to eat a meal and watched them.

The Infidel’s Fork is a fairly simple torture device, shaped like small pitchforks or forks with 2 prongs, one pointing down and one up, tied to the neck of the tortured. The tortured was tied or held in such a way that all he had to do was wait. During the long wait, every time he lowered his head, whether from fatigue or lack of strength, the device would cut his neck and chest until he died.

The Iron Maiden may not sound like a familiar name to you, but in English this torture device is called ‘Iron Maiden’, after the name of the popular heavy rock band. The device was a torture device designed for interrogation. The tortured person was placed into the device, which was decorated entirely with spikes and metal spikes, when he had no way of moving without being stabbed, and the interrogator would shout questions at him while continuing to hurt him until he bled.

The Stretching Board – at the end, they would tell him “Haha, we worked on you, you’re not going to be executed after all.” The tortured person’s hands were tied to the upper part and his feet to the lower part in a uniform and symmetrical manner, and then the ropes would slowly be stretched until his body was torn in two.

The Torture Chair was usually located in basements and dungeons. The chair was decorated with 500 to 1500 spikes in almost every possible place, and the tortured person would sit on it while tied. If that wasn’t enough, there was a place under the chair to insert coals or other heating material in order to speed up the tortured person’s confession or reveal the information desired during interrogation.

The Breaking Wheel – This is a long and torturous process in which the tortured person was tied to a large wooden wheel, unable to move, while the torturer would hit him with a large hammer all over his body, breaking organs and bones. Usually, the action of the hammer would not kill the person, and he and the wheel would be placed in a position or on a high pole to await his death in agony with his entire body broken. This method of torture was very difficult because it could take several days for the tortured person to die of dehydration or for birds of prey to find interest in the living prey. Sometimes, some torturers would show mercy to the tortured person and kill him with a crushing blow or several crushing blows to the chest in order to kill him permanently and end his suffering.
