about the interrogation of witches, methods of medieval torment in history and in our movies

torture on the spanish horse

Spanish Horse

The Spanish Horse was actually a large sharp wedge shaped wooden device upon which a woman was forced to struggle, one leg on each side. Usually the witch's weight was enough to cause great pain and discomfort. If the witch still did not confess her sins, some stone weights were suspended to her legs to increase the effect.

Suspension / Strappado

This method was simple but effective in causing pain. The witch was being suspended over a pulley with her arms tied behind her back. To enhance the effect, heavy weights were sometimes hung to the woman´s feet to cause more strain on her arms and shoulders.

Witch Chair

This kind of chair was developed especially for the long-time interrogation of witches. More than 2000 sharp bolts pierced into the body of the woman who had to sit on the chair for hours and sometimes even days! If this was not enough, the seat could be heated by red-hot coals from beneath. The witch chair which is used in our videos is an exact copy of the "Heckersche Stuhl"

Garrote

This medieval device is a variation which was not used for executions, but to hold and choke a witch during interrogation. The victim was locked in position absolutely helpless, so the hangmen could use other devices like pincers or a branding iron without being disturbed.

Screws and Pincers

These instruments were small, cheap but effective. Thumb screws often have been used as the first degree of torment and most of the accused women did confess just after a couple of minutes because this is extremely painful. Bigger screws were used at the victims breasts, also heavy pincers.
