We can’t help but think of dungeons and brutal torture devices when we think of the medieval era.
The iron maiden was one of these devices—or was it? Most historians today believe the iron maiden to be a myth, readily accepted as the truth based on the belief that our medieval ancestors were a bloodthirsty and ruthless breed.
The iron maiden was a human-shaped iron sarcophagus lined with spikes that would impale its victims when closed, leading to a slow and excruciating death. After being forced into the device, the spikes would pierce the victim in several, yet non-fatal, places over the body, and the unfortunate victim would slowly bleed out.
There are no medieval texts that mention this mode of torture; indeed, the first mention of the iron maiden appears in historical texts from the 1800s.
Although there are one or two references in antiquity to similar devices, the Spartan tyrant Nabis is said to have used something similar for torture, and the Abbasid vizier Ibn al-Zayyat reprotedly created a "wooden oven-like chest that had iron spikes", which he ironically would fall victim to.
All of the iron maidens that exist today were made in the 19th century or are later reproductions of lost 19th-century iron maidens.
It is thought that the tales of the iron maiden were inspired by a real device known as Schandmantel, or “cloak of shame,” which was made of wood and metal but without spikes. It was used mostly as a punishment for poachers and prostitutes.
Despite pretty much being debunked the iron maiden is still a constant feature of films based in the era that have scenes of torture or punishment.

Man beat and stripped cheating wife fully naked – As neighbours stood to watch (See Photos)
Man beat and stripped cheating wife fully naked – As neighbours stood to watch (See Photos) Man beat and stripped cheating wife – Just saw a gruesome video online that broke my heart. Men… and even women stood and watched as this man stripped his wife to her underwear and brutally beat her with a plank. The people who posted the video online said he beat her to death, but that isn’t shown in the video. The last seconds of the video shows the man dragging the very weak woman away. They said the man attacked his wife after catching her with another man. And no, it didn’t happen in Nigeria. I screen-grabbed from the video.

When Dennis Rader murdered a family of four in cold blood, he made the children watch as he strangled their parents. Then, he took the 11-year-old girl to the basement where he removed her underwear and hung her from a sewer pipe.

De Loys's ape
Louis François Fernand Hector de Loys ( 1892–1935 ) was a Swiss oil geologist. He is remembered today for the claim that he discovered a previously unknown primate, De Loys's ape, during a 1920 oil survey expedition in Venezuela. The identity of the animal he photographed has long been established with considerable confidence to be a spider monkey, and the identification as a new species is generally regarded as a hoax. De Loys's ape Between 1917–1920 , de Loys and his men were searching for oil around the River Tarra and Río Catatumbo at the Venezuela–Colombia border in South America (Bernard Heuvelmans, 1959). This mountainous region, the Sierra de Perijaa, was heavily forested, and that time was inhabited by the 'dangerous' Motilone Indians. One day, while de Loys and his crew were resting near the Tarra River deep in the jungle, two monkeys suddenly stepped out of the woods, screaming and shaking branches. They were holding onto bushes, walked upright, then broke of...
A brutal reminder of how extreme the Japanese Imperial Army was
A Japanese officer beheads a Chinese prisoner. Second-Sino Japanese War, 1937-1945. A brutal reminder of how extreme the Japanese Imperial Army was The Imperial Japanese Army and Navy (which I want to stress were disbanded and no longer exist) were one of the most evil organizations in human history. I remain convinced the Empire of Japan is the most evil regime in human history and worse than Nazi Germany in terms of pure cruelty. Their atrocities just aren't talk about much anymore because Japan is so well liked now in the West. The indiscriminate massacre of civilians. Slaughter of entire cities, torture, inhumane treatment of POWs, countless women forced into sexual slavery, among others. Over their conquest of East Asia, the Japanese Army forced around 200,000 women into the ranks of 'comfort women". These women mainly came from China, Korea, and the Philippines. This is the only thing l could not find a source for, but I distinctly remember reading the firsthand acco...

Shortly before being executed for the murder of Deputy John Murphy, Dennis Dilda was granted the opportunity to pose for a photograph with his wife and two children. Shortly before being executed for the murder of Deputy John Murphy, Dennis Dilda was granted the opportunity to pose for a photograph with his wife and two children. His final words before the execution were, "Goodbye, boys!" The Hanging of Dennis Dilda In September 1885, Dilda got a job helping to manage William Hamilton Williscraft’s farm. The farmhouse came along with the job and Dilda and his wife and children moved in. Williscraft went to live elsewhere but kept one room in the farmhouse for himself. The room was always securely locked and inside was a locked trunk. Dilda was supposed to have worked alongside the farm’s general caretaker, “General Grant” Jenkins. By December, however, Jenkins had disappeared, and Williscraft noticed the lock had been pried off the door of his reserved room, the trunk had bee...
