Nice price. for a fun machine.
I might but it would be a dup.
Salem is where they tortured witches back in the Puritan day.
There's a museum there with all kinds of nasties. The worse was a slab that they would make a witch lie down on and then put board like a door on top. Slowly they would add boulders compressing a confession out of the accused. :help:

The whole town feels a little off...

Yeah I have heard..... Not exactly my idea of a learning experience!
More like a musuem of proof, of how we can let things we do not understand drive us to the extreme!

Wish we would learn from the past and not repeat ourselves.

Not for the claustrophobic.



Crushing a witch was often used both to kill and force a confession. The accused would be made to lie on the ground or a table and usually a board was placed on top of them. As they lay there being questioned they would slowly place large rocks upon the board. They would add more and more until the person confessed and then, once having a confession, would add more until the person was no longer able to breathe. It was a slow and painful death.

A variation on crushing was stoning. Stoning allowed a mob of people to gather around the accused and pelt them with stones until the person was killed. Depending on the situation a person could be battered for minutes or hours before succumbing to death. Stonings were not always organized events, in some communities a mob would develop before the so-called witch could be tried.

I have read about the compression torture/death it was a barbaric, cruel, slow and painful way to meet ones demise. often used as indicated to get a confession and also kill the accused. We humans have done the most terrible things to each other in the past.

We still do, just the techniques have changed....

Problem is that even an innocent person would confess to whatever the accusation was just to stop the torture.

A lose,lose situation!
