Wyatt-Lily Davenport I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The ducking stool was a no-win situation because if you drowned, you were not a witch and if you survived, you were and you got burned at the stake. "More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason." George Carlin
I’ve heard worse. From what I’ve read, there are far more torture devices they used back in the Middle Ages and the Spanish Inquisition were into it to. Read up on torture methods and devices on Wikipedia. You’ll be surprised.
Apple Don’t blame Christians, christianity is a wonderful religion but at that time they didn’t know the Bible well. The Bible says that you aren’t allowed to kill anyone no matter what. They used god as he was a leader for their wars but god is kind, to everybody no matter what. He loves us all so much.
Yeah and they are still doing this kind of shit in parts of the middle east. Stoning women for "adultery" (aka being raped) , or trying to educate themselves in secret.
J S B Lunaya C.S. Lewis put it this way, (I am paraphrasing here) while we may find the practice of killing someone who was accused of witchcraft immoral today, if we honestly thought there was someone cursing, harming, and killing people the moral thing would be to get rid of them.
So sad for all the poor women who actually went through this. Even the women who were witches didn’t do anything wrong, they were simply healing their loved ones with herbs :(
@@laylaeloise4766 they weren't killed for being a woman, or foreign. and it weren't only women. for example, the witch trials in Salem, 200 people were accused. 30 were found guilty and 19 were sentenced to death by hanging. 14 woman and 5 MEN. so it wasn't only women who were accused of being witches. we often think it is only about women when we hear the term witch but it actually refers to both genders. although more women were accused of witchcraft than men. and your number of 80 000 is also wrong. over a period of 300 years from 1450 until 1750 80 000 people were ACCUSED not killed. from those 80 000 accused 35 000 were executed. now these numbers are from Europe not including the united states or other continents. the reason why woman were 78% of accused people during witch trials was because people thought that men and women were equal in the eyes of god but not in the eyes of the devil. it was thought that women were more easily tempted by the devil and were more sinful than men. but being accused doesn't mean death. some women were only temporarily taken over by the devil and once they had repented they then were reintegrated into the community.
I remember reading how religious people "couldn't" be witches because witches "can't recite holy text" so that's one thing, and also they would just say she's lying too.
@@Capcoor No one found guilty of witchcraft in Salem was ever actually burned at the stake. All of them were hung except one man who was crushed to death. The burnings happened in Europe.
This was a reflection of the power of the church at the time and also a reason why suicide is considered such a sin in some forms of Christianity. For those of the peasant and working class, the idea was that you worked hard and suffered your entire life and you would be rewarded in Heaven when you died. That's why it was easy to get people to go along with horrendous practices like this because the way of thinking was, "heck, if she dies and she's innocent, she'll just receive her reward in Heaven sooner than the rest of us. Sucks to suck for her loved ones but hey, death happens to all of us at some point."
Every time I see dumbass people who say "The good ol days", I think of shit like 'Come and See'. I think people fail to realize that the present is unironically the best time to live for most people. We got shit so much nicer (in most regards).
So many times we have been told never to forget the holocaust, never to forget the slavery.... Well, add this to that list of horrible events never to be forgotten.
@@dullypuketon2932 I mean, my history teacher refuses to discuss the witch trials because he sees witchcraft and the subjects surrounding it as unimportant/stupid. Maybe not necessarily forgetting it, but it definitely should be discussed more as there are a lot of misconceptions regarding the history of the religion/trials
@@gustav2398 if this was from a time when they didn't know what they were doing then what do you say about those that wrote the bible which was over 1600 years prior to this... surely they would know even less of what they were doing........ 🤔
This is basically with a true meaning,back then if they thought you were a witch you would be put in a dunking chair,if they never believed you they would hold you under there for a bit, if you were still alive you were held as a witch and killed,but if you drowned,you would be brought back some way.
This is actually very accurate. They used to toture people if they were sure that they were culprit. So the toture was to make sure no accomplice was left behind or forgotten.
Meanwhile in the middle east it keeps going on, stoning, beheading, lynching. In Africa they tyre necklace each other because of different tribes. Knowledge saved us, hope it does the same with them.
It goes on here in the west too, the USA should have a national “it has been thismanydays since our last lynching” as a reminder, since everyone seems to think we’re somehow past that. Some dude beheaded his father last week for the crime of being a federal employee….
@@laizalott Lynching? OMG. Why do people insist on living a period they never lived in? EVERY people and EVERY country in the world has done barbaric things. But it seems only the ones who repent are "guilty". Check you humility at the door. ALL people are the same.
Ancient Roman Empire: We constructed superior water supply system and we can supply fresh water to every single district in our city. Ancient Greece: Probably the earth is one of the solar system and it is revolving around the sun. Middle age Europe: Arrest young woman for nothing and force her to confess that she's witchcraft.
BUT the Scots repelled the Roman army. They turned and ran. Also, Africans are still living in grass huts and have no idea what birth control is..apparently. Be careful, you'll be labeled as a "racist" or something. Note: I've seen ancient Celtic jewelry that makes ancient Roman jewelry look like gumball machine design. Stop trying to fit every civilization into the same mold. We all come from great civilizations and we all have to a lot to be proud of. Except the grass huts. Oops, I might be a racist, or something.
There were also some witch trials in Ancient Rome but not that common. They believed that the witches could be influential to the people and poses as a threat to the government. When Rome became Catholic that's where it became bloodier culminating in the Medieval era.
Except that the last time i checked salem is not in europe but in america and salem trials was not in middle ages The only difference is that in middle ages they did not burn enough witches
Them: The Catholic Church is the most terrifying institution because of their Inquisition! They tortured many people! Puritans: Hold my torturing schemes!
@@jabc3979and those who didn't were most likely worse. My evidence: The French Revolution, more people died under the atheist regime of Robespierre than the actual death toll of the Spanish Inquisition. The death toll of the reign of terror: 30,000 within a 5 year span. The death toll of the Inquisition: 5,000 within a 200 year span (the myth that the death toll of the Inquisition was in the hundreds of thousands was made during the implementation of the printing press, and the fact of the spanish Inquisition using torture is also a false. Those who confessed under the Inquisition were put in a cell, for a single day.) The best thing to recognize is that regardless if there's religion in someone or not, the human mind can be brutal. It's not that any man who trusts in God is dangerous, it's that any man in general is dangerous.
Im not a witch but naturally I have an amazing lung capacity, I can be to 2 to 3 minutes under the water. If I was there at the time, since Im a ginger and really intuitive by nature I will probably be killed by this psychopaths LMAO.
When people say that the Inquisition in Spain was brutal I usually remember the Salem trials and then I put things in context. The Inquisition, being a centralized organization and bureaucratized to the extreme, was a established and regulated process (and much less macabre bloddy and brutal than how it is usually represented/depicted, for example: contrary to what is usually believed, only three procedures for torture were allowed: “the garrucha”, “la toca” and “the rack”, any other method of torture was prohibited, in addition, by the Inquisition's own initiative, the torture sessions could only last 15 minutes in the presence of a doctor, a limitation that the civil jurisdiction did not have. And most of the sentences were not to death. Therefore, episodes of collective hysteria produced by the panic of fear of witches were avoided. That is why Spain is one of the countries in Europe that had one of the lowest rates of trials and convictions for witchcraft (in fact the Spanish inquisition ruled that witches did not exist, on several occasions). Contrary to what it might seem at that time, it was better to have a regulated institution with a prescribed procedure, instead of simply a mob of scared peasants who were going to lynch you those you couldn't reason with, incited by witch hunters looking for rewards and improvised judges.
In a class out teacher was talking about Salem he said they were killing redheaded and green eyed women and look at me a redheaded green eyed women well that was an unpleasent moment.
That’s why gingers with green eyes are rare they killed many of them because they were so backwards 😞 if there is an afterlife i hope they pay for torturing and killing people in the name of god
Bear in mind the current US Supreme Court, led by conservatives, frequently quotes English jurist Matthew Hale for his legal wisdom. Hale was Witchfinder General and presided over the Bury St Edmunds witch trials (1599 -1694) in the town of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, England which saw 18 people executed in one day.
One possible way to end witch hunts (if you are lucky): accuse the accusers. I haven’t watched this show, but she should have made up a tale about how the righteous, beardy dude was the only name she can give, as the head of their witch coven.
This show needs to be added back to main sites like Netflix, Amazon prime etc ( here in the U.K as i miss this show and unfortunately the show got removed before my mum could finish it a couple of year's ago😂)
I’m descended from Cotton Mather and at one point I was dating a guy descended from one of the women put to death by his persecution. The night we realized our interesting connection he got a little lick of revenge.
There are still people who believe in witchcraft like the ones who argue that Harry Potter books should be banned . They are not ready to accept even a work of fiction
So many times we have been told never to forget the holocaust, never to forget the slavery.... Well, add these times to that list of horrible events never to be forgotten.
The most depressing and sad part is that after I read a lot of comments, I see that a lot of people have not changed a bit since then or the medieval times, they would gladly murder other people for nothing if they see it appealing.
It never changed - that's just people in hysteria mode. The more rural the area, the less balanced their exposure to life is and the more susceptible to suggestion they can be - especially when they start off with early religious indoctrination. I'm just glad I grew up after regular church attendance was basically history in Britain for most of the Christian population.
This scene makes me angry and want to travel back in time to unleash horrific violence on such a man. It is sickening to know such things happened back then, people do not change and I would gamble that it will occur again at some point.
It's well known that the towns of salem had bizarre encounters leading up to this. It wasn't because they were unadvanced and couldn't handle products of medicine and healing. My great-great-great-great-great grandfather was one of the counselors in the white trials, and when his own daughter turned out to be a witch, Sarah Perkins, he then found a way to get her out of being hung.
yep, just look at the insane zealots who turn out to abuse someone who says "there are only two genders" or "men cannot become women". real violence is happening right now to people for an insane ideology.
There are senseless murders still happening in the US today - people walking into schools and committing mass murder..... What is that then? Chopped meat?
Mob:so what if their a witch? Guy:then they live and we kill them! Mob: and what if she’s not a witch? Guy:then we will give her family a 5 dollar coupon to Costco
I'm sorry but I laughed like what kind of messed up person decides "hey whats the best way to torture innocent people accused of witchcraft?" "Let's get this big log right. And at the end let put this chair on it right. And then we put the accused person on it and dunk them in the water.. but get this.. it takes three or four strong men to menuver "
They should have had a law than anyone that wrongfully accused someone of witchcraft because they died thus proving their innocence should be killed too. I remember thinking that when I saw the Simpson treehouse of horror episode where marge is accused of being a witch and actually is a witch because she survives the cliff fall
yea? so scaphism was created by moral people? or the brazen bull, which was instantly used against its inventor after he finished making it, because even the king who ordered him to make new torture devices, thought it was too barbaric and therefor insulting
She looks really good in the series of Salem dunking chair I never seen that machine before and she looks amazing wearing a dress holding her breath underwater awesome camera shots she is such a good female and actress character so cool
"When a woman is innocent of witchcraft, when thrown in water she will sink to the bottom..But if a witch is thrown in water she will float to renounce and refuse her holy baptism. If she floats, it is then she must be tied down to the chair..With the dunking chair a witch if forcibly baptized and will be more prone to divulge the other witches, so down under she must go to help weed out her coven!"..Cole Tanner's Guide to Witch Hunting
The fact that you could just accuse someone of witchcraft back then without proof, I would've turned around and accused the person of running trials of witchcraft.

Witch trials, awful and tragic as they were, paved the way for expert testimony in modern courts. So that’s something at least.
This reminds me how cruel and wicked humanity was back in the days and yet they're still going at it in this modern day.
It never changed - that's just people in hysteria mode.
The more rural the area, the less balanced their exposure to life is and the more susceptible to suggestion they can be - especially when they start off with early religious indoctrination.
I'm just glad I grew up after regular church attendance was basically history in Britain for most of the Christian population.
Girl I would have started listing every name I know
This scene makes me angry and want to travel back in time to unleash horrific violence on such a man. It is sickening to know such things happened back then, people do not change and I would gamble that it will occur again at some point.
It's well known that the towns of salem had bizarre encounters leading up to this. It wasn't because they were unadvanced and couldn't handle products of medicine and healing. My great-great-great-great-great grandfather was one of the counselors in the white trials, and when his own daughter turned out to be a witch, Sarah Perkins, he then found a way to get her out of being hung.
yep, just look at the insane zealots who turn out to abuse someone who says "there are only two genders" or "men cannot become women".
real violence is happening right now to people for an insane ideology.
There are senseless murders still happening in the US today - people walking into schools and committing mass murder.....
What is that then? Chopped meat?
Yikes ...I can’t imagine how cold the water was ...
If that was me on the dunking chair and was asked to name names, I'd point the finger at the bloke dressed in black.
this is so wrong. you must name the real witches!
In that situation I would play dead as if I had drowned, then they maybe would take me out of the chair thinking I was dead???
I DONT KNOW
If it was me in that chair I would snitch on every one dude
Awesome series
The tradition of Japanese gameshows goes back
imagine this ride attraction at universal studios theme park.
You know I wonder if the British Red Coats just walked in under the command of major, could they arrest the whole town!?
Depends, Britain had its own witch trials, but they were not so bad as this and they stopped much sooner.
I know everyone is saying it in the comments but they really did this to innocent women who disagree with men or show an ounce of their own thoughts
Feel the Christian love...
"The dunking chair"
Fk me people really had too much fun coming up with this torture sht. Ridiculous humans.
- 👽
Rest in peace to all the good woman’s who died of false accusations. If you know the real is to you will agree with me
Mob:so what if their a witch? Guy:then they live and we kill them! Mob: and what if she’s not a witch? Guy:then we will give her family a 5 dollar coupon to Costco
Makes me sick to think this action happened back then :(
Seth Gabel was fantastic in Fringe
Quaritch career as Witch Hunter before he Join RDA Security Ops as Colonel and Head Of Department LOL
Incredibly good series
They dunk people in the water for them saying Jojo anime is bad
I'm sorry but I laughed like what kind of messed up person decides "hey whats the best way to torture innocent people accused of witchcraft?" "Let's get this big log right. And at the end let put this chair on it right. And then we put the accused person on it and dunk them in the water.. but get this.. it takes three or four strong men to menuver "
Not going to lie, that guy is a great actor
Someone actually was commissioned to build that for this specific reason.
The 1680s aka the Go crazy!! Go stupid!! era
They should have had a law than anyone that wrongfully accused someone of witchcraft because they died thus proving their innocence should be killed too. I remember thinking that when I saw the Simpson treehouse of horror episode where marge is accused of being a witch and actually is a witch because she survives the cliff fall
The biggest and most brutal tortures in history were created in the name of morality, not of sadism. Moral people create this, not the sadist.
yea? so scaphism was created by moral people? or the brazen bull, which was instantly used against its inventor after he finished making it, because even the king who ordered him to make new torture devices, thought it was too barbaric and therefor insulting
God: I will only give you 10 simple and easy to understand commandments to follow.
The Community during 1692:
This is quite nothing to far worse torture machines that were used in Europe up to late 18th century...
This is the mercy that jesus would want 😂😂😂😂
Throughout history, some pretty messed up and horrific things were done in the name of religion.
She looks really good in the series of Salem dunking chair I never seen that machine before and she looks amazing wearing a dress holding her breath underwater awesome camera shots she is such a good female and actress character so cool
"When a woman is innocent of witchcraft, when thrown in water she will sink to the bottom..But if a witch is thrown in water she will float to renounce and refuse her holy baptism. If she floats, it is then she must be tied down to the chair..With the dunking chair a witch if forcibly baptized and will be more prone to divulge the other witches, so down under she must go to help weed out her coven!"..Cole Tanner's Guide to Witch Hunting
“If she weighs the same as a duck….she’s made of wood! And therefore…?”
Looks like fun. Every carnival should have at least one. Maybe at Disneyland.
Now I’m really happy that I was born in the 21st century.
Nothing like a refreshing dunk being tied to a chair.
Medieval/renaissance Europe, a woman thinks
man: “then you have chosen death”
They taught us to fear witches, but not to fear the people going around drowning and burning everyone.
.
To protect themselves most people randomly accused others and pretended to be possessed
How the hell did people really believe in this stuff smh 🤦🏼♀️
Koba why not believe in witch craft, UFO's & Big foot are real lol🤔
Witchcraft does exist aka known as wicca but its nothing like in the show. However those back then where gullible to beyond.
@@bethany508 witchcraft is older then wicca thank you
Nada é mas perigoso que um humano fanatico.
Hollywood sure loves to make people sympathize with character assassins and nosy gossips
I would have named the man doing this to me as another witch
Such loving Christians
Sounds like someone has an axe to grind....
is this a tv show? cause i need to watch it asap
The fact that you could just accuse someone of witchcraft back then without proof, I would've turned around and accused the person of running trials of witchcraft.
