The Spiked Helmet


The spiked helmet was a weird looking helmet that had a handle on it. With a simple turn of the handle, a screw would be driven into the torture victim's forehead. This torture was so bad because it could last for long periods of time while still being extremely painful. All the torturer had to do was twist the crank once an hour and the victim would still be in immense pain. The victim could even survive for a period of time after the screw had broken through their skull. Crazy!

Bethany ~ Just who thinks up these things?? It certainly shows that too many people are traveling on the dark side of the road. Let's hope that population has moved over to the opposite direction, but too many folks are still there.

This is sure a very interesting torture device. Sure hope I would never have to come across such a thing. Your blog has been very interesting!
