Insane Torture Methods to Prove Someone Was a Witch
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 7. 08. 2022
- The witch trials were a horrific period in history where pretty much anyone could be accused of being a witch, and the tests to prove whether or not you were a witch were so bizarre there was no way to be right. Check out today's insane new video to find out exactly how people decided whether someone was a witch or not!

A âwitchâ was most likely the person in the village who had the best knowledge of herbs and plants etc., and they were respected by people in their community for their ability to heal minor injuries (and probably save lives by stopping infection). The day they made a mistake or were simply unable to save someone - ie. from cancer (which we still canât always cure people from) - they were persecuted. All the rights they did over the years would be disregarded and they would be reported.
A lot of the herbs they used back then, we still use today. Itâs so sad that things we keep in the cupboard now couldâve got us killed back then.
It could be but also because of bad People that were there at the time and also because of some supernatural stupidity
@@forspartaaa2348 youâve commented practically that identical comment to someone else đ covers all bases I suppose đ€đ
To be fair those people back in the day were pretty dumb cause maybe theyâre trying to stop an evil witch but if itâs just a regular witch like you said she would be able to cure diseases
Hagrid: Youâre a wizard Harry.
Salem: Drown him in the Lake!!

True
And not a single witch or wizard were found...All it was, was gratuitous murders by jealous people.
Actually witches have been found because witchcraft was also used in that time. There are even books and grimoires found from back then with satanic conjurings spells and other witchcraft. However mostly it was misunderstood with woman who where village healers or so called wise woman.
Bro they just didnât get cought
They didn't get into hogwarts đ
Your not a wizard harry
Jealous? No. Land? Yes
I always shake my head whenever I read or listen to stories from the witch hunting days. These are some of the stupidest, most ignorant and hysterical times i can think of. I just feel sorry for all the innocents who died cause of frauds who accused them of witchcraft. đŁ
Sounds kind of familiar .. substitute the far right authoritarian groups in government right now for those using the bible then... oh wait using the same book now
This says this comment has one reply, I go in to read it and there's nothing there, what's all that about?
@@emzybenzey it's witchcraft
Especially when all they had to do is see if they weighed more than a duck
@@sicjes1 wicked witchcraft... and although I know it's strictly taboo...
Personally, I think a lot of this was more about the church eliminating those who they saw as a threat to their power. Also, people who accused others of being witches often had ulterior motives for doing so.
Christendom and Western Civilization's imprint on the world is so dark, and disturbing.

The scariest part about this is that if just one person is suspected to be a witch, it could all start again.
I hope not
Hasn't already started again?
Wouldnât you think if they were wizards or witches they would be able to use their magic TO ESCAPE ! definitely a tool made to silence
We did.
@@marieabner shhh đ€ đ€« lol
Hard to believe that people back then couldn't realize if one of these victims were wizards or witches, wouldn't you think they'd realize they have zero powers after the 1st few people they murdered?
That's how the church kept control thru fear and propaganda
People can be incredibly dumb.
@@Flaris yet so smart yin yang
No, because you can use it for power to get rid of those that are in your way. Just like any hysteria there are ulterior motives.
That was the deal. They would only be pardoned from witchcraft posthumously.
These stuff were just scams, especially the pricking test. You get pricked you could get a bruise or get a scratch or at least a mark, that meant that he's gonna have 'the devil's mark' and he's gonna be dead anyway. What the heck
problem is, not every spot on yer skin has nerve endings or blood flow; so, if you get poked on a spot and didn't feel it or bleed, well...
Imagine being abducted and being accused to be a witch when the moldy bread you sold tasted like moldy bread. Those times were weird đ
Yuck. Made me dizzy.
"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire
Unfortunately in some parts of the world people are still accused of being a witch and murdered.
Yep, I also mentioned in a comment that this still happens, for example, in many rural areas of some African countries.

I would've been burnt alive since I have epilepsy, and back then they probably thought it was demon possession...
They definitely thought that claimed demons caused people to fall into fire or water which epilepsy could.
I probably would've been burned at the stake for heresy because I'm not Catholic, regardless the faith I'm a part of is still a Christian faith.
@@EmilyS-gk3st I'm Catholic, and I can say that we wouldn't do that, as it violates the most basic of Christian principles.
it is true that in the past some catholics abused their power and committed terrible atrocities, but that's a result of them betraying their faith, not following it. the sad thing is that when they do this, they tarnish the reputation of the entire church, and cause even more damage to people's souls. it's important that we all remember not to judge any law based on the criminals who disobey it, and keep a sharp eye out for those wolves in sheep's clothing who continue to exist in every group of humans to this day.
@@joestarr1200 I totally agree that there are good and bad people in every group. I'm not saying all Catholics are bad, nor that modern Catholic leaders would do that to me.
I was referring to centuries ago, that would've happened.
Weirdly I. The 1400s, but in ancient Rome you would have been considered touched by the Gods like Caesar
Once upon of time, to eliminate competition, doctors would accuse midwives and nurses of being witches.
People today: "TikTok is rotting our brains"
People in the 1600s: "SHE'S A WITCH! BRING THE *P I S S C A K E*"
Right!

every regime has pros and cons
Cool fact: In Canada its legal to practice witchcraft, but pretending to be a witch/wizard to deceive others is a crime

So you can be prosecuted for not being a witch in Canada? :D
What are u talking aboot, eh?
@@TheJurnalyst You can get arrested for being a fake witch to scam people, but you won't be arrested for being a real witch. You can still be a witch/wizard on Halloween and stuff like that, but if you're trying to get money by scamming people its illegal

How on earth did anyone get a tattoo after knowing such stuff during that timeđ€Š
I think if there was a real witch she would turn them all to toads .
they can't do that. They can make someone think they turned into a toad, and others think they saw someone turned into a toad. It's all about perception.
@Katie Galaxy
O.k ,that makes sense ,but this would already help to escape .
I wonder what it feels like to think you're a toadđ
No. Nobody can turn someone into a toad. It happens only in fantasy movies and fairy tales but not in reality.
@@snehajagajith6409 yes , because real witches donât exist.
Good Timing thank you for the content. I do miss infographics show content about space exploration.
Thank goodness this video was made in the way it was made! I really felt like witch hunts would soon be back, and therefore it is important to gin up anger at witch hunters from hundreds of years ago, so their books wouldn't be read today. I mean seriously, sometimes this channel makes really good videos, that really share something genuinely interesting and cool. And sometimes, they do this.
The dislikes are from the people who got accused of being a witch
wat dislikes ??
I'm from Massachusetts and go to Salem every October, it's such a cool experience being in that town during Halloween season

I once heard a statement I found interesting. "More people have been killed in the name of religion than for all other reasons combined." While I am not sure that is statistically true, there is certainly a degree of truth to it.
Bad religion!
Yes! Religion is def one of the biggest causes for death.

@@ajaxnair-santangelo5801 That DOES sound like something he'd say!
When fate throws inevitable death on you, fight it to the last drop of your blood.
When I was in the 10th grade, we read a book in my English class called "The Crucible". It takes place in Massachusetts during the Salem witch hunts. We also watched the movie in class as well. Y'all should check it out
This makes me think about how dumb people were back then lol đ
People can still be dumb, even modern day
Have you seen what Twitter mobs will do, and how it's only a differing opinion that can set them off?
@@EmilyS-gk3st Oh, I donât really have Twitter so I didnât know
@@peppermintplush10 It's true. Part of the reason why I don't have Twitter any more is that it's very much like the CZcams comments section here, where if you have an opinion different from someone else's, you'll probably get hate for it.
Gee not sure if you paid attention to the last few elections but it doesn't seem like people have really changed that much. Just different words for the same hysterical hate.
people still are. look at how many people are religious
Me: * about to get tortured for Witchery *
Also me: * does the missing finger trick *
Fun fact: during these times there were more witch hunting books than educational books.
Other fun fact: one 81 year old man named Giles Corey was accused of witchcraft and sentenced to peine forte et dure, being slowly crushed under rocks. He never confirmed or denied anything. In fact he stayed mute and simply accepted his fate.
When asked to enter his plea multiple times through his peine forte et dure he responded with "More Weight". His refusal to enter a plea on the charge was to prevent the government from seizing his assets so they could pass to his children in accordance with his will as the assets of witches were seized upon their demise.
Y'all should watch the whole video before commenting because Giles and his story is talked about. đ
The movie Monty Python's Holy Grail has something to say about this.
This reminds me a bit about today. A small group of people calling out other people. The rest of the group may not agree but is so worried that theyâll be called out that they go along with it. People are getting called out, canceled or attacked. So far luckily no one is being killed

Those people back then aren't smart if anything they should have done a spell test like they would say if you're a witch turn this rock into a butterfly or search there house look for books spell books
Living in that era, it's better to be an actual witch. At least we have magic abilities to defend ourselves
Wicca was a religion did not have magical powers although some knew chemistry that ignorant might confuse for magic.
@@hydrolito still Is*
Better to be under the protection of Satan than to be accused of being so while being completely vulnerable
Itâs kinda sad that innocent, and relatively innocent people were accused and executed on the spot without a proper trial.
Not so fun fact: The same location of the Salem witch trials (Hathorne Hill) is the same location that the infamous Danvers State Hospital (Later Avalon Danvers Condo's/Apartments) sat on, which, in it's own right, had a lot of horrors to tell happen there as well. Imagine so much dark energy from not just one but two extremely dark periods for Upper Boston/Salem Mass.
The stool trial could actually be considered a form of torture as it was essentially just waterboarding. I can't believe that things like this happened. It's not hard to see why things like pagan traditions and the old religions are so hard to learn nowadays.

@@johndoeiii9767 Pretty much every large civilization at one point have dark & disturbing histories, not just western.
@@drewr1843
Agreed.
However the West did take it to new levels.
Think about the narrative we were taught as children, with regards to Christendom and Western Civilization's relation to the non-Christian non-European world. I'm from the first batch of what is known as the "Born-Frees" of South Africa. Those born from '94 onwards. We were literally taught, as kids, that Christians came to spread the gospel, to civilize the uncivilized, to educate the uneducated.
Even in America, people are fed the narrative that "slaves" were brought to the Americas, and educated, civilized, etc. This is evident by the attitudes African Americans show towards Africans, just take a look at black comedy through the decades. Why is that none of them heard the name _"Omar Ibn Said"_ before? Think about it.
A mere 30-years ago, the conservative Christian Apartheid regime (who the US fully backed) was setting dogs loose on innocent men, women, and children. A mere 30-years ago, my parents were viewed as less-than-human, inferior subhuman beings. How can that be? Why weren't we taught about _"Sheikh Yusuf of Macassar", "Tuan Guru of Robben Island",_ and countless other well-learned, revered personalities who were recognized as such, even by those who enslaved them.
Do you get see where I'm coming from?
Christendom and Western Civilization unlike most other major empires, set out to destroy peoples, cultures, communities, families... deliberately denying others even basic dignity and recognition.. going as far as to even denying knowing that what they propagate to this day, are are sinister, self-serving sentiments and suggestives.

_"Omar Ibn Said"_
_"Sheikh Yusuf of Macassar"_
_"Fatima Al-Firhi"_

Weren't the knight Templars the first witch's
Ironically, most of these 'witch' tests are actually just really lame forms of witchcraft! So, in the case of something like the 'witch cake' (which is basically making a really gross 'magic' potion), the real witch ironically proved themselves to be the very one making the cake! If it weren't so horrifically sad, it would make for hilarious satire!
All these witch tests sound like the very witchcraft that they were trying to eradicate đ€Ł

The Salem Witch Trials were excused as the inflicted were victims of Ergot poisoning. My biggest issue with this theory is that; if there was an outbreak of Ergot poisoning, why did it only affect that handful of girls? Nobody else suffering from these symptoms! Ergot would have affect more than just those few girls!
Imagine how many Msa characters would have been killed at that time
The Aftermath of Witch Hunt serves to a cautionary tale: of Manipulating fear and of course in Salem Scapegoating because in Salem (during those days) their justice system is more on confessing than investigating, it answers the question: Do you give a false confession or risk a Public hanging?
Infographic walks a fine line between fact and opinion
Just some I noticed throughout watching their videos
Gotta love youtube đ
Salem Witch trials. I've heard so much about them.
âBut you are dressed like a witch!â
âThey dressed me like this!â
Personally I think the real witches left when we knew they were being persecuted
if you want a graphic display of witch hunts, look an old silent film called Haxan; it's a foreign movie that shows a history of witchcraft in Europe. Really interesting scenes and effects. It's available on Archive. Warning: it does get violent.

You guys need to hire somebody to watch these videos and scan them for inconsistencies in the voiceover and the animation/text. It is pretty egregious at this point.
As a witch can confirm this is what they did
I wonder if people became more hysterical to help preserve themselves...maybe better to join in and throw accusations than be targeted...horrible position to be in.
