19. Crushed to death with rocks placed on top of a wooden board.
“Giles Corey was ‘pressed’ to death, or basically crushed by placing a board over him and laying rocks on it. He was subjected to it because he was accused of witchcraft and refused to plea, so the sheriff oversaw the pressing while waiting for a plea. When noon rolled around and the sheriff asked him what his plea was Giles said, ‘more rocks.’”
20. Given electric shocks until they went insane and started killing each other.
“The Kitakyushu murders were the absolute worst way to go. The victims, a family, were given electric shocks by the perpetrator to the point to being driven into insanity and ultimately began to kill each other from mere orders. …Being killed by someone who loved, or forced to kill your love is…well, I can’t even describe how gruesome that could possibly be.”
