Today, Friends of the Crypt, there is another episode of the macabre but entertaining documentary series, with the core topic of how people have tormented and tortured in recent centuries. With scientific experiments torture devices are tested again and explained in detail, today from the Middle Ages:
In 1252, torture during inquisition proceedings was officially approved by papal decree. This ecclesiastical ordinance triggered a wave of violence in Europe that is unparalleled to this day. With the help of gruesome instruments of murder, torturers extorted innumerable confessions in the dark cellars of the Inquisition. The rack was often used here, a device that at first glance seems almost harmless and very popular during interrogations. Their pulling devices made it possible to precisely dose the pain inflicted on victims. Dislocated joints, torn muscles and tendons - the overstretching of the body caused unimaginable agony among the delinquents. Surveys with thumbscrews and head presses were somewhat less popular, but equally feared.

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called.
