Spanish Horse
The Spanish Horse was actually a large sharp wedge shaped wooden device upon which a woman was forced to struggle, one leg on each side. Usually the witch's weight was enough to cause great pain and discomfort. If the witch still did not confess her sins, some stone weights were suspended to her legs to increase the effect.

This kind of chair was developed especially for the long-time interrogation of witches. More than 2000 sharp bolts pierced into the body of the woman who had to sit on the chair for hours and sometimes even days! If this was not enough, the seat could be heated by red-hot coals from beneath. The witch chair which is used in our videos is an exact copy of the "Heckersche Stuhl"
