9. Rat torture
Yes, we have all seen “Game of Thrones” and the episode with this type of torture presented. However, not many people know that rats were used for executions in the medieval era and perhaps in some Eastern countries during World War II or Vietnam War. This execution method number nine on our list of most painful cruel horrific deaths and execution methods in history was very simple. A cage with rats was put on a person’s stomach or chest, but the bottom of the cage was open. Rats had nothing to eat except the person’s skin, muscles, and tissue. Finally, the person died in pain, bleeding heavily and utterly terrified. The higher level of torture involved putting a cage with rats on a person’s anus, so they had only one way to escape – through the person’s guts.
