Crime & Torture Museum in Rothenburg Germany

Ok, this doesn't really have to do with the paranormal, but if you used any of the following on me, I'd probably haunt you. But, for your pleasure (and the pleasure is that you aren't being tortured with these items) I present some selections from a crime & torture museum in Germany.
First, let's enter the ancient walled city of Rothenburg...

ah, the gibbet. No matter what a bad day you've had, you can always say at least you weren't tarred and put in a gibbet for crows to pick at you.

I say we grab a paddy wagon and get out of here. Hope you brought a horse.
