Talk:Dunking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Historical questions

Am I the only one who's suspicious that "supposed" witches who were dunked were "usually" killed, either by drowning or by confessing and dying another way?

While they could certainly be barbarous at times back then, it strikes me that the authorities would rationally want to have some assurance that the individual was actually a witch before killing her. --128.103.7.17 23:03, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
