*Spoilers* The Torture Victims

[LSunday]

The biggest problem with understanding Daniel is that a lot of people forget the time period. 1839? Torture was still pretty commonplace, and the death sentence as well. If Daniel believed that all those people were guilty of the crimes Alexander claimed they were, he actually wasn't even stretching the law that much.

All the things in the transept/choir were actual torture devices from that time period.

Same with the argument of missing people- If they were mostly taking loners, the idea that they're 'missing' would have been significantly less. People would just think they'd "moved on." Especially after hundreds of years of people going missing in the woods; no townsperson would ever go into the woods, so logically, the people kidnapped were probably almost all wanderers who no one nearby would ever miss.
