3. The face is sometimes pale, but is more often congested and swollen especially in those who have been long suspended. On this point
Esquirol,' Fleichman,1 and Ollivier* (d'Angers) have offered
explanations, which Tardieu justly considers in great part theoretical.
(Case 3.)

In twenty-one of Dr. Ogston's forty cases of hanging (= 52.5 per cent.)
the features were calm and placid. In one (a suicide) the expression was anxious, and the eyeballs prominent.
In one case, the external auditory canals were recorded as full of blood.

4. The tongue. Dr. Taylor says that in hanging the tongue is enlarged
and livid, and either protruding or compressed between the teeth. Dr.
Guy also speaks of the swollen state of the base of the tongue, as
affording a strong probability of suspension during life. Dr. Chevers
and Dr. Beatson have not noticed protrusion of the tongue in hanging
except as a result of putrefaction, but Dr. Chevers remarks on the base
of the tongue and of the glottis being invariably of a violet livid hue.
(Case 3.)
In 14 of Dr. Ogston's cases (= 35 per cent.), and in 11 out of 27 of
Devergie's cases, the tongue was either protruded or marked by the teeth.

This protrusion of the tongue is entirely independent of the position of
the cord.

5. The pupils are nearly always dilated, and the eyes staring and
prominent. (Cases 3 and 37.)
In thirty nine of Dr. Ogston's cases (= 97.5 per cent.) the pupils
weredilated, and in only one contracted.

6. It is generally stated that blood-stained froth is to be found about
the nose and lips. Dr. Ogston, however, found froth at the lips in 3
only of his 40 cases, and at the nostrils in but one. (Case 3.)

7. The hands vary in position like the head. The fists are often closed
so tightly that the finger nails penetrate the palms. ( Case 6.) This is specially noticeable where the hanging has been violently effected. But
in incomplete hanging (that is where the feet are not off the ground),
the hands may be stretched out, or rest open on the ground.

The legs also vary in position. They generally present a livid appearance.

8. The neck in nearly all cases appears stretched, and will probably
exhibit marks of the ligature employed. Probably, we say, for if the
hanging be very brief, and the ligature very soft and supple, and the
body be instantly cut down after death, there may be no mark of a
ligature at all. Dr. Allison, in a paper in the " Lancet," 1869, i., p.
636, contends that the track of the cord is a purely cadaveric
phenomenon, and that its diagnostic value is very questionable. Although
in our own experience it is true that the mark is more or less
independent of the ligature and of the duration of the suspension, and
that it does not ordinarily acquire its colour for some hours after
death, it is certain that at times it does occur within a comparatively
short period. (" Edin. Med. Journ." i., p. 299.)

A Textbook of Legal Medicine (1905)

We may, with Tidy, divide the phenomena of hanging into three stages.
First Stage.-There is partial loss of consciousness, with stupor. The subjective initial symptoms described by those who have been
resuscitated are an intense heat in the head; brilliant flashes of light
in the eyes; deafening sounds in the ears; and a heavy, benumbed feeling
in the lungs. In many cases ineffectual efforts to breathe are made
after the air passages are closed. These several symptoms belong to
those cases in which the death is not instantaneous through injury of
the spinal cord in the neck. This primary stage may last from thirty
seconds to three minutes..

Second Stage.-The person suspended is entirely unconscious, and
convulsions usually occur, although these may be wholly lacking. Urine,
feces, and semen are expelled at times in this stage, if at all. The
hands are clenched. The diaphragm and intercostal muscles act
spasmodically. The muscles of the face are contracted in sympathy with
the general spasm, and a twitching of the lower limbs is also observed.

It is a common and popular belief that pleasurable erotic sensations are experienced by those who die by hanging. This is a mistaken view. The
ground for this error is found in the post-mortem condition of the
sexual organs, which are sometimes observed to be more or less turgid in
cases of hanging; the penis is erect and shows a discharge of a
mucilaginous fluid more likely to be prostatic than seminal; and in the
female the clitoris is found swollen, and the adjacent parts are injected.

These appearances, however, are far from proving that sexual sensations correspond on the part of the person suspended. There is entire lack of authentic observations to demonstrate this relationship. In cases of resuscitation after suspension, and timely rescue, there is no record of
the erotic symptoms referred to. And no one so restored has avowed such sensations as a part of his experience during the suspension.

Third Stage.-The only remaining sign of life which marks this stage is
the continued beating of the heart. This persistent action of the heart
has been observed long after death has closed the scene otherwise. As a
rule, the pulse may be felt for ten minutes after the drop in a judicial hanging. But there are many extraordinary exceptions. Blankcnsip reports
an execution by hanging. Death was by strangulation ; the neck was not dislocated. The pulse beat once in the nineteenth minute. Tardieu
reports a case in which the heart was found beating at the rate of 80
per minute, an hour and a half after the supposed death of the man by suspension.

A case occurred in Boston, in 1858, which attracted much attention. A
condemned murderer, named Magee, twentyeight years old, weighing 130
pounds, was executed by hanging. The drop was from seven to eight feet.
There was no struggle or convulsion. Seven minutes after the drop, the
cardiac impulses numbered 100; at nine minutes, they were 98 ; at twelve minutes, they were 60 (fainter); at fourteen minutes, the heart-beats
were not audible and the body was lowered. At the autopsy, a little over
an hour after the drop fell, the right sternomastoid muscle was found
torn ; the hyoid bone was fractured, but the spine was not injured.
Ninety minutes after the hanging, the heart was beating 80. The thorax
was opened, and the heart was exposed. The right auricle showed full and regular contractions and dilatations. The spinal cord was divided by the pathologist, yet the heart persisted. Two hours after the drop the
heart-beats numbered 40. The pulsations of the right auricle continued
at intervals for three hours and a half longer. They were readily
excited by the scalpel point. The heart was normal in structure.

The duration of the suspension sufficient to cause fatal results-that is
to say, the minimum time within which death follows under this condition
of things-has been found to offer considerable variety, on account of
the diversity of the data.

Averaging results, we may say that resuscitation is not to be expected
when a body is cut down after five minutes' full suspension. The
extremes stated in the books extend from a second or two at one end to
half an hour at the other, although one finds difficulty in recognizing
under what possible circumstances a true suspension for thirty minutes
could occur with survival at the end. It is not difficult, however, to understand that actual differences in the time may be explained quite
readily.

For example, the situation of the noose may not be such as absolutely to annihilate respiration. There will be some difference in effects whether
the ligature tightens above, below, or across the thyroid. Then the
length of the fall, the weight of the person, his strength, natural
vigor, and power of resistance are important considerations.
Instantaneous death in hanging is determined by the damage done to the
spinal cord. This result is most frequently seen in judicial executions,
in some of which decapitation by the rope is accomplished unexpectedly,
the head being torn off Louis made the observation that this
instantaneousness of death was most readily brought about if the
executioner gave the body of the condemned a violent twist when the body dropped, thus fracturing the odontoid process-dislocating the upper
cervical vertebra -and either compressing, bruising, or stretching the
spinal cord in its upper and most sensitive region. Dislocation of the
spine is most apt to occur in those cases in which the knot is placed anteriorly under the chin.

Putnam's Magazine, 1869

The theory of hanging is, that the neck of the culprit should be broken;
and it is stated by competent surgical authority that, if this be done successfully, the second cervical vertebra is dislocated, its odontoid
process rupturing the transverse ligament of the atlas (the first bone
of the neck which sustains the globe of the head), and compressing the
spinal cord against the posterior arch of the vertebra. The cord is here
just expanding into the medulla oblongata, wherein is situated the
ganglion that presides over respiration. Its compression stops
respiration at once by stopping all desire for it; and death in such
case would be immediate and probably jminless.

But in hanging, as ^practised, the second vertebra often is only
partially dislocated, or not affected at all, and death takes place
either from slow and painful suffocation,-the victim getting just air
enough through the half-closed windpipe to prolong his struggles,-or
from apoplexy following the sudden cerebral congestion which is caused
both by the suffocation and by the pressure of the rope upon the great
veins of the neck.

I do not hesitate to assert, from the facts in my possession, that in at
least sixty per cent, of reported cases, in spite of every precaution,
the neck has not been broken* The sufferers have slowly and in torment
choked to death, frequently with such hard breathing, groans, and
contortions, as to drive the witnesses from the dreadful scene. I will
only quote from reports of one or two representative cases, but will
name a few others, of which the details are too harrowing for
republication here.

James Stephens, convicted, on circumstantial evidence, of wife-poisoning
(and still believed by his spiritual advisers to have been innocent),
was hanged in New York, Feb. 3, 1860. Most careful preparations were
made by the sheriff, but the hangman blundered, and Stephens was
subjected to great suffering. For many minutes his hard breathing was
frightful to listen to.-On the 12th of January, 1866, Marschall and
Frecke were hanged at Pittsburgh, Pa. Frecke's neck was not broken, and
he " died horribly of strangulation. His struggles were terrible and long-continued."

One week afterwards, Mrs. Martha Grinder, the confessed poisoncss, was
executed upon the same gallows for the murder of her last victim,-Mrs. Caruthers. She also suffered terrible and prolonged agonies. An unusual incident of the death-scene is reported by several witnesses: "The rope
slipped her cap partially from her face, and, while hanging at the
halter's end, by a mighty effort she put up one of her hands
sufficiently to draw it down again over her distorted features, thus,"
says the inductive reporter, "in death asserting the native modesty of
woman. She struggled fearfully, and twelve minutes elapsed before her death.''''

The question whether sensation, reflection, arrfl mental horror
accompany the physical contortions of those perishing by strangulation,
is fairly settled by such a fact as this, and by the conduct of many who
have committed suicide. Examples are common of unfortunates who have
fastened a noose around the neck and kicked away the support beneath
their feet, but who, finding the tortures of strangulation greater than
they had conceived, have repented, and made desperate efforts to regain
their footing.

At a meeting of the N. Y. Medico-Legal Society, held since this article
was prepared. Dr. Finncll stated that he " had carefully examined the
corpses of culprits, but had never as yet satisfied himself

that death occurred in any other way thnn by strangulation,
notwithstanding the newspaper reports to the contrary." Dr. Chadsey
expressed the same opinion.

Alexander B. Wiley, hanged at Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 21st, 1867; Hiram
Coon, hanged on the following day, at Troy, N. Y.; Jeremiah O. Brown,
hanged at "The Tombs," Aug. 9th, 1867; and Sylvester Quiller, hanged at Elizabeth, N. J., on the ensuing 14th of November;-all died in great and prolonged agony, of strangulation. The reports of the last case are
especially poignant. Yet the State of New Jersey, so loyal in
maintenance of good old customs, has achieved reputation for the
consistency with which her murderers are brought to execution. One would suppose that within her borders, at least, the hangman had mastered his art.

During the year 1888, a kind of professional demoralization has affected
the Jack Ketches of this country and England. Whether surfeited with
success, or disgusted with their calling, 'tis evident they no longer
practise hanging with that enthusiasm and devotion to details required
by the connoisseurs of this humanizing art. We, "the latest seed of
Time," take little vantage over ruder generations in the adjustment of
the noose, the scientific involution of the knot, the adequate balance
of the fatal weights. The record of the past year, in fact, is not
creditable to the talent of our own and neighboring States. Even in
Newgate, that venerable Academy, the hand of the master seems to have
lost its cunning: the great Calcraft is blundering like any callow
neophyte of our backwoods school.

Thomas Walsh, a boy of 19, hanged at Newark, N. J., January 2d, 1868;
Rufus Ludwig, hanged at Salisbury, N. C, on the 26th of June; John
Kennedy, hanged at Canton, N. Y., on the 20th of August; and Harrison
Young, hanged at Warwick C. H., Va., on the 25th of August;-were all
slowly tortured to death. There is no other name for it The accounts are
full and trustworthy. Ludwig's execution was one of those old-fashioned
outdoor festivals which brought together a larger crowd than ever
attended a barbacuc or circus in that region. He made a desperate and
dramatic fight for his life, at the last moment. In Young's case the
rope broke, and some time elapsed before he was strung up again and more efficiently.

The following month of September brought with it those contending
horrors still fresh in the public mind, Old England and New rivalling
each other in homicidal punishment and prevention of the crime of
homicide; and bungling work they made of it-as all magnanimous people
bungle in the commission of such wretched and mistaken deeds! On the
8th, the first private execution at London was carried to effect within
the walls of Newgate. Alexander Mackay, aged only 18 years, was hanged
for the murder of Mrs. Grossmith. The London journals commented
approvingly upon the aspect of Newgate, as contrasted with what it used
to be when executions were public. The Times reported:

"There was no uproar, there were no barriers, and, above all, there was
no wolfish crowd of thieves and prostitutes waiting to see a man die;
the cat-calls, the bonnetings, the preaching of ministers, whose every
word used to be interrupted by obscenity and blasphemy, the wild jumping
dances to the chorus of' Oh my, think I've got to die!' were all absent
There was not even a policeman; the windows opposite the jail were all untenanted, and in these days, when people get compensation for all improvements, it is ulmost wonderful that the owuers or occupiers of
these houses have not applied for some indemnity for the los» they
suffer from the criminals being hanged in private. There is no bravado
of the scaffold now as in the old days, when a man used to ride to
Tyburn with a nosegay in his breast and stop to drink on bis way, or as,
until lately, when a man would come out on the drop and be cheered by
his 'pals' and confederates, according as lie bore himself bravely.
Death by hanging now means a silent, terrible execution, where the
half-dozen or dozen spectators have the painful duty of staying by until
the man is hanged till he is dead. This is almost all that has to be
said about private executions."

So much for the external improvement of affairs. The English are at last driven, by the advance of public feeling, to repress the barbarous
outdoor exhibitions of Newgate and Tyburn. This is a gain, in that
executions serve less than formerly to breed and teach the very crimes
they punish; but the opponents of the Death-Penalty will urge that they
now, also, serve less to frighten into virtue the few ruffians who are susceptible to impression by the terrors of the scaffold. Hidden and
glossed over, they make no interruption to the carnival of vice, and are forgotten the moment they are recorded. When our British cousins are
engaged in dirty work, they desire, at least, the credit of doing it above-board, and so do not wholly relish the new system. The London
Spectator says of this affair: "It cannot be disputed that social order
has gained by the abolition of public hanging, but choking a man in a
dark hole is not and never can become an English institution." These are
manly words.

When the boy Mackay was hanged, the Times again reported: "His
sufferings were dreadful. How Mackay appeared to suffer only those who
were present can tell."

On the 25th of September, 1868, Silas James and Charles T. James were
executed at Worcester, Mass., for the barbarous murder of Joseph Or.
Clark. Silas died with little suffering, but of the agonies of Charles,
the younger and least guilty of the two, an eye-witness declared:

"Even while suspended from the terrible scaffolding, he clung to life
with the utmost tenacity. He struggled, drew up bis legs a dozen times
or more, and bis whole body shook violently, while every now and then
his groans and occasional long-drawn breaths broke the sad and painful stillness. The scene was one which could hardly be tolerated, except on recalling the fearful crime of which the men were guilty."

They attended to such matters roughly, but more thoroughly, upon our
frontier, so long as Lynch was jury, judge, and hangman. Now that he has
been supplanted by the commissioned officers of civilization, and his
triple function subdivided, the result is not so gratifying from a
scientific point of view. Kufus B. Anderson was executed in Austin,
Nevada, on the 30th of last October, for the murder of one Slocum. The newspapers grimly entitle this affair "Another Civilizing Gallows
Scene," and from their reports we learn that the rope broke twice, and,
in spite of the instinctive attempt of the crowd to rescue the wretched
victim, they were forced back by the guard, and Anderson was suspended a
third time, and thoroughly hanged.

But enough, and more than enough! Let us drop the catalogue of horrors.
A strange impression is made upon the searcher among these noisome
records when he sees that murder is hydraheaded; that in almost every
newspaper which describes an execution, the telegraphic columns report
two or three fresh and atrocious homicides.

It may be said that these horrors, of which the reader can hardly endure
the recital, are partly obviated by tthe adoption of the guillotine or
garotte. The polite Latin races, certainly, are more advanced than we,
who set our teeth together, and resist taste and sensitiveness in the
exercise of inherited customs. While there are agonies of a different
kind attendant upon these other modes of execution, which render them
unnatural to endure or witness, they nevertheless show one form of
progress in European civilization. Doubtless, with new scientific
knowledge, a painless mode of killing may be discovered,-as by an
electric shock, or by the use of some deadly anaesthetic. But the
limitation and abolition of the Death-Penalty grow so rapidly that there
is small likelihood of its modification by new forms. During the
remainder of its period we shall probably stick to the ancestral wont,
nor go to France and Spain for any foreign improvements; especially
since, as we observe, the first spontaneous act of the people of Madrid,
after their late successful revolution, was to proceed en masse to the
suburbs and burn the scaffold of the garotte.

What benefit accrues to the murderers themselves, from the prospect of
their torture? Apparently, a certain spiritual illumination and reform.
To be serious,-and with the utmost reverence for religion itself,-let us
say that nothing can be more grotesque and repulsive than the
pseudo-religious phase developed under the impending death and the ministrations of the clerical acolytes, who, with the executioner and
the surgeon, in their several functions, represent the offices of the
Parcte in these » fearful trilogies. Genuine repentance is, without
doubt, occasionally exhibited by those condemned to death; but if the
majority of these spiritual manifestations are well-founded, then a
rightdown villain's short road to Paradise is the perpetration of a
brutal murder; for, in most cases, the more brutal the murder, the
greater the pious assurance of the condemned.

Mrs. Grinder-who reduced poisoning to a science, and was the Lucrezia
Borgia of Western low-life,-when her sins had found her out, went to the
gibbet with a cheerful faith that her month of penitence had atoned for
her years of remorseless crime. When the sheriff came to lead her to
execution, and said, in reply to her first remark, "Yes, Mrs. Grinder,
the time has come," she answered with a chirrup, " Yes, and Jesus is
coming for me, too!" She acknowledged her guilt, but smiled confidently
to the last. Albert Starkweather, a wretch who slaughtered his mother
and sister with an axe, and was hanged at Hartford, August 17th, stated
by proxy on the scaffold that he died " in charity with all men, and
with a strong faith in Jesus Christ, believing he should soon see Him in
the spirit." Joseph Williams was still more content with his
arrangements for the coming life. This ignorant negro was hanged at New Brunswick, N. J., July 5th, 1867, for the murder of John Reddick. In his
speech to the crowd around the gallows, he said: "To-day is my last day.
When the clock strikes twelve, I shall see Jesus. If you want to see me
again, you must come*to Jesus!" This fellow died easily, and after his
short struggle was over, men, women, and children, with true New Jersey amateurehip, marched in procession under the gallows and inspected the
corpse.

(female poster)

From the very first time I heard about it I was interested in hanging.
Most people associate it with the old west and cowboys and think it can
only be done to guys but from the first I ever heard about it I knew
that wasn't true, that it was just made to be done to girls too. And I
wanted it done to me. Since then I've tried it a few times in varying
degrees and each time it was loverly, just hanging there naked,
suffering, really suffering as the rope chokes the life out of you and
grey fades to black.

The first time I tried it was when I was smaller and lighter, which
makes it easier and helps you to last longer. I remember hearing about
hanging in school and talking about it with some boys I knew. They
talked about the sexual aspects and people being hung naked. That part
turned me on. Being publicly stripped on the gallows and hung in the
nude. I wanted it so badly I came just thinking about it. It is
difficult to describe why I like this sort of game. Being stripped naked
and tied up and then hung by the neck. Nothing quite equals the thrill
as every inch of you burns. You struggle helplessly against the ropes
that hold your wrists tight. Your body twists and turns wantonly as you
try desperately to escape.

The best kind of tie up game is one just like this, the one you know you
cannot escape. The one done with no safeword, no chance for mercy, no
hope of reprieve. Being stripped naked in the woods and bound hand and
foot and the noose put around my neck. And all the while I pleaded for
mercy that I knew would never come. That was the day that made me. There
was no embarrassment in it for me. In fact my whole body purred. Being
naked had plugged my body into a socket and I was humming on high. I
didn't know why I liked it but I knew I did.

The first time I was hung was a part of a kidnap game and as usual,
being the only girl, I was the kidnappee. I was taken into the woods and
told to strip to my underpants. That was no big deal for a European girl
used to baring her chest on the beach. My wrists and ankles were bound.
We didn't have a gallows, of course. They threw a rope over a tree limb
and just tied the end around my throat. No noose or anything, just a
loop of clothesline around my throat. I stood on a pile of three
concrete blocks. Then they bound my ankles together. I knew they were
going to hang me naked because we had talked about it so it was no
surprise when they dropped my underpants to my ankles. I loved it. Loved
the way they stared at me hungrily. I had never been completely naked
before more than one guy at a time and here I was naked in front of a
whole group. I practically came just standing there

They just left me up there in the hot sun. Naked. For maybe an hour.
Just standing there on top of those blocks. I struggled to untie myself
but I couldn't struggle too much or else I might fall off and hang
myself. It seemed like I was up there forever and I slowly got more and
more scared. Finally I broke down and I cried and begged but they
wouldn't let me go. Then finally they figured I had suffered that way
enough and they knocked the blocks out from under me and I was hung.

Every inch of me screamed with pain. It was incredible as the full
weight of my body was transferred to my neck and the rope tightened
around it. It felt as if my head were being torn from my neck. I tried
to fight but fear seemed to seize me and I sort of just froze right
there in mid air. My body just released and I was stretched out full
length in mid-air. I felt the pain as my body weight took hold, the rope squeezed my throat shut and slowly the weight of my own body began to
squeeze the life out of me. Then I woke up suddenly and started to
struggle helplessly, desperately, futilely to get loose and to get some air.

I begged for help but it did not good, they just left me there. I tried desperately to free my hands as I dangled there. If only I could get my
wrists loose. But I couldn't. They had tied my wrists together and then
tied my bound wrists to a rope around my tummy. Slowly my body began to
weaken. Slowly every muscle began to burn with the pain. And slowly the
pain turned to numbness, my fear turned into fog, and as I weakened more
and more I slowly drifted toward blackness. Because I was so light it
took a couple of minutes before I finally passed out. In the last half a
minute I suffered terribly, every inch of my slight brown body in pain.
Slowly, slowly I was being choked to death. Every second seemed like an eternity. I begged for help with my last breath. Then everything went black

When I was in my early twenties I did have a relationship with a guy who
knew I was fascinated by hanging and one evening we tried it.

His bedroom luckily was one of those with an overhead beam. Before we
made love he had prepared with my help a very thick three coiled
hangman's noose from rough hemp. He swung it over the beam and was able
to hold the other end of the rope while on his back on his bed. I had
slipped on a very thick black woolen turtleneck sweater (you know I knit those), that was all. He tied my hands loosely behind my back with a
simple two slip knot looped strand of rope. I have to admit that by that
point I was sopping wet.

He then noosed me making sure the knot was under my left ear and able to
slide forwards. And then I mounted him. He was very, very, ready.

Without any further neck pressure it was incredible, but then he tugged
on the loose end of the rope. I gagged and choked and he swears I
started to violently rock on him like never before. He stayed inside me
and my body was not lifted off him. I do know I came with an explosion I
have never had before or since. I did not feel him come, I was just into
my own sensations which were indescribable. He told me he did come but
was just amazed by the violence of mine and how I spasmically clutched
him inside me. The pain drove me wild, I felt my head being pulled away,
but what went on inside me drove me wilder. He told me I lasted about 2
minutes without stopping my jerking and spasms, until he let the rope
become slack. I was so dazed I did not feel him loosening the noose at
first. Afterwards it hurt, badly. Headache and rope burn in spite of the sweater padding. I had to wear a turtleneck for 2 weeks. It was so
wonderful, but never again. I totally lost myself.

The first time I ever strangled another woman, I had just graduated from
high school. She was older than me (34) and very beautiful. She called
me her baby girl. When we were first making love, I would pay much
attention to her long neck especially her soft throat. Her larynx was
small and feminine but noticable. I played with it, stroking it with my
fingers and kissing it...this kind of play always turned her on.

We began to gently strangle each other after a while...nothing really
heavy though...more like caresses really. One day she handed me a new
silk scarf that she had just purchased and asked me to strangle her with
it. That got me wet immediately and we went to the bedroom so we could
watch this delicate operation in her triple panelled mirror she used for dressing.

I passed it around her graceful neck, my heart beating fast and my hands shaking a bit and gently began began to pull the scarf from both ends.
She wanted it tighter so I pulled it tighter...my eyes glued to her
neck, watching the scarf press up against her larynx. God, was this ever
hot!! We did this for a while until she had an explosive orgasm. During
it, her legs gave out so I immediately removed the scarf and tried to
hold on to her but she slipped from my grasp. On the floor she squirmed
around, still coming. My own clit was enveloped in flames of hot
cum...what an experience! We went back to our safer way of strangling
but that one is burned in my memory.

Mmmmm!!
(female poster):

Well first of all NEVER do it alone. If you pass out while hanging you
DIE. You must have someone there to let you down just in case you go too
far. Brain damage begins roughly around 4 minutes plus. It varies how
long a person can hang some just a matter of a few seconds other upwards
of two minutes. I have hanged for real and it is the greatest thing ever.

First I felt an incredible pounding in my head and chest. then my head
began to tingle and mys vission tunnel. The I got the greatst rush ever.
I like to go til I pass out then have a partner let me down. More then
what I said above can not be put into words.

Now is dispel some myths.

1. Some stories here in have the rope tightening slowly while the person
hangs. When a person is hanged the rope tightens in less then a second
or two. No breath is possible and no speech is either.

2. A person cannot go the length of time like some of the stories here.
I read where one woman hanged in a story was still kicking after 20
minutes. Medically not possible she would be brain dead long before
this. A person can hang no longer without passing out than they could
hold thier breath without passing out.
