Electric carpet

Electric carpet

The Electric Carpet is the archetypical example of device used in hazing, and has been, at least popularly, associated with Freemasonry. It is a mat through which electric current can be run and people are forced to stand or walk on it. The torture could last hours and the volts could range from 500 to 500,000.
