Mystery- The Haunted Town Of St. Nazianz, WI St. Nazians was founded by a priest who wholeheartedly believed to helped cursed the town. Over the years, the town has been hit with natural disasters and unexplained phenomena. Father Ambrose Oschwald was fled to Wisconsin in 1854 from religious persecution. The Roman Catholic Church had suspended him from his duties due to “mystical, prophetic, and heretical works.” Already, the scary history of the town is starting to make sense! Oddly enough, the congregation followed him. Once they got to Wisconsin, a “divine white heifer” lead them to the site of his new home which would become St. Nazianz. The community actually thrived. They titled themselves “The Association” and created an entirely functional society. Tragically, Father Oschwald became sick in 1873. Anton Still, a loyal follower, stayed with Father Osc...

Fat men’s clubs were popular in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th century. 


In order to become a member, you had to weigh over 200 lbs (91 kg). During this time, male obesity was often seen in a positive light and a sign of economic success. Obese men were also viewed as good-natured and generous. 

These clubs also had their own mantras, ranging from "We're fat and we're making the most of it!" to "I've got to be good-natured; I can't fight and I can't run.” Members typically paid a fee of $1 a year and met twice a year. Members would participate in eating competitions and shower the heaviest members with prizes. These meetups also doubled as networking events. 

In 1904, The Boston Globe reported on one of their meetings:

"This village is full of bulbous and overhanging abdomens and double chins tonight, for the New England Fat Men's Club is in session at Hale's Tavern. The natives, who are mostly bony and angular, have stared with envy at the portly forms and rubicund faces which have arrived on every train."

Memberships began to decline as doctors began to associate obesity with poor health. The invention of the bathroom scale in 1917 was another reason for the decline as it  made weight measurement a private matter rather than a public spectacle.

Reason why the Nazis make people strip naked before being shot or gassed

 Reason why the Nazis make people strip naked before being shot or gassed Pictured:   A naked prisoner is led to an execution site, where others either have been shot already or forced to lie face down prior to being shot. The Nazis employed the dehumanizing practice of making people strip naked before being executed or subjected to gas chambers for several interconnected reasons. Firstly, it served to strip victims of their individuality and dignity. By forcing people to remove their clothing, the Nazis aimed to reduce them to mere numbers, degrading their humanity and making it easier for the perpetrators to view them as disposable entities rather than fellow human beings. Secondly, it facilitated the process of disposal and decontamination. Removing clothing reduced the risk of contamination from any potential chemicals or diseases, making it easier for the Nazis to manage the disposal of bodies and minimize the risks to the execution...

Dad replied: "Son, it's very cold outside and it's drizzling." The child looked surprised at his father and said: "But dad, people need to know about God even on rainy days." Dad replied, "Son, I'm not going outside in this weather." With despair, the child said: "Dad, can I go alone? Please!" His father waited for a moment and then said: "Son, you can go. Here's the flyers, be careful." "Thank you dad!" And with this, the son went out into the rain. The 11-Year-old walked all the streets of the village, handing out the flyers to the people he saw.
