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...

Among the many episodes of horrific brutality during the Civil War, the Great Hanging at Gainesville stands out as one of the worst.


There was considerable Unionist sentiment in North Texas following that state’s secession and widespread objection to the Confederate Conscription Act that went into effect in April 1862. 

Opposition to the draft led to rumors of a Unionist plot to seize state arsenals. In response to the rumors, Texas militia entered Cooke County in late September 1862 and arrested over 150 suspected Unionists, charging them with treason and insurrection. A “citizens court” was convened in Gainesville to try the accused.

During the first ten days of October, the vigilante “court” convicted and hanged seven of the accused, and two were killed while trying to escape. Meanwhile, the proceedings had attracted an angry mob to Gainesville, and on October 13 they seized and lynched 14 of the defendants, without benefit of trial. The following week, under pressure from the mob, the court re-tried 19 of the accused who had been acquitted, convicted them without any further evidence, and hanged them as well.

Altogether 44 men were hanged or shot, making it one of the largest mass executions in American history.

Nathaniel Clark was one of the prisoners lynched on October 13. He and his family had moved to Texas from Missouri in the early 1850’s.

 The inscription on his headstone reads: “Murdered by a Mob October 13, 1862. His last words to his companions: Prepare yourself to live and die. I hope to meet in a better world. God bless you all.” 

Nathaniel’s oldest son James was serving in the Confederate army at the time of his father’s murder, having been conscripted. When word arrived of what had happened, the company he was serving in (all North Texans) nearly mutinied. Several, including James, deserted.

James returned home to tend to his mother and family, then traveled to Missouri where he enlisted in the Federal Army. 

The Great Hanging of Gainesville occurred during October 1862. Nathaniel Miles Clark and 13 other men were lynched on October 13, one hundred sixty-one years ago today.

Sick ISIS savages film themselves burning two Turkish soldiers alive in disturbing new execution video after capturing them in Aleppo Sick ISIS savages have filmed themselves burning two Turkish soldiers alive having captured them in Aleppo. A disturbing video shows two men with freshly-shaved heads dressed in seemingly fuel-doused camouflage army gear taken out of a cage and walked like dogs to their death by Islamic State thugs. Standing barefoot in the middle of a desert, they are connected by the neck to a torched fuse which eventually engulfs their bodies in flames.  As news of the video reached Turkey, the government shut down social media outlets to stop the victims' countrymen seeing the exectuion.   The 19-minute video released by ISIS in the Aleppo Province starts with footage of terrorists fighting on the ground.  At the end of the clip, two men are taken from a cage in the middle of the desert.  They are walked like dogs by two ISIS militants, who ap...
