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...

 African mine workers were x-rayed by radiologists at the end of each shift before leaving the De Beers diamond mines in Kimberley, South Africa, 1954. This was done to prevent even the smallest of diamonds from being smuggled out of the mine via the stomach.


Diamonds were first discovered in South Africa in 1867. The son of a farmer by the name of Daniel Jacobs collected what he thought were shiny stones along the bank of the Orange River. 

Other kids in the neighboring Villages would use the stones to play games. Soon, they caught the eye of a neighbor named Schalk van Nieker who offered to buy one for money. The boy's mother laughed and just gave it to him.

Nieker passed the stone around to a few people to see if it had any value. It soon ended up in the hands of a physician and amateur geologist by the name of W.G. Atherstone who came to the conclusion that  it was a 21.25 carat diamond. Once the governor of Cape Colony purchased the diamond for £500, news began to spread throughout the region, and prospectors started to congregate in hopes of striking it rich.

Two Englishmen by the name of Cecil J. Rhodes and Barney Barnato decided to buy up the mines in the area. In 1888, they combined their holdings to create De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, establishing its headquarters in Kimberley, South Africa.

Most of the people who ended up working in the mines were Black migrant workers. Most of their lands had been seized by British colonists, and they had no other means of making a living, other than to work in the mines for subsistence wages. 

Between 1897 and 1899, more than a thousand Black laborers died due to mining accidents and a host of disease-related illnesses.

The precursors to apartheid began to really take root in the city of Kimberley in which communities were divided up by ethnicities, and mixed marriages became outlawed. 

Certain public areas were reserved for "European Only," and the movement of African people was heavily restricted. Apartheid only came to an end in the early 1990s.

The largest women’s camp was Ravensbrück (near Berlin), where nearly 120,000 women from across Europe were sent. An estimated 50,000 women died there between 1939 and 1945. A special women’s section was also created in Auschwitz-Birkenau, where 34,000 women died between 1942 and 1943.

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...
