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.

 THE STORY OF THE MAN NAMED GENERAL LEE" WHO WAS ACCUSED OF KNOCKING ...

 In 1904, a man named General Lee was accused of knocking on a white woman's door in Reevesville, South Carolina. He was lynched by a white mob


General Lee was lynched on January 13, 1904, near Reevesville, Dorchester County, South Carolina. He was an African American man, approximately thirty years old, with a wife named Henrietta and six children named Willie, Curtis, Bertha, Timothy, Nellie, and Lila. At the time of his death his estate did not exceed $50.

He reportedly had a bad reputation among the other African American people in his neighborhood, with The Manning Times reporting that members of his community expressed surprise that he had not been lynched earlier due to his behavior. He was accused of the attempted burglary and rape of Miss A.P. Wimberly, a white widow, in her home.

He had allegedly been stalking her at the store she owned before attempting to burglarize her home and rape her. Wimberly claimed that she frightened him away by her cries for help. Several pieces of evidence that indicated he was the assailant, including footprints that matched his shoes and step, were reported. Brass knuckles were found outside Wimberly’s door.

He was arrested and kidnapped from custody on the way to jail. A mob of about 50 unknown men hanged and shot him. Governor Heyward, moved by Lee’s lynching, delivered an anti-lynching message to the General Assembly on January 20, 1904. 

He recommended that the state pass special legislation that would give power back to law enforcement officials and provide more effective measures to apprehend lynchers who take the law into their own hands.

Heyward knew that he, as governor, did not have the power to create such legislation, so he also asked that the governor be given a fund for “suppressing lynching, accomplished by offering rewards for obtaining evidence against lynchers.
