Mystery- The Haunted Town Of St. Nazianz, WI

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...

THE HALIFAX GIBBET GUILLOTINE.

 THE HALIFAX GIBBET GUILLOTINE.

HALIFAX. WEST YORKSHIRE WAS A TOWN ONCE FEARED BY CRIMINALS FOR ITS USE OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT 





In Halifax Town Centre is the Halifax Gibbet Guillotine .
Long before the French Revolutionaries adopted the execution device known as the guillotine,  a similar device was in use in Halifax in West Yorkshire.  
Halifax was once part of the Manor of Wakefield,  where ancient custom and law gave the Lord of the Manor the authority to execute summarily by decapitation any theif caught with stolen goods to the value of 13p or more or who confessed to having stolen goods of at least that value, the law was swift and unforgiving and its notoriety spead throughout the country.  

HALIFAX WAS NOT THE PLACE TO STEAL. 

The Halifax Gibbet guillotine operated by either cutting the rope holding up the blade or by pulling out a pin which prevented it falling. 

If the offender was to be executed for stealing a animal,  the end of the rope was fastened to the pin holding the blade in place and tied to the animal which was then driven off causing the pin to pull out and the blade to drop. Otherwise the bailiff of the Lord of the Manor or his servant cut the rope. 

The Halifax Gibbet guillotine was only used on market days,  this would ensure that many people were in the town to witness the grim bloody executions and the hope was that the fearsome sight of the Halifax gibbet guillotine  would act as a deterrent to those who might have considered a life of crime.    . 

If a condemned prisoner escaped on the day of his/her execution and crossed the town boundary, then the person was safe as long as the condemned never returned to Halifax.  

In 1616, John Lacey did escape on his day of execution and he returned seven years later in 1623, he was recognised and arrested and then  executed on the Halifax gibbet guillotine.

Between 1541 to 1650 the official records show that 53 people (men and women) were executed by the Halifax Gibbet guillotine. 

It was last used to execute two criminals on 30th April 1650 . The Guillotine remained in use until Oliver Cromwell forbade capital punishment for petty theft. 

The orginal Guillotine blade is on display at the Halifax Bankfield Museum. 
The orginal Gibbet Guillotine orginally stood at the junction of Gibbet Street and Cow Green but it was moved a hundred yards away .

The area around the gibbet is reported of being supposedly haunted by the ghosts of criminals who were once executed there by the guillotine !

The horror they did to pragenet teens in camps. After searching the women pulling down their underwear. There's a private store room kept for the women, where they enjoyed their service, got most pragenet and killed the majority that can't satisfied them. Separate camps and compounds were set up exclusively for female prisoners who were considered strong enough for labor projects and menial chores. 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...
