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 next form of garrotte comprised a wooden stool on which the prisoner sat with his back to the post (pictured). In some later instances a strong wooden chair was used.  

The condemned was strapped at the wrists, arms, waist and legs and the hinged iron collar closed around their neck. A screw operated by a handle or a weighted lever connected to a spike or a small star shaped blade ran through the post.

When the screw/lever mechanism was operated, the blade entered the criminal's neck and severed the spinal column, in an attempt to ensure that the prisoner did not strangle to death.

reported that the spike of the garrotte pierced her neck and protruded through her mouth.

Afterwards, as customary, her body was taken away, stripped naked (the clothes went to charity), wrapped in a bedsheet, and placed in a cheap pine coffin for burial. 

 Twenty eight year old Higinia Balaguer, a Spanish maid, became the last woman to suffer public garrotting when she was executed on July the 19th, 1890 at 4.00 a.m., for her part in a robbery murder. 

 Her execution took place before several thousand spectators at the “Field of the Guards” in Madrid.  The actual garotte was mounted on the platform of scaffold about five feet high, reached by seven steps.  

Public execution ended in Spain with the garrotting of Lluis Más and three others, on the 4th of May 1897 in Barcelona.  Silvestre Lluis became the first to suffer in private when he was garrotted in Barcelona for a murder on the 15th of June 1897.

The last female garrotting took place on May the 19th, 1959, that of 28 year old Pilar Prades Expósito Santamaria, who was executed

in Valencia for the murder by poisoning, of her employer, Doña Adela Pascual Camps, on the 18th of May 1955.

  She was put to death by Snr. A. López Guerra. All three female post Civil War executions were for poisoning, the other two being 23 year old María Domínguez Martínez,

who had also poisoned her employer and was executed on the 23rd of May 1949 in Huelva and Teresa Gómez Rubio who suffered on the 16th of February 1954 in Valencia for three murders committed in 1940/1.
