Mystery- The Haunted Town Of St. Nazianz, WI

Image
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...

Photo of slave wearing collar device Wilson Chinn Slave collars made of iron were used to discipline and identify slaves who were considered risks of becoming runaways. This broken collar once had three prongs. Abolitionist Theodore Weld in his provocative treatise American Slavery As It Is described the use of a similar collar on a spirited slave near Charleston, South Carolina, who served her mistress as a seamstress: “A handsome mulatto woman, about eighteen or twenty years of age, whose independent spirit could not brook the degradation of slavery, was in the habit of running away.” For this offence, she was repeatedly and severely whipped, and a “heavy iron collar, with three long prongs projecting from it, was placed round her neck, and a strong and sound front tooth was extracted, to serve as a mark to describe her, in case of escape Wilson Chinn (fl. 1863) was an escaped American slave from Louisiana who became known as the subject of photographs documenting th...

The story of the second woman executed in Pa Corrine Sykes, left, was a 22-year-old African American housemaid who became the second woman in Pennsylvania to die under the death penalty, in 1946. She was electrocuted. At right, Pennsylvania's electric chair in the early '50s. The same chair was used in all Pennsylvania executions. The large ventilator hood withdrew the smoke from burning skin Seventy-five years ago this month, Corrine Sykes walked “the last mile” to Pennsylvania’s electric chair in a gray jumper and white bobby socks. She was a 22-year-old African American housemaid with a mental age of 8 She was convicted of sinking a large kitchen knife into her new employer’s heart, then dismembering her finger in a frantic struggle to snatch a two-karat diamond ring. Sykes naively confessed to Freeda Wodlinger’s murder: “After I stabbed her, I took the rings off her fingers. I sure like jewels.”

What was this evil POS’s justification for such a horrid crime? The boy whistled at a woman. That was it. Nothing else On the Eve of August 28, 1955 John Milam and his half brother Roy Bryant drove to Mose Wright’s house at 2:30 AM.

Death row in wartime: British Pathe releases harrowing archive footage of executions during conflicts across the world

Death row in wartime: British Pathe releases harrowing archive footage of executions during conflicts across the world Executions were sometimes filmed, but not shown to public by Pathe The footage went straight to archive as it was deemed too harrowing With his sweaty hands bound behind his back and his face covered with a blindfold, the man's body convulsed as bullets riddled his torso. He was one of several Germans killed by a US military firing squad just outside the town of Braunschweig, Germany in 1945 because he deemed a spy. However two of the spies lined up in the disused quarry were in fact simply members of the Hitler youth, aged just 16 and 17 years old. They were gunned down and then dragged into the coffins which were in the ground nearby. The harrowing scene is just one of several images of death row in war time released by British Pathe. The film archive states: 'While Pathe didn’t shy away from screening very real and very harrowing footage of say t...

The Takenaga incident was a surrender by an Imperial Japanese Army battalion that occurred on 3 May 1945, near the end of the Pacific War. The battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Masaharu Takenaga, surrendered to the Australian Army in eastern New Guinea. This was extremely unusual for the Japanese Army, where surrender was seen as highly dishonourable. Australian soldiers attacking the Japanese Army in Wewak District, June 1945 In the New Guinea campaign, the Eighteenth Army of Japan were left behind the Allied front, and although their position was of no strategic value, they still continued to fight. After United States forces crushed the 18th Army's counteroffensive in the Battle of Driniumor River, the Japanese were left alone. However, when the Australian Army took over the New Guinea campaign in the second half of 1944, they decided to do a thorough cleanup of the remaining Japanese forces. The strength of the Japanese forces was greatly weakened, as th...

THE HORRIBLE AND WORST EXECUTION AT STUTTHOF CONCENTRATION CAMP GUARD 72 years ago today eleven members of the staff of Stutthof Concentration Camp were hanged. Stutthof concentration camp, 34 km. from Danzig , was the first concentration camp created by the Nazis outside Germany, in September 1939. From June 1944, Stutthof became a death camp as part of Hitler's programme of exterminating European Jews. It expanded rapidly over its five year life and had many satellite camps. This expansion required  a commensurate increase in staff and local people with Nazi sympathies were recruited. Altogether some 110,000 men, women and children were sent to Stutthof. It is estimated that as many as 65,000 of these were put to death in the gas chamber or by hanging or shooting, while many more died of disease and ill treatment. The camp was liberated by the Russians on May 10th, 1945 and the Commandant, Johann Pauls, and some of his staff were put on trial by the Polish Special Law Cour...
