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...

Was there anyone who ever lived through the Nazi gas chambers?

Was there anyone who ever lived through the Nazi gas chambers? No, hardly any people could survive the gassing in concentration camps. Once you were sent there, it meant you’d be put to death. The Nazis fooled the prisoners, especially newly admitted prisoners, into believing they were being taken for showering. They offered them work and food and even to ask them to note their memory on where they deposited their clothes so they could retrieve it in future after showering. Guards were smiling and even engaging in light conversations with the people to avoid increase in tensions. After that, everybody undressed then they were gased inside the chambers. The doors were closed and barred securely. It was then those same people knew something was off. Panic spread quickly. Everyone screamed and knocked on the doors, but there was no chance to escape. A special team from the SS arrived carrying cans containing crystals of the different cyanide called Zyklon B. They threw the crystals over t...

The origin of the bridal bouquet, the brides carried bouquets of flowers near their bodies to cover odor.

The origin of the bridal bouquet, the brides carried bouquets of flowers near their bodies to cover odor. When visiting the Palace of Versailles in Paris, it is observed that the sumptuous palace has no bathrooms. In the Middle Ages, there were no toothbrushes, perfumes, deodorants, and much less toilet paper. Human excrements were thrown out of palace windows. On a holiday, the palace kitchen was able to prepare a feast for 1500 people, without the minimum hygiene. In today’s movies we see people from that era shaking or fanning… The explanation is not in the heat, but in the foul odor emitted under the skirts (which were deliberately made to contain the smell of private parts, since there was no hygiene). It was also not customary to shower due to the cold and the almost non-existence of running water. Only the nobles had lackeys to fan them, to dispel the bad odor that exhalated the body and mouth, as well as to scare away the insects. Those who have been t...

23 July 1944, 19-year-old French communist resistance fighter Madeleine Riffaud saw a German military officer taking a walk over a bridge on the river Seine in Paris and got off her bicycle. As he looked at the Louvre, she took out her gun and shot him twice in the head, killing him. As she cycled away, she was pursued and knocked off her bike by French collaborators in a car. Riffaud tried to shoot herself to avoid torture but was captured and handed over to the $$. She was beaten repeatedly, escaped but was recaptured and deported to a concentration camp. There, she was released in a prisoner swap, and took part in the armed uprising which liberated the city in August. She later recounted to Agence France-Presse in an interview, “It was joyous… People were falling in love and kissing each other without knowing each other. After years of having to do everything in secret, we could fight in the open.” Riffaud survived the war and later became a journa...

Honouring the Veterans of The Battle of Kapelsche Veer Operation Elephant was an attack by the First Canadian Army to clear a small island north of the Maas River in the Netherlands, known as Kapelsche Veer. This is where German Paratroopers had set up a strong defensive position. The Canadian regiments dealt with difficult conditions and suffered high casualities, but on the morning of January 31 1945, the German paratroopers evacuated the island. The Lincoln and Welland Regiment with the support of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada and the South Alberta Regiment, were to clear the island by January 31, 1945.

In April 1981, the body of a young white woman was found in a ditch on Greenlee Road in Newton Township, Ohio. She was wearing a buckskin poncho, so investigators called her the "Buckskin Girl." That same day, her body was examined. It was found that she had suffered serious injuries to her head and neck before being strangled to death about 48 hours before her body was found. Despite many years of hard work by investigators, the identity of the Buckskin Girl remained unknown for over 30 years. On April 9, 2018, the Miami Valley Regional Crime Laboratory announced that they had identified the woman as 21-year-old Marcia Lenore King from Little Rock, Arkansas. Marcia had last been seen by her family in 1980. Although she wasn’t officially reported missing, her family had kept searching for her. The identification was made possible by detailed DNA testing. Sadly, the person who caused her death has still not been found.

Georgette Thomas and her husband - the parricides guillotined. Georgette Thomas (aged 25) and her husband, Sylvain Henri Thomas, (aged 30) were guillotined in public at 7.30 a.m. on the 24th of January 1887, at the Place d’Armes in Romorantin near Blois, 100 miles south of Paris, before some 2,000 people. The couple had burned to death Georgette’s mother, Marie Lebon, on the 29th of July, 1886 on the family farm in Selles-Saint-Denis in front of their three children.  The old lady was doused in oil and then forced into the fireplace and set on fire.  They thought the mother was a witch and blamed her for poor harvests that they had been experiencing. At their trial on the 22nd of November 1886, the star witness was their eight year old daughter, Eugenie, who told the court everything that she had seen her parents do to her grandmother. Alexander and Alexis Lebon, Georgette’s brothers and accomplices received life sentences for their parts in the crime. A large num...

In These Stunning Images, Ordinary Yugoslav Partisans Captured Their Revolution on Camera

In These Stunning Images, Ordinary Yugoslav Partisans Captured Their Revolution on Camera Most of the fighters who joined the partisan struggle in World War II Yugoslavia had never even held a camera, let alone considered themselves photographers. Yet organized efforts to create a “partisan photography” helped carry the image of their struggle to the masses — and showed that artistic production wasn’t just for professionals. One of the few photos taken in color shows girls from Bukovica, Croatia, who brought clothes and food to the partisans in 1944. Author: Živko Gattin. Between 1941 and 1945, the partisan fight led by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia grew into Europe’s biggest popular uprising against fascism. The people’s liberation struggle fought not only against the German and Italian occupation, but also the domestic traitors and collaborators of the Ustaše and the Chetniks. This was, at the same time, a fight for social revolution, the democratization of the economy, and the c...

MY MIL TRIED ON MY $3K WEDDING DRESS AND RUINED IT – SHE REFUSED TO PAY, SO I USED A SECRET WEAPON. MY MIL TRIED ON MY $3K WEDDING DRESS AND RUINED IT – SHE REFUSED TO PAY, SO I USED A SECRET WEAPON. I (26F) and my fiancé (28M) are planning an October wedding. My future MIL had been pestering me about my wedding dress but declined when I invited her to join me for shopping. I went with my mom and found the perfect dress—expensive but worth it. Yesterday, I came home from my mom's house to find my fiancé and my dress missing. I immediately called him, knowing he must have taken it to show his mom, as she had been demanding to see it and refused to accept pictures. When he returned, I was horrified—the dress was DAMAGED: the zipper was broken, the fabric stretched, and it was clear his mom had TRIED IT ON. When I demanded that my MIL and fiancé pay for a new dress, she LAUGHED and refused to replace it, saying she would only pay to fix the zipper. I was fur...

The Execution of Irma Grese

Image
The Execution of Irma Grese Irma Grese, often referred to as the "Hyena of Auschwitz," remains one of the most infamous female figures associated with Nazi war crimes. Her name is synonymous with the brutality that characterized the Holocaust, and her execution marked the end of a young life steeped in unimaginable cruelty. Early Life and Rise to Power Born on October 7, 1923, in Wrechen, Germany, Irma Grese grew up in a tumultuous household. Her mother committed suicide when Grese was only 13 years old, an event that had a profound impact on her. At 15, she left school and initially worked as a nurse, but soon became captivated by Nazi ideology. By the age of 19, she had joined the SS and was assigned to work at the Ravensbrück concentration camp as a guard. Her rise within the ranks of the SS was swift and alarming. Grese was later transferred to Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most notorious concentration camps, where she quickly gained a reputation for her...

Reason why the Nazis make people strip naked before being shot or gassed

Reason why the Nazis make people strip naked before being shot or gassed Pictured: A naked prisoner is led to an execution site, where others either have been shot already or forced to lie face down prior to being shot. The Nazis employed the dehumanizing practice of making people strip naked before being executed or subjected to gas chambers for several interconnected reasons. Firstly, it served to strip victims of their individuality and dignity. By forcing people to remove their clothing, the Nazis aimed to reduce them to mere numbers, degrading their humanity and making it easier for the perpetrators to view them as disposable entities rather than fellow human beings. Secondly, it facilitated the process of disposal and decontamination. Removing clothing reduced the risk of contamination from any potential chemicals or diseases, making it easier for the Nazis to manage the disposal of bodies and minimize the risks to the executioners themselves. Thirdly, it amplifi...
