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...

Topless women caught munching on deer carcass in bizarre CCTV footage Bizarre security camera footage shows two scantily-clad women appearing to feast on a deer carcass in the middle of the night. A nurse and nature lover in Canada reportedly captured footage of what she said appeared to be “two witches holding a carcass-eating ritual” with a camera she set up near her home. “I don’t know what the heck was up with that,” Corinea Stanhope, 36, of Powell River, British Columbia, told Kennedy News. “It really freaked us out, it’s not something you see every day.” After coming across a deer carcass in a garden on her property, Stanhope said she set up the camera to surveil any animals that might take interest in the dead deer. “Me and my grandpa put up a trail camera to see if we could see animals, and we got a bobcat [on camera], which was pretty cool,” she said, adding that her 76-year-old grandfather, Bob, was horrified when he checked the footage and saw what appeared to be scantily-cl...

THE TERRIBLE MASSACRE OF KONDOMARI "THE EXECUTION OF MALE CIVILIANS" The Massacre of Kondomari (Greek: Σφαγή στο Κοντομαρί) was an execution of male civilians from the village of Kondomari in Crete by an ad hoc firing squad consisting of German paratroopers on 2 June 1941 during World War II. The shooting was the first of a series of reprisals in Crete.  It was orchestrated by Generaloberst Kurt Student, in retaliation for the participation of Cretans in the Battle of Crete which had ended with the surrender of the island two days earlier.  The massacre was photographed by Franz-Peter Weixler, a German army war propaganda correspondent, whose negatives were discovered 39 years later in the Federal German archives by a Greek journalist.

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF IFUGAO TRIBLE FILIPINO HEAD HUNTING HUMAN TROPHY SKULL

Ifugao Tribe Filipino Head Hunting Human Trophy Skull  Late 19th Century. Circa 1890 The Spanish had great difficulty in taking over Ifugao, like most of the Cordilleras due to the fierce belief of the Cordillera people of their rights since ancient times.  The Ifugao battled colonizers for hundreds of years, even after the state was colonized and was transformed into a part of Nueva Viscaya province of the Spanish-administered Philippines. In 1891, the Spanish government established Quiangan as a comandancia-politico-militar for the Ifugao area.  The Spanish occupation in the province ended with the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution.  The headhunting practice has been the subject of intense study within the anthropological community, where scholars try to assess and interpret its social roles, functions, and motivations.  Anthropological writings explore themes in headhunting that include mortification of the rival, ritual violence, cosmological balance, t...

What is something that most people don't know?

Image
What is something that most people don't know? Ever wonder why most staircases in medieval castles were built to be extremely narrow and spiraling in a clockwise direction? Since medieval castles were built mainly as fortifications, staircases were designed to make it extremely difficult for enemy combatants to fight their way up. Since most soldiers were right-handed, they would need to round each curve of the inner wall before attempting to strike, inevitably exposing themselves in the process. The clockwise spiral staircase also allowed the defenders to use the inner wall as a partial shield and easily allow them to swing their weapon without being hindered by the curvature of the outer wall. The stairs were also intentionally poorly lit and built to be uneven, making it even more difficult for the attackers to gain any sort of balance or momentum during their fight up to capture the castle.

What is the bravest thing a child has done?

What is the bravest thing a child has done? A three-year-old girl fell into an abandoned well 20 meters deep. The diameter of the well was only 30 centimeters. Since the well was too small, the firefighters could not go down to save her in any way. If they had used an excavator at that time, it would have taken too long, too much. That day, a volunteer had brought his son with him and said that the boy could try to save the girl. The boy was 14 years old and his name is Min Ran. To not worry everyone, he lied saying that he was 17 years old. The firefighters informed him of the possible dangers. Min Ran and his parents said they were willing to take all possible risks. He tried five times but without success. The first and second time he had to come out to readjust the descent angle. The third time he told the girl not to be afraid, I'm here to save you. The fifth time he heard the girl tell him not to go. He comforted the girl by telling her not to be afraid, I will come back soon...

The horrible Execution of Anne Boleyn.

The horrible Execution of Anne Boleyn. On May 19, 1536, Anne Boleyn, the infamous second wife of King Henry VIII, is executed on charges including adultery, incest and conspiracy against the king. Catherine of Aragon: King Henry had become enamored of Anne Boleyn in the mid-1520s, when she returned from serving in the French court and became a lady-in-waiting to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Dark-haired, with an olive complexion and a long, elegant neck, Anne was not said to be a great beauty, but she clearly captivated the king.  As Catherine had failed to produce a male heir, Henry transferred his hopes for the future continuation of his royal line to Anne, and set about getting a divorce or annulment so he could marry her. For six years, while his advisers worked on what became known as “the King’s great matter,” Henry and Anne courted first discreetly, then openly—angering Catherine and her powerful allies, including her nephew, Emperor Charles V. In 1532, the savvy and...

Human zoos Paris 1878. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Human zoos Paris 1878 In the late 19th and early 20th centuries,  the Western world was desperate to see the “savage,” “primitive” people described by explorers and adventurers scouting out new lands for colonial exploitation.To feed the frenzy, thousands of indigenous individuals from Africa, Asia  and the Americas were brought to the United States and Europe, often under dubious circumstances, to be put on display in a quasi-captive life in “human zoos.” Human zoos could be found in Paris, Hamburg, Antwerp, Barcelona, London, Milan, and New York City.   Carl Hagenbeck, a merchant in wild animals and future entrepreneur of many zoos in Europe, decided in 1874 to exhibit Samoan and Sami people as “purely natural” populations.   In 1876, he sent a collaborator to the Egyptian Sudan to bring back some wild beasts and Nubians.  The Nubian exhibit was very successful in Europe and toured Pa...
