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...

Learn more about Amon Goeth, the sadistic "Butcher of Płaszów,"

The Nazi commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp, Amon Goeth was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 10,000 people during the Holocaust, some of whom he personally murdered himself. Even more frightening, there was no way for prisoners at the camp to know when — or why — Goeth would carry out an execution. Camp survivors later reported that he killed prisoners for looking him in the eye, walking too slowly, and serving him soup that was too hot. It's little wonder why the commandant was portrayed as the main villain in the epic historical drama "Schindler's List," but the real Goeth was even crueler than his movie counterpart.⁠ Learn more about Amon Goeth, the sadistic "Butcher of Płaszów," Amon Leopold Göth (German: [ˈɡøːt] (listen); alternative spelling Goeth; 11 December 1908 – 13 September 1946) was an Austrian SS functionary and war criminal.

Before they even reach adulthood, Iran is ending their lives. There are scores of young offenders on death row in Iran, and the authorities are continuing to sentence them to death. Girls as young as nine can be sentenced to execution; for boys it’s 15. At least 73 young offenders were executed between 2005 and 2015. And the authorities show no sign of stopping this horrific practice. We have the details of 49 people on Iran’s death row who were under 18 at the time of the crime they are alleged to have committed.
