Private Lee Davis was hanged in a British prison in 1943. The execution chamber where the young American GI spent his final tragic moments is now a tourist destination, popular with "ghost hunters".

Was Private Davis sending a violent message, perhaps protesting at becoming the focus of such macabre entertainment?
