    24: Well, There’s a Curse

    Some may argue that curses only hold sway over those who believe in them, but this story proves that they can manifest as real and tangible threats. In 1921, when Carl Loges ignored a curse that had been cast upon his dream farm, he soon found himself in the grip of a malevolent spirit. The farm turned into a living nightmare and Carl was desperate for help. A premonition eventually led to a murder conviction, and with that, the curse was broken and the nightmare came to an end.

    22: Easter Murders by the Mad Sculptor

    Easter is a celebration of spring associated with renewal and rebirth. It has been a special day for thousands of years, tracing back to its ancient Pagan origins called Eostre. Celebrating this occasion is an inherent trait of humanity, bringing happiness to most of us. However, for some, it may be a period of unrest and sometimes even violence. A tragic example is Robert George Irwin, also called, The Mad Sculptor, who took the day as an opportunity to claim the lives of three innocent people in 1937.

    20: The Sodder Children Disappearance

    Experiencing a house fire can be one of the most devastating events in anyone's life. The suddenness of the fire, the helplessness one feels while watching their home and all their possessions go up in flames, and the aftermath of the disaster can leave a lasting impact on anyone. In the aftermath of the fire, one has to deal with losing their home, possessions, and even more devastating, a loved one who was unable to escape the flames. Although house fires can reach extreme temperatures, they cannot completely disintegrate a human body. There is always something left behind in the ash. That was, until the disappearance of the Sodder children in 1945.

    19: The Ghost Bomber

    When we think about planes disappearing, the most common place we think of is the Bermuda Triangle.  The last place we believe an entire plane could vanish would be a river that is only twenty feet deep!  But sixty-eight years ago, that’s precisely what happened.  To this day, the wreckage of the B-25 Ghost Bomber plane remains unknown, along with the real reason for the flight in the first place.
