Crime with K

In 1692, the Massachusetts Bay Colony executed fourteen women, five men, and two dogs for witchcraft. The sorcery materialized in January. The first hanging took place in June, the last in September; a stark, stunned silence followed. Although we will never know the exact number of those formally charged with having “wickedly, maliciously, and feloniously” engaged in sorcery, somewhere between a hundred and forty-four and a hundred and eighty-five witches and wizards were named in twenty-five villages and towns. The youngest was five; the eldest nearly eighty. Husbands implicated wives; nephews their aunts; daughters their mothers; siblings each other. 

And much more... learn the advent of BURN BOOK which Inspired 'Mean Girls'. And how witchcraft is the reason for women couture not having pockets for decades ultimately suffering post effects of Salem Witch Trials.

The men intended to rob the upscale home of the respected doctor, William Petit Jr.; his wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, a former nurse who had recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; and their two daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. However, the burglary quickly transformed into a terrifying home invasion that included multiple acts of assault and ended with arson.

When we were introduced to Freddy Krueger in 1984, the first graphic and gravity-defying death scene had us hooked. We immediately knew that The Springwood Slasher was what nightmares are made of. What many of us didn’t realize, though, is that a terrifying true story actually inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street. 

Krueger was never really marketed as being based on a true story. Our pal Wes Craven probably didn’t want to do that much damage to our psyches. The documented events that led to Krueger’s inception, however, are almost as terrifying as what we witnessed in Springwood. In the end, it’s the unknowns that are most unsettling.

This isn’t for the faint-hearted. Cults across America have committed some of the most bizarre ritual murders you’ll ever hear of. Brutal and grisly, these killings will turn your stomach and make you wonder what humans are really capable of. These cults have either convinced people or taken people to be part of their sometimes occultish, sometimes otherworldly plans, so you might want to think twice next time when you want to sign up for a suspicious seeming group activity.

At the very end of August through early September of 1944, Mattoon, Illinois, was visited by the infamous Mad Gasser, a mysterious prowler who attacked residents with a debilitating chemical.  Often chalked up to mass hysteria, many residents claimed to have witnessed the Mad Anesthetist firsthand. Tune in for a truly bizarre piece of Illinois History!
