In 1977, three young girls were killed at Camp Scott. Many obvious warning signs were ignored that could’ve prevented this tragedy. A suspect was arrested but questionable police work may have messed up the entire case. Most infuriating of all, parents of the victims found out their children were brutally murdered from seeing it on the news. The entire thing is a nightmare.

Domino's mascot from the 80s sparked a PR nightmare involving two employees being held hostage. The situation was so bizarre, Domino's never acknowledged it. Their other campaign "30 Minutes or Free" caused over 20 reckless driving deaths and multiple lawsuits.

The Salem Witch Trials began in 1692 after a few girls claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused local women of witchcraft. The hysteria spread, over 200 people were accused of being witches, and nineteen were executed by hanging. Is a family rivalry to blame? Were people losing their minds from ergot poisoning rye bread?
