Murder at Matanzas Inlet | M.P. Pellicer

In 1875, Henry Keech came to St. Augustine, Florida and established a farm a few miles away at Matanzas Inlet, named for the massacre of French sailors decades before. Little did he imagine that death stalked him as well.


June 1875


Henry Keech came to St. Augustine from Wisconsin in 1873. He purchased a farm in St. John's county 14 miles from the old fort Matanzas Inlet. He was industrious and prospered. He came with a woman who all believed was his wife.

Dennis' Ghost | M.P. Pellicer

Abraham Lincoln is widely claimed to haunt the White House, but his cousin Dennis Friend Hanks (1799-1892), who lived with him in his childhood home in Indiana, was reputed to haunt the house he owned in Charleston, Illinois.


In 1965, Mr. and Mrs. Tycers moved into their newly-purchased, 14-room house largely to have a place for the antiques they had collected over the years.

The Roman Soldier's Grave | M.P. Pellicer

In June 1884, a fire hydrant was being laid before the library of the University of Vienna, and an unexpected discovery was made.

They found a Roman grave that had indications it had been opened before since the bricks on the top were broken.

It was walled up with large bricks bearing the inscription "Legio Decima Gemina" (The Twins' Tenth Legion). It was among the oldest units of the Imperial Roman Army, and one of four legions used by Julius Caesar in 58 BC when he invaded Gaul. There was reference to the legion in Vienna beginning in the 1st century A.D. It's symbol was a bull.

Haunted Waikumete Cemetery | M.P. Pellicer

Waikumete Cemetery is located in Auckland. It is the largest cemetery in New Zealand, and the second largest in the southern hemisphere. It covers almost 300 acres, and has over 70,000 burials. Is it little wonder that it has a fearsome reputation as being very haunted.

It was established in 1886, and the surrounding area grew around the hilly countryside it sits on. It replaced the Symonds Street Cemetery, which was the first official cemetery in Auckland in use from 1842.

Demon Busting in the 21st Century | M.P. Pellicer

Essential in exorcisms rites is backup, and the Vatican now uses all the modern tools at its disposal including a cellular phone to connect clergy to assistance and prayers.


Starting in 2018, a new tool was added to the arsenal of an exorcist's weapons—it's a cellular phone. Sprinkling holy water, chanting exorcism rituals in Latin are the cornerstone of the rites, but the Catholic Church must be inventive to meet the rising demands for exorcisms.

Could They Ever Be Let Out? | M.P. Pellicer

In March 2017, Franklin county officials found a grisly scene when they arrived at a house on U.S. Highway 64, Raleigh, North Carolina.


They were responding to a 911 call where a man called to say he had killed his own mother. What they found at the scene was all too horribly accurate. Eighteen-year-old, Oliver Mauricio Funes-Machado (Machada) had beheaded his own mother with a butcher knife. He was still holding her head when they arrived. He told the dispatcher that he had stabbed his mother "like eight times and left the knife in her mouth" and that he had committed the atrocity "because I felt like it". He had been released only a week before from a mental health facility, based on a court order.



Skull in the Sagebrush | M.P. Pellicer

A hunter in pursuit of an elk he'd just shot found the unexpected: a human skull in the middle of nowhere.


November 12, 2023, Wyoming

The sun-bleached bone stood out amongst the sagebrush in Wyoming's Red Desert that spans more than 9,000 square miles. On a map it's known as Area 118, and it literally is the middle of nowhere, just an expanse dotted with oil rigs and wells near Wamsutter, Wyoming. The lower jaw lay nearby, and nothing else—no more bones, no clothing.

It was Halloween, 1958, when off a dirt road on Skinner Ridge south of Grand Canyon National Park, the skeletal remains of a young girl were found. Her body was nude and it was estimated she had been there nine to fourteen months.

These Things Don't Happen in Nice Towns | M.P. Pellicer

Karen Klaas was raped and then strangled with a pantyhose. Despite the attention the case received since she had been married to Bill Medley from the Righteous Brothers, eventually the investigation went cold, and stayed that way for decades.

Karen was attacked on January 30, 1976. She lived in Hermosa Beach, California and had returned home at 9 a.m. after dropping off her son Damien at McMartin Preschool. Her older son was with his grandfather.

Chasing the Muddy Monster | M.P. Pellicer

During the summer of 1973, near the Big Muddy River on the outskirts of Murphysboro, there was a sighting of a tall, white-haired creature by residents of the town. Until this day, it remains an unsolved mystery.

After 50 years, the sighting of a white-haired, mud-caked creature seen by residents of Murphysboro stirs the imagination, but there are still no definitive answers as to what they saw.

The Bad Seed | M.P. Pellicer

The United States had gained its independence from Britain for only a few years, when a 19-year-old named Barnett Davenport came to work for a family on their farm. Little did they know they had allowed the devil in their midst, who later claimed he was haunted by thoughts of murder.


Barnett Davenport could be called a bad seed. He was born in 1760, and thievery came easily to him. By the time he was 15 years old he had a fearsome reputation as a robber.
 

The Babies' Corpses | M.P. Pellicer

In 2005, the Allegheny County coroner's office visited the McKeesport garage of Robert B. Winston, Jr. a former funeral director. As soon as they set foot inside the investigators knew they were dealing with death.


The odor was awful inside the detached garage at the 1800 block of Evans Avenue. The smell came from stacked boxes from which the smell was emanating, which were clearly labeled as fetal remains.

The Fate of the Marlborough | M.P. Pellicer

In 1913, a telegram was sent from New Zealand to London, which solved a 23-year-old mystery.


The Marlborough sailed from Lyttleton, New Zealand with several passengers and a crew of 33 under the command of Captain W. Hird in January, 1890. She was a vessel of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's fleet, measuring 228 feet long, 35 feet broad and 21 feet deep with 1124 tons. The ship carried a cargo of frozen mutton and wool.

The Hexed House | M.P. Pellicer

It was after 1912 that the first houses were built overlooking Benedict Canyon in Beverly Hills. A spacious, Bavarian-style house was constructed at 9820 Easton Drive in 1930 for Paul Bern, an MGM executive. Why grisly death was to become a familiar visitor there remains a mystery.


Completed when Prohibition was the law of the land, the architects hid a bar behind a book case. However there would be darker secrets the house would keep as the years passed.

The Tradition of All Souls' Day | M.P. Pellicer

All Souls' Day is celebrated November 2, and is dedicated to those have died and have not reached heaven. They are either in purgatory or unhappy ghosts.


There are three days that are frequently confused with dealing with the spirits of the departed: Halloween, October 31, which is believed to be when the veil is thinnest between this world, and those of the dead; All Saints is a church-wide holy day of obligation and normally celebrated on November 1, it’s also known as All Hallow’s Day, and it is dedicated to the saints and martyrs of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven; and November 2, All Souls' Day, is the one where remembrance is made of those that have died especially family members, but there are special efforts made to appease the ghosts of those who have no family and have been forgotten, because these spirits in their unhappiness can cause a lot of trouble for the living.

In July, 1919, the murder of a girl made the newspapers. Mostly because she was the victim of "morbid love" and that her name was Freda.
