A Devil Named Lemuel | M.P. Pellicer

Lemuel Smith was born into the least likely of bedeviled households on July 23, 1941. He was part of a strictly religious black family living in Amsterdam, New York. His father was a minister, and both of his parents lived in the household. There were no known reasons why Lemuel would have such a compulsion to kill, which according to him started as early as when he was twelve years old when he nearly smothered a nine-year-old girl to death.


The Smith household tasted grief prior to Lemuel's birth, when their son John Jr. died of encephalitis in 1939. Lemuel was the youngest of four children born to the couple.

Evil Never Dies | M.P. Pellicer

​​There is a place in Indiana. It's a spacious house sitting on several, wooded acres, which for many years became the final, but not restful place for young men, the victims of a ruthless killer.


His name was Herb Baumeister, born on April 7, 1947, the son of Dr. Herbert and Elizabeth Baumeister. He was one of four children. His father was an anesthesiologist who had been practicing since the late 1950s. One has to wonder what Dr. Baumeister thought of the oldest of his four children. His behavior was disturbing from an early age, but it became undeniable when he reached puberty. He started to develop a fascination with death, and wondered aloud what urine would taste like. He would chase his male classmates asking for a drink. Herb would torture animals and play with the corpses. Another time he took the carcass of a dead crow he found on the road, and placed it on his teacher's desk.

The Place Where Ponies Go To Die | M.P. Pellicer

Laden with memories, it's not surprising that a place has sprung up around a universal toy beloved of so many children.


The place is called Ponyhenge, and the rocking horse graveyard is only a dozen years old.




Evidence of Crucifixions | M.P. Pellicer

In ancient Rome, crucifixion was a painful way to execute criminals and slaves, and to remind the populace the consequences of breaking Roman laws. Rare archaeological evidence has been found through skeletal remains that confirm this type of execution.

Crucifixion did not originate with the Romans. The Assyrians, Phoenicians and Persians practiced this form of execution 1,000 yeas before the birth of Christ. It was introduced into western cultures from the east. Some Greeks used it, mostly the ones who had contact with Phoenicians and Carthaginians. After Alexander the Great died in 323 B.C., crucifixion was used by the Syrians and the Ptolemies who ruled Egypt.

Murrell's Protégée | M.P. Pellicer

The place was Sandtown Road, once known as the Sand Town Trail, near the West End in Atlanta where a man's skeleton was found. It was a swampy area, some distance from the road in a dense area of cane growth. Most noted that it was an "admirable spot for a murder."


Atlanta, April 12, 1897

The bones were found by a policeman's young son, and soon crowds flocked to the place. All believed the person was a victim of murder, with the body not fully decomposed. He appeared to have been a man of means. Near to the remains was a piece of a gold chain, a small silver ring and a dainty gold locket, which was in the man's pocket, and not discovered by his attacker, if theft was the motive.

Blind Tigers Always Keep their Secrets | M.P. Pellicer

Bones were found on the bank of the Miami Canal on April 12, 1917. The police immediately compared the crime to the murder of Eddy Kinsey, whose body had been discovered in similar circumstances a few months before.


What was left of the man was only a skeleton, with evidence that he was the victim of foul play. The bones were taken to Undertaker W.H. Combs. From the general appearance, the remains had been left on this lonely spot for about six months. It had been scattered by buzzards, which had cleaned away the flesh and only traces of garments were left behind. There was also a pair of tan shoes hardly used, which later were proven to have been purchased at an Avenue D shop. A burned buckle showed that he wore a leather belt around his waist.

The Bones at Ponce Park | M.P. Pellicer

White cottages were found under the live oaks at Ponce Park, which was known for being the haven of women with children, and anglers who came to fish. This normally placid place was stirred up when seven skeletons were discovered by postmaster Frank Stone when he dug up his back lot.


PONCE PARK, DAYTONA, FEBRUARY 1, 1915

Stone had been "grubbing" some palmetto, live oak and bay bushes near the east line of his property, and along the road leading south to the Ponce de Leon Inlet lighthouse. He broke the skull with his hoe, and once he realized it was a cranium he began a careful excavation. The entire skeleton was unearthed, and he kept digging and finally exhumed seven skeletons.

THE BLACK LADY OF TAMWORTH CASTLE | M.P. Pellicer

Tamworth has many ghosts that are said to be haunting it's ancient walls, but two of the most famous are the Black Lady and the White Lady.


Tamworth Castle is of Norman mote & bailey design with a shell keep. The present stone structure replaced the first timber tower surrounded by a palisade, which was built shortly after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The land of the former Saxon burgh was given to Robert de Despencer by William, and it subsequently passed through marriage into the Marmion family. Numerous additions and alterations were made to the castle by succeeding generations of owners, until the late 1890's, when Marquis Townshend decided to sell the Castle by auction.





The Skeleton at Constant Street | M.P. Pellicer

On Halloween, 1900, Sanitary Chief George Walker made a startling discovery while conducting a house to house inspection. He came upon the skeleton of a woman. It was in the rear of a vacant house at 817 Constant Street, Tampa. This neighborhood was known as the Scrub.


The bones were not white and polished such as the one ones used by physicians or medical students. They were dark and a little charred, as if the flesh had been recently burned from them. Wisps of wavy, fine reddish brown hair still clung to the skull.

The Dead Man at Devil's Elbow | M.P. Pellicer

What was left was just a skeleton found in a pine stand at a place called the Devil's Elbow.


October 30, 1886, Palatka, Florida

A boy hunting found him. His head lay to the roots of the pine tree, and his flesh had been completely stripped off by animals and buzzards. The condition of the clothes indicated he had been dead several months, and that he might have been the victim of the prior winter's freeze.

The Mystery of the French Shipwreck

One of the greatest mysteries of the Great Lakes' region is the fate of the ghost ship Le Griffon, which disappeared in 1679, while on its maiden voyage.


The vessel was built by Rene-Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle (1643-1687), a French explorer who hoped to find a route through the Great Lakes in order to reach Asia. Built on the Niagara River, she was a ship of 60 tons burden, and fitted with two masts.

Murder at Matanzas Inlet | M.P. Pellicer

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

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.
