Who Is This

The Hungarian settlement of Sződliget is often called “Witch Village” due to it’s eerie atmosphere. It is a small waterside town with only a couple of inhabitants, and fog gathers on the lake most nights.

In 1960, Felice Quinto “the king of paparazzi,” snapped photographs of actress Anita Ekberg and a married movie producer sharing a kiss. He later stood outside her home, hoping to snap more incriminating photos. Instead, Anita emerged from her home armed with a bow and arrow and shot towards Felice. She managed to shoot him in the hand.

William Utermohlen was an American artist diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. In response to the illness, he began to paint a series of self-portraits. The result is a crushing depiction of his descent into dementia. They provide a stark insight into the devastating effects that the disease has. As he struggled to keep in touch with the world surrounding him, his works became flatter and more abstract. They lacked the details and spatial sense that his art had early on in his diagnosis. By 2000, his memory and technical skills had deteriorated so much that his final heartbreaking portrayal was little more than a scribbled skull. He passed away in 2007 “but it wasn’t him by then,” said his widow, Patricia.

This photograph of a 1940s German U-Boat appears to show an extinct Megalodon floating along side it. The existence of the gigantic shark has been disputed by many, but a lot of scientists say there’s evidence to support the fact that they may still be out there.

As it turned out, Julian had killed his wife to pick up the insurance money and killed Terry Jo’s family as a way to cover up the murder. Terry Jo later said she believed that Julian hadn’t killed her because he expected her to sink with the yacht. After discovering that Terry Jo was still alive, Julian committed suicide.

Winton was responsible for organising eight trains full of children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to London in 1939. While supporters in Britain were working to get Jewish intellectuals and communists out of Czechoslovakia, nobody was attempting to save the children so Winton took it on himself. Once Winston secured their escape, he travelled to Britain where he persuaded British officials to accept the children as long as foster homes were found. In all, Winton saved the lives of 669 children. He was not recognised for his achievements until 60 years later because he kept quiet about his exploits. In 2003, he received a knighthood from the queen for his services to humanity.

Nicknamed Dead Children’s Playground, this eerie playground is situated right in the middle of Maple Hill Cemetery. Non-surprisingly, it’s claimed that this ghostly playground is haunted by the many children buried in the one-hundred-acre cemetery in which is it situated. People have often reported hearing disembodied laughs and chants of children as the swings randomly move; the playground is said to be most active with obscure occurrences between 10:00PM and 3:00AM. Legend says that a number of children were abducted in the 1960′s and their slain bodies were dumped in the area of Dead Children’s Playground.

Joliet Correctional Center (Formerly known as the Illinois State Penitentiary) was a prison for men, located in Joliet, Illinois, about 40 miles SW of Chicago. The prison appears in several films and T.V. Shows, including The Blues Brothers, Natural Born Killers, Stir of Echoes, and Prison Break. The penitentiary was built in 1858 through convict labor, and housed POWs during the civil war. After the construction of Stateville prison in 1925, Joliet prison was supposed to have closed down, but remained in operation until 2002. By then, the building was crumbling and would have cost more to repair than to shut down and simply replace. The facility still stands today, but is abandoned and protected only by fences which do not keep everybody out. Because the facility is still owned by the Illinois Department of Corrections, if the police observe trespassers inside the building, they call Stateville prison, who send over correctional officers to kick them out. The city of Joliet has expressed interest in turning the prison into a tourist attraction, but due to budgetary issues and bureaucratic red tape, the facility will instead likely be torn down.
