Child Witchcraft & The Murder Of Kristy Bamu
The adults in the flat decided that an exorcism must be performed on the children, and so the torture began. The siblings were severely beaten, threatened with a knife, and one of the sisters was forced to eat a lightbulb. Eric’s reasoning for this torture was to get the siblings to confess; he even insisted that the children jump out of a window to see if they could fly. Eventually most of the kids admitted to bringing witchcraft with them, and their torture was mostly over; at that point they were all forced to help torture their brother, Kristy…
Haitian Voodoo Zombies
In Haiti voodoo is practiced by at least 50% of the population. There is a type of sorcerer Haitians call Bokor, he is a Voodoo doctor who uses his power for both good and evil. It is said that if you upset someone, they may pay a Bokor to come sprinkle zombie dust on you. The victim will fall what is perceived to be dead, with no detectible pulse. The grieving family will have a funeral, and the victim is buried in the ground.

With all of the money he’d made from his followers, a chunk of land in South America’s Guyana was purchased; it was beautiful, enchanting land surrounded by rain forest. After receiving a good deal of negative media attention, Jim concentrated on sending his people there and building Jonestown, a place which his followers believed would be a peaceful religious utopian commune where they’d sit and sing Kumbaya all day…

The act of mummification would take around ten years to complete. It is believed that hundreds of monks have tried to mummify themselves, but less than two dozen actually succeeded…
The Savage King Henry VIII
As an American I can’t explain my obsession with Tudor England, except that there’s so much scandal and murder involved. And y’all already know that I do love me some scandal and murder!
The Hand Of Voodoo
CAUTION, CRIME SCENE PHOTOS It was 1997 in Bradenton, Florida when a waterlogged severed human hand was discovered in the Manatee River. This was mysterious, and police honestly didn’t know what to make of it. After much care, the medical examiner was finally able to get prints off the hand. It belonged to a 70…
