Happy Birthday Hans Conrad Leipelt!

A REAL hero in the anti-nazi movement, as opposed to the usual prussians touted by the media and elitist historians.

If I remember correctly, there are reports of this belief system surviving in rural Rhode Island well into the Victorian era.

Hauntings in Sheperdstown, WV?
http://www.nj.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/07/what_could_cause_an_entire_town_to_be_haunted_para.html
Pretty thin information, here. Sounds like an ad for yet another TV show where people scream every time the cameraman bumps into something. I've been to the town several times, it's a nice place, and hardly matches up to the 'most haunted' title.
