The Unknown History

Roanoke
Lost Colony
Imagine sending hundreds of people to
a small island to form a small colony and then
when you come back, all of them disappeared.
Well that is exactly what happened. In 1585,
more than 100 people were sent to Roanoke
island (Island in North Carolina, United
States) in an attempt to colonize the land and
set up a colony. A second group of people was
sent in 1587 but it was delayed and they
arrived in 1590. When they arrived, the first
group of people had mysteriously
disappeared.

In 1612, William Strachey concluded


that the people in the first colony were “all In fact, an x-ray analysis of an ancient

Exorcism of Unknown History

Roland Doe
In 1949, a newspaper posted a
story about how a boy who was allegedly
possessed by a demon. In the same year,
exorcisms would be performed on the
boy to heal him.

Prior to the exorcism, the boy was


an ordinary kid who went to school and
also liked board games. One day, his aunt
introduced him to a new board game: the
Ouija board which the boy enjoyed.
Allegedly, on January 15, 1949, the family
heard dripping sounds but the faucet was
closed. Then, they heard scratching
sounds but no one was scratching. At
night, the scratching began again, the
family thought it was rats or rodents but
they did not find any. 11 days later, Aunt Mental asylums of the 1920s and beyond

We’ve often heard about the brutal
Nazi experiments but have you heard of the
brutal experiments of imperial Japan? In 1932
was the creation of “The Epidemic prevention
and Water Purification Department”
(Hammond, 1) in the puppet state of
Manchuria during WW2 which would
commit brutal human experiments. In charge
was Unit 731. Unit 731 would conduct illegal
human experiments in an attempt to develop
biological weapons. Its victims were 70%
Chinese and 30% being Koreans, Mongolians
and russians.

Blood Eagle Unknown History

Ritual
The Blood Eagle Ritual was a torturous
execution method done by the Vikings and it
was one of the most gruesome ways to die.
But what was the Blood Eagle Ritual?

The blood eagle ritual happened as


early at the 12th-13th century. The process
for this ritual is different depending on the
sources. One source dictates that the victim
was attached and then an eagle was drawn by
painfully scratching the back of the victim.
Afterwards, salt is poured on the wounds
which inflicted intense pain to the victim. In
another source, the ribs of the victim were
made to penetrate the skin so that the rib
would penetrate the back of the victim. I
