 June 17 - June 23: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are executed for conspiracy to commit espionage - the children of Francisca Rojas are murdered in their home, a bloody fingerprint providing the identity of the murderer - and a extremely rare and valuable book is found in the belly of a fish!

 Trypanophobia, also known as needle phobia, is the fear of injections, medical procedures including injections and hypodermic needles.
Not too many people would say they enjoy getting an injection, but those with this phobia have real fear, so much so that many avoid all medical treatment when possible, just in case a needle becomes involved.  A mighty, but rather evil, warrior proved that karma really does bite some people in the bum (or the leg), the lover of the Russian Queen proved almost immortal and the inventor of Tennessee whiskey proved he had severe anger management issues.
These three men died in strange ways.  June 10 - June 16: The very first Salem Witch Trial execution takes place with the hanging of Bridget Bishop - Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc immolates himself in protest in Saigon - and a young girl named Anne Frank receives a diary for her thirteenth birthday.
 Pediophobia, fear of dolls, is quite a common phobia. It falls into a similar branch of phobias as fearing robots, shadows and animatronic creatures.
Dolls are creepy, especially older, cracked and broken ones, but whereas someone may shudder when looking at these pictures, those with the phobia will have a much larger, negative, reaction.  David Douglas was gored by a bull. Adolf Frederick, King of Sweden, ate until he burst. King Herod the Great suffered a death most men (if not all) would fear...
People die in strange, tragic and bizarre ways every day... here is the story of three such people.  In the city of Guanajuato, Mexico, there is a museum displaying mummified remains of those dug up after families were unable to pay the 'grave tax'.
As corpses were disinterred, it was discovered that a small percentage had been naturally mummified, and that a few had been buried alive.  Miyake-jima is part of the volcanic Izu Islands located south of Honshu, Japan.
Mount Oyama, at the heart of the island, is an active volcano that emits poisonous gas, forcing the islands 3000 odd residents to constantly carry gas masks, in case sulphur/sulfur levels become toxic.  June 3 - June 9: The engineer of a train applies the brakes too hard causing the train to derail into a river, killing hundreds, all in order to avoid a cow - thousands die during an earthquake and tsunami in Port Royal, Jamaica - and the supernatural comedy Ghostbusters is released.
 Death comes to us all, it is an undeniable fact, until immortality is invented... but with some, it comes in the strangest of ways.
Here is a brief look at three bizarre deaths which have occurred throughout history. The Emperor Titus, French president, Félix Faure and Sir Francis Bacon. |
