According to legend, if you stand in a darkened room before a mirror and say the phrase 'Bloody Mary' three times, a ghost will appear through the mirror.

Civil war
The American Civil War began because of inconsistent differences between free and slave states over national power to prevent slavery in the former states. In 1860, when Abraham Lincoln became the first president of the Republic to win elections by promising to keep slavery in place, seven slaves broke out in the Deep South and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America. Lincoln's new administration, along with many Northerners, has refused to recognize the sophistication of human segregation.

Katherine Bradford
American Female Artist: Katherine Bradford When requested to depict her work in three words, American artist Katherine Bradford picked “sparkly peopled landscapes.” Taken at face esteem, this portrayal is exact. Bradford, however, thought to be an installation of both the New York and Maine craftsmanship scenes, isn't firmly lined up with any contemporary or verifiable workmanship development. Her status as a close outcast craftsman has permitted her to investigate a composition style dependent on feeling and memory than procedure. It presently fills in as scenery for conversations of social issues and individual encounters.

In the Memory of Diego Maradona
President Alberto Fernandez has announced a three-day state accolade to pay tribute to Maradona, Argentina's public saint and one of the country's most noteworthy footballers. It is the ideal opportunity for the schedule to commend the 25th of the month with another festival in memory of Diego Armando Maradona who left this world and gave to interminability. Eventually, photographs, recordings, and movies portray his life, yet they neglect to introduce an immediate image of murkiness and light, truth and goodness, for better or for more terrible, which has never been exceptional than Diego Armando's life.

The Queen's Sister
For those of us who remember, she was one of the most beautiful women in England. She was born into a privileged life which came at a price, and yet she was one of the original ‘celebrity Royals’. She was not allowed to marry the man she loved, so she married someone more ‘suitable’ only to divorce in 1978. A rare beauty who knew how to dress, she was the Princess Margaret Rose.

The tragic and heroic life of Princess Alice, mother-in-law of Queen Elisabeth ll
Who else has seen a nun smoking and playing in the basket? Even if it seems hard to believe, such an eccentric mother once existed in Greece, whom Prince Philip of England called her "mother." The fate of Queen Elizabeth's mother-in-law is both tragic and heroic, as we are talking about a deaf-born princess who survived the two world wars, fought a mental illness and established a monastic order in a Greece that had abolished the monarchy.

Pennhurst Asylum
The Pennhurst Asylum, located outside of Philadelphia, was once an institution for the mentally and physically disabled. It was shut down in 1987 after years of overcrowding and patient abuse. It has found a new life as a haunted house, and this upsets many of those people who lived here before and had to undergo years of abuse.
