A London gravedigger spent two years quietly digging up the dead by day and selling their bodies, teeth, and severed limbs to hospitals by night — with a 14-year-old girl holding the basket.HEAR THE NEW SONG FOR THIS EPISODE! https://youtu.be/7_uVLP_0YUM *** For the final story in this podcast episode, "Knights, Dragons, and Dino DNA"... “DINOSAUR” is a pop-punk thought experiment about ancient monsters, biblical beasts, and the uncomfortable possibility that some things might not be as settled as we're told. From Behemoth to Leviathan to a certain long-necked lake resident, the song asks a simple question: if it looks like a dinosaur, sounds like a dinosaur, and terrifies everyone like a dinosaur… what exactly are we waiting for? It's a raised eyebrow to long-held beliefs set to power chords. (Interpret responsibly.)IN THIS EPISODE: The Phaistos Disc was discovered in 1903, by Italian archaeologists in southern Crete. Since then the disc has remained a mystery as no one has been able to decipher the writings upon it, nor who made the object, what was it used for, and even if it's a genuine archaeological discovery or a clever fake. (The Phaistos Disc) *** Usually you learn that a place is haunted simply because people say it is. It's common knowledge around the town or neighborhood… but when the government of your country says a place is haunted, you'd better danged well listen. Such is the case with India's Bhangarh Fort. (Bhangarh Fort – The Most Haunted Place in India) *** At the end of 1894 French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, a graduate of the École Polytechnique, and a Jew of Alsatian origin, was accused of handing secret documents to the Imperial German military. After a closed trial, he was found guilty of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on the dreaded Devil's Island. But that's just the beginning of the story that later became known as The Dreyfus Affair. (The Dreyfus Affair) *** We've all heard of the power of the mind – it's been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of pain, some well-trained individuals can use their mind to slow their rate of respiration, to bring their heartbeat down to almost nothing with no long-term ill effects… but what about controlling things outside of your own body? Is the mind that powerful? Some believe so – and they also believe it's one possible explanation for hauntings. (The Wild PK of the Poltergeist) *** Is it possible that our history books are wrong and that humans actually did walk with dinosaurs? It might not be as far-fetched as it sounds, especially when you look at tales of knights, dragons, and T-Rex DNA. (Knights, Dragons, and Dino DNA) *** We'll have a short tale about Joseph Naples… who chose the macabre career of being a grave digger… but only because it made it easier for him to be a grave robber… and a body snatcher.

Watch this episode ad-free by joining the ITBR Patreon! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomIn the premiere episode of Biased Justice, I'm joined by Mary DiPipi of True Crime in Academia to unpack the first chapter of Biased Justice, the manuscript written by Dimitri Rozenman about his wrongful conviction.Dimitri recounts the legal chaos that followed his overturned conviction—including being abandoned by multiple attorneys and ultimately forced to represent himself in a system stacked against defendants without resources. He reflects on his lifelong love of literature, the influence of the Alfred Dreyfus affair, and why writing became his final tool for survival and truth.The conversation expands into a sharp critique of the U.S. criminal justice system—examining prosecutorial power, evidence control, and systemic bias—while contrasting it with more impartial models abroad. Above all, Dimitri explains why telling his story matters: to expose injustice, push for reform, and reclaim a voice he hopes might one day reach his daughters.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts or producers.Follow ITBR on IG @ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok @dr.andrewrimbyBe sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can watch video episodes of the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@ivorytowerboilerroomThanks to our following sponsors!

By Cort David Hughes - A historical man was Alfred Dreyfus, who was accused by the French authorities, but never accused anyone.

En, wanneer die feite uiteindelik aan die lig kom, is die persoon heeltemal onskuldig. Kom nou, hoe dikwels het jy nie ook al iemand onskuldig veroordeel nie?Alfred Dreyfus, 'n Joodse offisier in die Franse leër, is in 1894 valslik van verraad beskuldig. Die bewyse teen hom was baie flou, maar die leër, die publiek en die media het hom summier veroordeel. Hulle het nie die ware feite ondersoek nie; hulle het eenvoudig aanvaar wat vir hulle vertel is.Intussen het die regte verraaier skotvry gekom. Dit het jare se deursettingsvermoë, noukeurige ondersoek en dapper getuies geneem om die waarheid te ontbloot en Dreyfus vry te spreek. Maar teen daardie tyd het die Franse samelewing reeds hul respek vir die regstelsel verloor.Spreuke 18:15-17 'n Mens met insig kry steeds meer kennis. Wyse mense hou altyd hulle ore oop.

An angry crowd hurled abuse and antisemitic slurs at Captain Alfred Dreyfus on 5th January, 1895, as he stood in the courtyard of the École Militaire in Paris to have his insignia torn away and his sword ceremonially snapped. He had been falsely convicted of treason. The case against him rested almost entirely on a memorandum - the bordereau - found torn up in a German embassy waste-paper basket. Investigators claimed the handwriting resembled Dreyfus's, and his trial was held behind closed doors, shielding the weakness of their case. Dreyfus was sent to Devil's Island in French Guiana, where he was kept in near-total isolation, confined to a small hut, shackled at night, poorly fed, and forbidden meaningful human contact. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how evidence quietly emerged pointing to the real author of the bordereau: Major Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy; discover how public outrage finally broke through after Émile Zola's famous open letter, “J'Accuse…!”; and consider how smears about Dreyfus's sexuality were also used against him… Further Reading: • ‘The Dreyfus affair: 100 years on' (BBC News, 2006): https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5166904.stm • ‘The Dreyfus Affair: The Scandal And Anti-Semitism That Divided France' (HistoryExtra, 2022): https://www.historyextra.com/period/modern/dreyfus-affair-what-happened-france-scandal-anti-semitism/ • ‘J'ACCUSE - Trailer' (Gaumont, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iwqFo1B7nM #Scandal #France #Jewish #Racism #1800s Love the show?

The Promotion Of Alfred DreyfusSometimes it takes years...30, 131, or even thousands but truth rises, hatred fades, and our mission to bring every Jew home remains eternal.(Parshat Vayeitzei)
This episode explores An Officer and a Spy (J'accuse in French), Roman Polanski's 2019 film about the Dreyfus Affair in France. The Dreyfus Affair is one of most significant events in late 19th/early 20th century, an event whose implications reverberated for decades in France and around the world. The Dreyfus Affair centered around the military trial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus on charges of treason. Wrongly convicted based on secret evidence and false information, Dreyfus's case would become a cause célèbres and synonymous with a miscarriage of justice. It also exposed and exacerbated tensions within French society while underscoring deep and pervasive levels of antisemitism. Based on Robert Harris's 2013 novel of the same name, An Officer and a Spy focuses on the role of George Picquart, the military officer who helps uncover the truth behind Dreyfus's wrongful conviction, and Picquart's complex relationship with Dreyfus himself. Hewing closely to historical fact, the film highlights critical issues around law, truth, and justice, at the heart of the Dreyfus affair and why it remains so relevant today.

Was Alfred Dreyfus really a self-hating or self-denying assimilated Jew?
France this week promoted Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish army captain wrongly convicted of treason in 1894, to the rank of brigadier general as an act of reparation in a notorious case of antisemitism that has caused outrage for generations. The move is seen as a symbolic step in the fight against antisemitism in modern France, at a time of growing alarm over hate crimes targeting Jews in the country in the context of the Gaza war. French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu signed the promotion into law on Monday, and it was published in the so-called Official Journal of new legislation on Tuesday. Parliament’s lower house unanimously approved the legislation in June, and the Senate backed it earlier this month. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Yael Perl-Ruiz , the great grand-daughter of Alfred Dreyfus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Han var officer, jude och oskyldig. Ändå dömdes Alfred Dreyfus för landsförräderi i en av historiens mest explosiva rättsskandaler. Mellan 1894 och 1906 skakas Frankrike av skandalen som ger eko i vår tid. Den blev ett avstamp för intellektuellas roll i samhällsdebatten och den moderna sionismen.
On January 5, 1895, Captain Alfred Dreyfus's cries of innocence were drowned out by a mob shouting “Death to Judas!” In Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair (Yale UP, 2024), Maurice Samuels gives readers new insight into Dreyfus himself—the man at the center of the affair. He tells the story of Dreyfus's early life in Paris, his promising career as a French officer, the false accusation leading to his imprisonment on Devil's Island, the fight to prove his innocence that divided the French nation, and his life of quiet obscurity after World War I.Samuels's striking perspective is enriched by a newly available archive of more than three thousand documents and objects donated by the Dreyfus family. Unlike many historians, Samuels argues that Dreyfus was not an “assimilated” Jew. Rather, he epitomized a new model of Jewish identity made possible by the French Revolution, when France became the first European nation to grant Jews full legal equality. This book analyzes Dreyfus's complex relationship to Judaism and to antisemitism over the course of his life—a story that, as global antisemitism rises, echoes still. It also shows the profound effect of the Dreyfus Affair on the lives of Jews around the world. Maurice Samuels is the Betty Jane Anlyan Professor of French and director of the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism at Yale University. He is the author most recently of The Betrayal of the Duchess: The Scandal That Unmade the Bourbon Monarchy and Made France Modern. He lives in Branford, CT. Geraldine Gudefin is a modern Jewish historian researching Jewish migrations, family life, and legal pluralism. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce?

Today in Politics on Trial David tells the tale of the Dreyfus Affair that split France down the middle at the turn of the last century and revealed the grip of a whole host of conspiracy theories. Across a series of courts martial, libel trials, treason trials and parliamentary commissions, the story of a letter found in a wastebin turned into a saga about who really controlled the country. Was it the Jews? The Jesuits? The Freemasons? The army? The Germans? Or nobody at all? Why did Alfred Dreyfus find himself at the centre of it all? And what does all this madness tell us about the paranoid state of American politics today? Tickets are available now for our autumn film season at the Regent Street Cinema in London, starting on 5th September with a screening of Alfred Hitchcock's Rope followed by a live recording of PPF with special guests Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, aka the best-selling husband-and-wife crime-writing duo Nicci French.

Comme toujours, nous commencerons notre émission par une discussion sur l'actualité. Aujourd'hui, nous commenterons tout d'abord un article du Washington Post selon lequel le Hamas traverserait la crise financière et administrative la plus grave de son histoire. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour la population de Gaza ? Quelles sont les conséquences humanitaires de cette crise ? Ensuite, nous discuterons des résultats des élections de dimanche au Japon, qui ont été marqués par la percée d'un parti populiste d'extrême droite avec son programme nationaliste « Les Japonais d'abord ».

En 1911, le linguiste Ferdinand Brunot a créé, avec le soutien de la firme Pathé, les Archives de la parole qui viennent de rentrer dans le Régistre «Mémoires du Monde» de l'UNESCO. Le 3 juin 1911, le linguiste Ferdinand Brunot inaugurait ce que nous appelons aujourd'hui les Archives de la Parole. Des centaines d'enregistrements qui témoignent du parler de ce début du XXè siècle. L'idée étant de conserver les cultures orales grâce à l'enregistrement phonographique. Ce fonds, qui a permis de créer l'une des premières patrimonialisations du son en France, vient d'être inscrit au registre international Mémoire du monde de l'UNESCO. Comment ces sons ont-ils été enregistrés et recensés ? À qui sert-il ? De quoi est-il composé ? Quelque 3 000 enregistrements sont numérisés et archivés. Rien n'aurait pu se faire sans le partenariat entre la Sorbonne et la firme Pathé. À l'origine, les enregistrements étaient réalisés sur des cylindres de cire qui servaient de matrice et qui étaient envoyés dans les usines Pathé, à Chatou, pour être pressés et gravés sur des 78 tours. C'était une véritable innovation technique pour l'époque dont s'était emparé le linguiste qui y a vu une véritable opportunité pour légitimer l'oralité et la langue parlée. Il s'est inspiré de l'expérience du Phonogrammarchiv de Vienne (1899). Les contraintes techniques sur ces supports imposaient 2 à 3 minutes d'enregistrement, ce qui correspondait à chaque face d'un 78 tours. Les sons récoltés allaient du français parlé aux dialectes, patois et langues régionales. L'objectif était d'avoir une amplitude suffisamment large pour rendre compte des évolutions de la langue et des façons de parler. On y trouve des dialogues, mais aussi des fables, des chants ou des contes. Les enregistrements se faisaient à la Sorbonne ou sur le terrain et à l'époque, les gens n'étaient pas habitués à entendre leur propre voix ! On y trouve aussi des voix célèbres enregistrées (Guillaume Apollinaire, Alfred Dreyfus) et des langues étrangères avec des locuteurs de passage à Paris. C'est le début d'une prise de conscience de ce qu'est un patrimoine immatériel et qui reste encore aujourd'hui un objet de recherche vivant. Aujourd'hui, la DGLFLF documente les langues parlées en France de nos jours avec l'initiative «Écouter parler». Ferdinand Brunot (1860-1936) était un linguiste, grammairien et historien de la langue française. Il a été professeur au Collège de France. Il est connu pour avoir dirigé la monumentale Histoire de la langue française en neuf tomes. Spécialiste de la phonétique et des évolutions linguistiques en France, il a contribué à institutionnaliser les études de linguistiques en France. Il a fondé les Archives de la Parole en 1911. Il fut un pionnier dans la collecte d'enregistrements sonores à des fins scientifiques. Il était aussi un homme très engagé politiquement, en ce qui concernait les droits de l'homme, républicain, héritier des Lumières, défenseur de Dreyfus.

Alfred Dreyfus var kaptajn i den franske hær og blev i 1894 frataget sin titel og idømt livsvarig forvaring for landsforræderi. Hans navn er synonymt med den mest betændte politiske og intellektuelle strid i Frankrig i nyere tid. Den såkaldte 'Dreyfusaffære' har dybe historiske rødder og handler om antisemitisme, patriotisme og idéen om tilhørsforholdet til Frankrig - og så trækker den tråde helt op til i dag. Men hvorfor fylder en over 130 år gammel retssag stadig i det moderne Frankrig? Hvordan har man i Frankrig bearbejdet dette smertelige og langstrakte kapitel i den nationale historie? Og har "l'affaire Dreyfus" et budskab til vor tid? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i denne uges Kampen om historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med journalist og forfatter Bjørn Bredal. Redaktør: Thomas Vinter Larsen. I redaktionen: Clara Faust Spies. Musik: Adi Zukanovic.
(01:35) Geert Wilders praat in stellingen en oneliners, en lijkt niet gericht op overleg maar op zijn zin krijgen. Hoe nieuw is zijn stijl – en hoe verklaar je zijn invloed op de agenda? Politiek historicus Henk te Velde vertelt, naar aanleiding van zijn nieuwe boek Land van redenaars en debat. (17:02) Als een apparaat dienstbaar moet zijn, praat het algauw als een vrouw zoals we haar in de 19e eeuw voorstelde: aanmoedigend en inschikkelijk. In de technologie staat de onderdanige vrouw nog altijd model. En dat is al heel lang, zo blijkt uit de nieuwe tentoonstelling ‘Vrouwen als technologie' in het Design Museum Den Bosch. Te gast is conservator van het museum en curator van de tentoonstelling Anne-Karlijn van Kesteren. (25:50) De column van Nelleke Noordervliet (29:16) Alfred Dreyfus, de Joodse kapitein die 130 jaar geleden ten onrechte werd veroordeeld voor hoogverraad, krijgt postuum promotie tot brigadegeneraal. Wie was hij, wat was de Dreyfus-affaire en waarom nu deze erkenning? Historicus Niek Pas legt het uit.

De Franse legerkapitein Alfred Dreyfus, die meer dan 130 jaar geleden ten onrechte werd beschuldigd van verraad, wordt postuum bevorderd in rang. Afgelopen maandag stemde de Assemblée Nationale, de Franse Tweede Kamer, unaniem voor de postume promotie van de Joodse Dreyfus tot de rang van brigadegeneraal. Maar wat was de Dreyfus-affaire? En waarom juist nu deze postume erkenning voor de man die wel wordt gezien als een van de eerste slachtoffers van het antisemitisme? We vragen het Niek Pas, historicus en Frankrijk-kenner.

The UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has called for an independent investigation into the reported killing on Sunday of at least thirty-one Palestinians near a US-backed aid distribution centre in Gaza. Israel denied that their forces fired at people near the site. UN human rights chief, Volker Turk, tells us the incident shows Israel's disregard for Palestinian civilians. Also in the programme: Russia stands by its hard line demands at ceasefire talks in Istanbul, and the French parliament votes to posthumously promote Alfred Dreyfus, in an attempt to right one of histories most infamous anti-Semitic scandals(Picture: Palestinians who were killed in the Israeli army attacks near the American aid center in Rafah and the Muin area and Salahaddin Street in the east of Khan Yunis are being sent to their last journeys by their relatives at Nasser Medical Center in Khan Yunis city, Gaza on June 2, 2025.

Ende September 1894 findet Marie Bastian im Papierkorb in der deutschen Botschaft in Paris ein zerrissenes Schriftstück im Papierkorb des Militärattachés Oberstleutnant Maximilian von Schwartzkoppen. Es ist der Beginn einer Affäre voller Intrigen, Fälschungen, Skandale und offenem Antisemitismus, die Frankreich in zwei Lager spalten wird. Obwohl der Spion längst überführt werden konnte, dauerte es noch Jahre, bis der fälschlich verurteilte Alfred Dreyfus rehabilitiert wurde. // Erwähnte Folgen * GAG225: Die Rundfahrt der Schlachtfelder – https://gadg.fm/225 * GAG239: Die Zabern-Affäre – https://gadg.fm/239 * GAG13: Ein Spionagefall erschüttert die Habsburger Monarchie – https://gadg.fm/13 * GAG02: Tatortschau mit Wiedererkennungswert – https://gadg.fm/02 // Literatur * George Whyte: The Dreyfus Affair – A Chronological History, 2006. * Maurice Samuels: Alfred Dreyfus, The man at the Center of the affair, 2024. * Alfred Dreyfus: Fünf Jahre meines Lebens.

Zola è alla sbarra per aver scritto una lettera aperta al Presidente della Repubblica in merito a uno scandalo pubblico che ha visto un innocente condannato per alto tradimento. Il suo "J'accuse" risuona sulla prima pagine del quotidiano "L'Aurore" e spacca la società transalpina in due fazioni opposte, obbligando però lo Stato a riaprire le indagini sul caso del capitano Alfred Dreyfus. Ripercorriamo una delle storie più cupe eppure più attuali, in cui si mescolano pregiudizi, razzismo, ottusità, spie, complotti, vizi, ufficiali, politici, giornalisti, avvocati e che ebbe conseguenze assolute sulla Storia.

Could legendary dragon slayers have actually been facing off against dinosaurs, blending myth and history into one epic, fire-breathing mystery?Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: The Phaistos Disc was discovered in 1903, by Italian archaeologists in southern Crete. Since then the disc has remained a mystery as no one has been able to decipher the writings upon it, nor who made the object, what was it used for, and even if it's a genuine archaeological discovery or a clever fake. (The Phaistos Disc) *** Usually you learn that a place is haunted simply because people say it is. It's common knowledge around the town or neighborhood… but when the government of your country says a place is haunted, you'd better danged well listen. Such is the case with India's Bhangarh Fort. (Bhangarh Fort – The Most Haunted Place in India) *** At the end of 1894 French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, a graduate of the École Polytechnique, and a Jew of Alsatian origin, was accused of handing secret documents to the Imperial German military. After a closed trial, he was found guilty of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on the dreaded Devil's Island. But that's just the beginning of the story that later became known as The Dreyfus Affair. (The Dreyfus Affair) *** We've all heard of the power of the mind – it's been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of pain, some well-trained individuals can use their mind to slow their rate of respiration, to bring their heartbeat down to almost nothing with no long-term ill effects… but what about controlling things outside of your own body? Is the mind that powerful? Some believe so – and they also believe it's one possible explanation for hauntings. (The Wild PK of the Poltergeist) *** Is it possible that our history books are wrong and that humans actually did walk with dinosaurs? It might not be as far-fetched as it sounds, especially when you look at tales of knights, dragons, and T-Rex DNA. (Knights, Dragons, and Dino DNA) *** We'll have a short tale about Joseph Naples… who chose the macabre career of being a grave digger… but only because it made it easier for him to be a grave robber… and a body snatcher.

Dreyfus: A Very Modern Affair is an October 7th story, but one that begins not in 2023, but in October of 1894 with the arrest of French military officer Alfred Dreyfus, who also happened to be a Jew. The implications of his framing, arrest, incarceration and the fallout of his eventual exoneration reverberate today. Over this five-episode series, we examine how these events unfolded, and how they connect to the antisemitism that exists today.

Today's Talmud page, Bava Batra 112, finds the rabbis talking about death, dying, burial plots, and questions of inheritance. And when we think about Jews who have left behind a legacy that continues to edify and inspire, few shine more brightly than Captain Alfred Dreyfus, whose arrest, trial, and exoneration forced Europe to question its hatred of the Jews and inspired the Jews to flock to Zionism and fight for the establishment of a Jewish homeland. Commemorating the 130th anniversary of Dreyfus's arrest, and the fact that the same questions it raised continue to haunt us with renewed and terrifying vigor since October 7, 2023, Tablet Studios produced Dreyfus: A Very Modern Affair, a limited-run series about the case and its contemporary implications.

As Dreyfus wastes away on Devil's Island, his wife and brother back in France fight for his freedom and exoneration. Dreyfus struggles to survive. We speak to Dreyfus's great-great granddaughter about his legacy.
D'abord petit rappel, à la fin du XIXe siècle, le capitaine Alfred Dreyfus, un officier de l'armée française d'origine juive, fut faussement accusé de trahison. Cette affaire divisa profondément la société française entre les dreyfusards, qui soutenaient Dreyfus et réclamaient la justice, et les antidreyfusards, qui croyaient en sa culpabilité.Le lien entre le Tour de France et l'affaire Dreyfus repose sur la création de L'Auto, ancêtre de L'ÉquipeLe Vélo, le principal journal sportif de l'époque, était dirigé par Pierre Giffard, un dreyfusard. La position du journal sur l'affaire Dreyfus provoqua des tensions parmi ses lecteurs et ses annonceurs, dont plusieurs étaient antidreyfusards. Ces annonceurs, dirigés par le comte Jules-Albert de Dion, un industriel de l'automobile, décidèrent de créer un journal rival pour promouvoir leurs intérêts.En 1900, L'Auto-Vélo fut fondé par Henri Desgrange et financé par ces industriels. Cependant, à cause d'une bataille juridique avec Le Vélo, le journal fut contraint de changer son nom pour **L'Auto**. Pour augmenter les ventes et surpasser Le Vélo, Desgrange et son collaborateur, Géo Lefèvre, eurent l'idée de créer une course cycliste qui traverserait toute la France. C'est ainsi que le Tour de France fut lancé en 1903.La première édition du Tour de France connut un succès immédiat, augmentant considérablement les ventes de L'Auto. La course devint rapidement un événement annuel majeur, attirant de plus en plus de participants et de spectateurs. Le Tour de France permit à L'Auto de surpasser Le Vélo en termes de popularité et de circulation.Ce lien entre le Tour de France et l'affaire Dreyfus illustre comment un événement politique majeur a indirectement conduit à la création de l'une des courses cyclistes les plus célèbres au monde. Le Tour de France, bien que né d'une rivalité commerciale exacerbée par des divisions politiques, est devenu un symbole de la culture sportive française et un événement suivi par des millions de personnes chaque année.

In 1894, French artillery officer Alfred Dreyfus was falsely accused of passing military secrets to Germany. These swirling accusations and the subsequent degradation and humiliation suffered by Dreyfus constitutes one of history's most notorious incidents of antisemitism.

The Phaistos Disc was discovered in 1903, by Italian archaeologists in southern Crete. Since then the disc has remained a mystery as no one has been able to decipher the writings upon it, nor who made the object, what was it used for, and even if it's a genuine archaeological discovery or a clever fake. (The Phaistos Disc) *** Usually you learn that a place is haunted simply because people say it is. It's common knowledge around the town or neighborhood… but when the government of your country says a place is haunted, you'd better danged well listen. Such is the case with India's Bhangarh Fort. (Bhangarh Fort – The Most Haunted Place in India) *** At the end of 1894 French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, a graduate of the École Polytechnique, and a Jew of Alsatian origin, was accused of handing secret documents to the Imperial German military. After a closed trial, he was found guilty of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on the dreaded Devil's Island. But that's just the beginning of the story that later became known as The Dreyfus Affair. (The Dreyfus Affair) *** We've all heard of the power of the mind – it's been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of pain, some well-trained individuals can use their mind to slow their rate of respiration, to bring their heartbeat down to almost nothing with no long-term ill effects… but what about controlling things outside of your own body? Is the mind that powerful? Some believe so – and they also believe it's one possible explanation for hauntings. (The Wild PK of the Poltergeist) *** Is it possible that our history books are wrong and that humans actually did walk with dinosaurs? It might not be as far-fetched as it sounds, especially when you look at tales of knights, dragons, and T-Rex DNA. (Knights, Dragons, and Dino DNA) *** We'll have a short tale about Joseph Naples… who chose the macabre career of being a grave digger… but only because it made it easier for him to be a grave robber… and a body snatcher.
