Grave of "Cannibal" Ed Gein
While not technically a serial killer, the terror Ed Gein wrought throughout the Plainfield, Wisconsin area has been fodder for American nightmares ever since.
Upon his capture by authorities for the murder of two women, Gein admitted to a whole slew of unimaginable practices commited after digging up the graves of recently deceased middle-aged women whom he thought bore a resemblance to his beloved, dead mother. Found in his shed were keepsakes and personal ornamentation Gein had fashioned from the bodies of his victims, including death masks, lampshades of stretched human skin, salted genitalia in a box, a “woman suit” which Gain donned when pretending to be female, and an “arm chair” constructed out of actual human arms.

The Skinwalker
In Native American and Norse legend, a skin-walker is a person with the supernatural ability to turn into any animal he or she desires. Similar creatures can be found in numerous cultures' lores all over the world, closely related to beliefs in werewolves (also known as lycanthropes) and other "were" creatures (which can be described as therianthropes). The Mohawk Indian word "limikkin" is sometimes used to describe all skin-walkers. It is also known as the Yenaldooshi
Hunt For The Skinwalker
the queers - see ya later fuckface
I wasn't looking for trouble,
But it came looking for me.
I may not have any muscles,
But I can move like Bruce Lee.
So when a bunch of these pussies started
Beating up on my friends,
I left the stage,
intending to land on them.
See ya later, fuckface.
See ya later, fuckface.
See you in the funny pages - fuck you!
See ya later, fuckface.
We hate you.
My dive was graceful and swanlike.
It was a sight to behold.
I fell on top of a table,
And broke a couple of bones.
One of the mongoloid's
girlfriends kicked me
Right in the fucking jewels.
I socked her one in the eye, and said,
"Fuck you!"

Social Distortion - It Wasn't A Pretty Picture
Last nite a whore- found murdered in the streets...
the skid row bums are just waking up
A politician, caught holding drugs
A friend who's left us in a suicidal way.
[Chorus:]
No-one said life would be easy,
Doesn't mean that much to me-
A crash-a bash-up on Highway 109
His wife has left him for another man
A kid, a child experiments with drugs
A friend who's left us in a suicidal way.
[Chorus:]
No-one said life would be easy,
THE EXECUTIONER, HAS SUNG HIS LAST SONG-
Fire On The Mountain Edward Abbey
Grandfather John Vogelin's land is his life -- a barren stretch of New Mexican wilderness, mercifully bypassed by civilization. Then the government moves in. And suddenly the elderly, mule-stubborn rancher is confronting the combined land-grabbing greed of the County Sheriff, the Department of the Interior, the Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. Air Force. But a tough old man is like a mountain lion: if you back him into a corner, he'll come out fighting.
Portugal's Chapel of Bones
The Chapel's story is a familiar one. By the 16th century, there were as many as 43 cemeteries in and around Evora that were taking up valuable land. Not wanting to condemn the souls of the people buried there, the monks decided to build the Chapel and relocate the bones.

Waiting ?..............
Despite its clarity and simplicity, however, the desert wears at the same time, paradoxically, a veil of mystery. Motionless and silent it evokes in us an elusive hint of something unknown, unknowable, about to be revealed. Since the desert does not act it seems to be waiting-but waiting for what?

Opium Museum
The controversy of the Opium Wars and the subsequent British opium trade with China is still widely remembered today. What has been forgotten is that by the time the trade was banished, and opium smoking began to be effectively eradicated in China, it had already become an integral part of Qing dynasty culture, indulged in at every level of Chinese society – from the lowliest rickshaw pullers to the court eunuchs within the luxurious chambers of old Peking’s Forbidden City. And to satisfy the sophisticated tastes of China’s noble, mandarin, and merchant classes, the paraphernalia and ritual of opium smoking reached dizzying artistic heights. Opium pipes, opium lamps and other accoutrements were crafted from the finest materials – ivory, jade, silver, cloisonné and porcelain.

Hayduke Lives !
Hayduke Lives! picks up after the (literal) cliffhanger at the end of the previous book and chronicles George Washington Hayduke's escape from Federal agents and his return to the deserts of southern Utah and northern Arizona. It also reunites Hayduke with the outlaw-heroes from The Monkey Wrench Gang as they battle the world's biggest walking dragline and a Mormon preacher in another attempt to save the American Southwest.
Exploring the Sinister Catacombs of the City of Light
By the light of torches, candles or miners lights, haunting scenes centuries old appear to unfold. Mud-caked galleries, abandoned quarry caverns and even chambers containing human bones throw up their secrets. Consulting maps, self-trained guides lead the way, while others look for opportunities to take photographs. Some paint murals, create graffiti, play music, or even work at opening blocked sections of the Mines. For the diehard, spending days on end here in the catacombs is as normal as a walk in the park.

Native American Sites in the City of Philadelphia
"Where we stand, perchance to pause, rest the ashes of a Chief, or of his family; and where we have chosen our sites for our habitations, may have been the selected spots on which were hutted the now departed lineage of many generations. On yon path-way, seen in the distant view, climbing the remote hills, may have been the very path first tracked, from time immemorial, by the roving Indians themselves."

America's Stonehenge (Mystery Hill)
America's Stonehenge or "Mystery Hill" comes with more questions then answers.
Variously claimed to be a 4000 year old megalithic astronomical complex ancient built by megalithic Native American Culture, the lost monastery wreckage of a migrant group of Irish monks, the creation of ancient Middle Eastern peoples or -- by most academic archaeologists -- the misinterpreted work of 18th and 19th century farmers, no one knows the origins for sure. However, the site has enough of a sorted past, outstanding questions and strong opinions about it, to leave it in a permanent state of archeological chaos.
