Manage episode 367264270 series 3487908
In Episode 23, Scott and Mickey discuss the mystery that is St. Nazianz, in Manitowoc County, WI. Founded in 1854 by a German immigrant priest claiming to have mystical powers bestowed upon him by The Almighty, St, Nazianz went on to become one of the most important communities in the nation in regards to Catholicism.
After Father Oschwald's unexpected death in 1873, the Salvatorian's from Rome took over the property, modernized it, and built what at that time was known to be the most modern and best equipped Catholic Seminary in the nation, the Salvatorian Seminary.
After ceasing operations in the 1980's, lastly as a co-ed high school named JFK Prep, rumors of rogue priests, abusive nuns, suicides, and curses upon the village took hold, leading to trespassers and vandalism over the 40 years the property has been mostly abandoned, and ghost stories run rampant to this day.
We again welcome back our resident paranormal expert Jim Cooper to break down the history of St. Nazianz, Father Oschwald, and JFK Prep, to determine fact from folklore.
