does anyone have any stories about the cristero war?

What was the name of the priest? And was there a movie made on him? I believe Henry Fonda played an underground priest in the Cristero War (in movie) and was shot and killed later on by a firing squad. \n\nAlso, why not give it to the Vatican or museum where it can be appreciated by all?

Back in my wandering hippie days a busload of us crashed at an old house in Boulder Colorado.  One of the women awoke from a nap upstairs screaming, saying a little girl was trying to steal her body. \n\nOur host passed a couple of joints around and told the story of the original residents.  It seems their young daughter had died of typhoid, and they were in such denial of it that they just left her body to rot in her upstairs bedroom. Deprived of a proper burial, the girl's spirit never left the house.  The next owner had walled off the room, even going so far as to seal it with lead.  We were starting to have some fun with the story when there was suddenly a loud bang from the wall in question, causing a number of things to fall down.\n\nWe decided then to go out for ice cream, and we all slept downstairs on the living room floor that night.

Erm...if you want really detailed and true story...\nI suggest you to go back in time (laughs) but since so far we aren't capable of it yet, so your best shot is at archives(arkib) and going to the site and asking the locals is worth a shot and you can also try at the library but you can't actually get the full list of soldiers and people who are involved because that is like impossible even if you get the recruits names from that specific place but you must know that there are others like villagers that helped too...If you want every of their names...i think its not possible because they are villagers and their name are not recorded anywhere...\nAnd if you want the all that are involved, do you count the people that did petit jobs like maybe lke the person who cooked for the men before they fight...You see what i mean?\nAs for the dates, times, i am sure you can get from the national archives or national library...

There´s another story of el Duende, i think every country have a different story for this mithological legend.\nHere´s one from Argentina:\n\nIt is said that is a boy that died without to be baptized or a bad boy that struck his mother.  He is very small, he carries a large hat and he cries like a creature.  He has a hand of iron and another of wool, when himself about to someone asks him if with which hand he desires to be struck.  Some they say that, without importing the election, the elf will strike always with that of iron.  Other, on the other hand, they assure that the unprepared choose that of wool and that is this the one that in reality more hurts.  \n\nIt possesses some very harmful eyes and very sharp teeth.  Is used to appearing at the moment of the siesta or in the night in the cañadones or fractions.  It has predilection toward the very young children, although also strikes without piety to the greater.  \n\nIn the zone of the Calchaquí Valley exist two very curious histories with respect al elf:  \n\nOne tells that an archaeologist, being gone in the hill to hours of the siesta the crying of a boy listened.  When he go there, he saw a child squatting and with the mush head.

Perhaps you could start with the book "Farewell to Manzanar" by Jeanne and James D. Houston. It may be difficult finding a survivor at this point, as it occurred over 60 years ago... Good luck.

One of the leaders that fought against Spanish rule in the Philippines was Andres Bonifacio he headed the KKK (Kataastaasan Kagalanggalangan ng Katipunan). Among over revolutionaries were Apolinario Mabini (the Brains of the Katipunan) and Tangdang Sora (the Mother of the Katipunan). Andres Bonificio was from the masses and had different opinions in terms of how to fight against the Spaniards from those of Jose Rizal. Jose Rizal preferred a bloodless revolution but the KKK wanted an all out revolt.

Yes, but not a very good one. When was the last time they won a shooting war without the help of the Soviet Union, Britain and Australia? I know about Grenada; I mean against a real army.

No Fire & Brimstone here...\nFour years ago, a few friends and I made the trek from Melbourne to Junee In New South Wales to visit a homestead called Monte Cristo.\nIt's a tourist attraction now, reputed to be Australia's most haunted house.\nThe owners of the property actually live on site, and invite tourists to spend the night, and take the tour. My girlfriend at the time wasn't pleased, so we opted for a cabin in the hills.\nIt was a gorgeous summer night, and the tour was fascinating. Later, as we went to leave, we all piled into the car, and my girlfriends seat was soaked, from top to bottom in a cold, clammy residue. Nothing else in the car was affected.\nWe photographed it, and her clothing after she jumped out of the car screaming.....\nWhen we arrived at the cabin we were staying in, there was no trace of the strange gel. Not in the car, or on her clothing.\nThe photo's clearly show it, yet 15 minutes later, there was nothing to see.\nProbably not the cool kind of story you were after, but it has us wondering, to this day.

Claro que si!   I would love more information on this, it is truly a worthy cause!

I like horror stories, so here are some...\n\n***\n\nAbout six or seven years ago, my family lived along Teays Valley Rd. before the big "industrial boom" of Putnam County. Seems like it went from a farming community to a city right before my eyes. Well anyway, We rented land off of a fellow by the name of Jim Umberger. On this land was an extravagant pre-civil war almost Victorian house. It was simply beautiful. Off to the side of this massive antique sat our trailer. Now I was awful young through all of this and kids will have thier fabled ghost stories, but there was something quite odd about this house. Something was down right sour. \n\nThe story had it (and I know nothing of the truth in this) a family was brutally butchered in the house. Back then, there wasa whole lot of nothing for miles around, so no one even found these folks for a good long time. As a youngster, I had the "creeps" about anything just about, but I've never been quite as frightened of a place as I was here. The place had an eerie air to it. To make things even more insane, my stepgrandmother, Evelyn, died of brain cancer there (in our trailer, of course). My other Grandmothers' entire cancer eaten body siezed up and shut down on her, yet she died oficially in a hospital. Strange things went on at this trailer. Pockets of not cool, but cold air in the middle of July, for example. Once in the winter my mother was out on the town. My younger brother and I were watching some TV when there was a knock on the door. There, on the freshly fallen snow, was nothing. No footprints, no tire tracks, nothing. Needless to say I spent the rest of that night with my head buried under the covers. Speaking of doors, once I heard the doorbell ring, seemed innocent enough, but WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOORBELL!! Pictures falling off the wall, creaky floors and long sleepless nights were only minor nuisences we had to deal with everyday. The most disturbing incidences, however, and the most annoying were when the smoke detectors, located in various parts of the trailer, would take turns going off one at a time. \n\nAfter that, they'd go off simultaneously, quite a ruckus. For a long time, I thought I was the only one who felt a presence, then one night, my mother went completely irate screaming "Show yourself, Evelyn! I'm tired of these f*ck*ng games! Show yourself!" We never saw anything. Things continued as they were until we moved. Mr. Umberger sold the land to someone and it became South Brooke, a ritzy subdivision with $500,000+ houses that wouldn't hear of our humble trailer depriciating thier property. However, I believe they'll get theirs, Although they tore the house down for the project, there was a well and a system of underground streams and springs which probably rendered the whole operation illegal. The thing about the springs and wells may not sound important, but in my own personal research I have found negative forces and spirits can channeol themselves through waterways. I'd like to see how South Brooke likes it's neighbors! \n\nI believe I have some pictures of that house somewhere in the mess that is my apartment.\n\n***\n\nThe story I would like to tell is about an apartment building in Spokane, WA. This building is only about seven years old, if y'all are anything like me you expect a haunted house to be all scary and falling down, not clean with nice landscaping. It really started the day after we moved in, my hubby came in from the deck (I am a cigarette nazi - no smoking in ze house!) scared as heck. I have never seen my ex-marine hubby look so scared. He absolutely would not talk about it! hmmmm. \n\nNot two days later my little year and some odd daughter was supposed to be asleep for the night but instead was talking to someone. Of corse, no one was there when I checked, but I swore I could hear an old lady talking to her. I figured it was my dead grandma, she comes to visit now and t

Funny you should ask.  I was JUST re-reading an old story of adventure and mystery at sea, named "The Strange Ordeal of the Normandier," by H.L. Tredee.  He recounted the obsession one of his shipmates had with the cockroaches that infested the old tramp steamer.\n\nSven the sailor read about a sure cure for cockroaches, in a magazine ad.  "Guaranteed to kill all cockroaches or your money back!  Just $5!"\n\nSven sent $5 - a LOT of money in 1926 - for the cure.  He was thrilled when a package was forwarded weeks later to their next port of call.  he sat on his bunk, hands trembling a little, as he unwrapped the package.\n\nInside were two wooden blocks and an instruction sheet.  "Place cockroach on block.  Slam other block on top.  Cockroach elimination gauranteed."

Well, I was very young, and lived up north (in the Bronx).  I did not meet a Black or Puerto Rican person until I had to travel to high school.  For whatever reason, they did not live in our neighborhood (and believe me, our neighborhood was not an expensive one).\n\nI know what I've heard about how horrible it was in the south.  I also remember hearing about the hippies bringing everyone closer together.\n\nSorry I can't be of more help.
