A lot was happening in Chicago the year of 1893, The World Fair was in town for half the year and it brought in millions of people from all over the world. Many people would vanish during this time, never to be seen again. Little did the public know that besides fun and games at the fair that a deranged serial killer was lurking about.

First opened in 1888, when iconic families like the Vanderbilts, Morgans, Pulitzers, and Rockefellers were members of the Jekyll Island Club. They came for the winters by private rail cars and luxurious yachts. The days were filled with red-bug races on the beach, golf along the ocean, tennis on grass courts, and dinner lasted for hours in the Grand Dining Room.

The old Jewish cemetery near Heinsheim, Bad Rappenau, Germany. This cemetery was established in the 16th century and is one of the largest and best preserved Jewish cemeteries in south-west Germany.
The photo shows the view over the eastern enclosure wall to the first row of gravestones, which date from the late 18th/early 19th century. The photo was taken on an autumn evening shortly before sunset, hence the saturated, but somewhat subdued colours.

In 1898, for nine months, two lion brothers would terrorize Tsavo, their main targets were men helping construct a railway bridge going over the Tsavo River. Many men would die brutal horrific deaths, being attacked, dragged away and consumed by the feline predators, until Colonel Lieutenant Patterson took them down.
