Odd Fellows Home Location: Liberty, Missouri This mansion was built for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, founded in 1819, as a central hub for the organization in Missouri. The fraternal organization resembled the Masons, with the goals of promoting brotherhood, loyalty and community outreach. The IOOF was also known for “secret rituals,” many of which were performed in the Odd Fellows Home throughout the 19th century. That is, of course, when they weren’t taking care of the at-risk members of their community at their 200-plus-acre complex with a school, nursing home, hospital and orphanage. While the complex fell to disrepair (aside from one building that now holds a functioning winery), the Odd Fellows left a skeleton of one of their members—”George”—behind, which was said to be used in the strange initiation rituals. This is just one of the urban legends from every state. Villa de Vecchi Location: Cortenova, Italy This beautiful mansion sits among the trees in the mountains of Cortenova, beside Lake Como.

In the late 19th century, Count Felix De Vecchi commissioned architect Alessandro Sidoli to… CONTINUE READING…

Getting enough protein daily is essential for your overall health. Healthy protein sources include eggs, nuts, lean meats, fish, dairy, and certain grains. Proteins are a large category of molecules that support cell structure, immune function, movement, chemical reactions, hormone synthesis, and more. They’re all made up of tiny building blocks called amino acids. Nine of these are essential–meaning your body needs them but can’t make them on its own, so you need to get them in your diet. Not only is protein essential for your health but consuming it can keep you feeling full and satisfied, which supports a healthy body weight . The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is set at 0.36 grams (g) of protein per pound of your body weight (0.8 g per kilogram). Remember that this reflects the minimum protein required to meet your body’s needs. Here are 16 delicious foods that are high in protein. 1. Eggs Whole eggs are a good source of protein that’s easy to absorb, and they’re also an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Remember that egg whites are almost pure protein, but whole eggs that include the yolk provide many more nutrients, including vitamins, minerals,… CONTINUE READING…

This once-beautiful Greek Revival mansion in Uniontown, Alabama looks like it’s being swallowed up by the earth, and its tragic past certainly lives up to the haunting aesthetic. In January of 1994, the remains of 13-year-old Allan Lucy were found buried beneath the front porch of the Hardie-Coleman House—or, as it’s better known online, the Lucy Murder House. Allan, who lived in the home with his adoptive parents, Phillip and Margaret Lucy, disappeared without a trace in May of 1985. In the months that followed, Jason Lucy, Phillip and Margaret’s biological son, told classmates that his father killed Allan and buried him in the backyard. For years, no one believed Jason’s story, even though rumors about the Lucy family swirled around town long before Allan disappeared. Decades after Allan Lucy’s murderer was brought to justice, the house has still not recovered—largely due to environmental injustices that have driven many residents out of Uniontown and left those who remain fighting for justice of their own. Lennox Castle Lennox Castle in Scotland was built in 1812 for John Lennox Kincaid Lennox. He was supposedly a distant relative of the Clan Kincaid, who were descendants of some of the notable ancient Earls of… CONTINUE READING…

We live in a society that tends to think of itself as being rather inclusive and they may even think that we don’t judge people any longer. The fact of the matter is, however, many people do ‘judge a book by its cover’ and will size someone up by simply taking a glance in their direction. If you take a moment to look behind the scenes and really get to know somebody, however, you might be surprised with what you find. This type of situation came up when a young farmer moved from North Dakota to Florida. He was just starting out at a job and his boss yelled at him but when you read his reply, you will see why this is the funniest joke you will hear all day. A young guy from North Dakota moves to Florida and goes to a big “everything under one roof” department store looking for a job. The Manager says, “Do you have any sales experience?” The kid says “Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in North Dakota.” Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he’d give him a shot, so he gave him the job…. CONTINUE READING…
