In popular culture, Muramasa swords have been often depicted as cursed swords with demonic powers. Oscar Ratti and Adele Westbrook said that Muramasa "was a most skillful smith but a violent and ill-balanced mind verging on madness, that was supposed to have passed into his blades. They were popularly believed to hunger for blood and to impel their warrior to commit murder or suicide."[13] It has also been told that once drawn, a Muramasa blade has to draw blood before it can be returned to its scabbard, even to the point of forcing its wielder to wound himself or commit suicide.[14] Thus, it is thought of as a demonic cursed blade that creates bloodlust in those who wield it.

They murdered ten victims, mostly teenagers, most of whom they kept as sex slaves before killing them.

Gerald Armond Gallego (a.k.a. "Stephen Feil" or "Stephen Styles")[1] was born on 17 July 1946 in Sacramento, California. His mother was a prostitute, while his estranged father was a criminal who in 1955 became the first man executed in the Mississippi gas chamber, for the killing of a police officer during a prison escape.[2] Gallego began his criminal career at age thirteen, when he sexually abused a six-year-old girl.[3] He had 23 arrests and served time after being convicted of robberyprior to his murder spree.[1]

Gallego worked as a bartender and truck driver.[1] He was married a total of seven times, including two marriages to the same woman. He was still married to a previous wife when he married Charlene Williams.[3]

Charlene Adell (Williams) Gallego[edit]

Charlene Adell Williams was born on 10 October 1956 in Stockton, California. She was a smart, shy child from a supportive home.[4] The trajectory of her life began to change when, as a young adult, she started using drugs and alcohol. She was married twice before meeting Gallego.[5]

A compendium of short stories. Most of these are actually pretty scary, but as always NSFW cynical readings of scary stories found online.

Just because you can doesn't mean that you should. Todays episode covers some of the more ridiculous failed attempts at crime. Crimes of stupidity.

The Hatfield–McCoy feud, also described by journalists as the Hatfield–McCoy war, involved two rural families of the West Virginia–Kentucky area along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River in the years 1863–1891. The Hatfields of West Virginia were led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield while the McCoys of Kentucky were under the leadership of Randolph "Ole Ran'l" McCoy. Those involved in the feud were descended from Joseph Hatfield and William McCoy (born c. 1750). The feud has entered the American folklore lexicon as a metonym for any bitterly feuding rival parties. 

William McCoy, the patriarch of the McCoys, was born in Ireland around 1750 and many of his ancestors hailed from Scotland.[1] The family, led by grandson Randolph McCoy, lived mostly on the Kentucky side of Tug Fork (a tributary of the Big Sandy River).[2] The Hatfields, led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield, son of Ephraim and Nancy (Vance) Hatfield, lived mostly on the West Virginia side.[3] The majority of the Hatfields, although living in Mingo County (then part of Logan County), West Virginia, fought on the Confederate side in the American Civil War; most McCoys, living in Pike County, Kentucky, also fought for the Confederates;[4] with the exception of Asa Harmon McCoy, who fought for the Union. The first real violence in the feud was the death of Asa Harmon McCoy as he returned from the war, murdered by a group of Confederate Home Guards called the Logan Wildcats. Devil Anse Hatfield was a suspect at first, but was later confirmed to have been sick at home at the time of the murder. It was widely believed that his uncle, Jim Vance, a member of the Wildcats, committed the murder.[5]
