Scold’s Bridal, early 1900’s in Ireland. Also sometimes called a witch’s bridle, a brank’s bridle, or simply branks, it was an instrument of punishment, used as a form of torture and public humiliation. The device was an iron muzzle in an iron framework that enclosed the head and slid into the mouth and pressed down on top of the tongue as a compress. This prevented speaking and resulted in many unpleasant side effects for the wearer, including excessive salivation and fatigue in the mouth. The scold’s bridle was used on women, the counterpart of the stocks and pillory used to punish men.

A police officer comes face to face with Ming, a 425 pound tiger, who was secretly living in a New York apartment, 2003.

Ming lived semi-openly with his owner, Antoine Yates, in a room of Yates’ five bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of a large public housing complex in Harlem. Several other normal and exotic pets were found in the apartment, including an alligator named Al in another bedroom. Yates received a 5 month prison sentence for reckless endangerment.

Ming’s existence became known and reported in the media after Yates was taken to the Harlem Hospital Center emergency room with bites on his arm and leg. At the time of treatment, Yates claimed that his pet pit bull had bitten him, however, the medical personnel were suspicious, because the width of the bite marks suggested an animal with a much larger jaw.

Ming was taken to Noah’s Lost Ark Animal Sanctuary in Berlin Center, Ohio, where he died from natural causes in February 2019.

In 1978, two boys digging in their yard in Los Angeles uncovered a buried 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS that had been reported stolen more than three years earlier. The discovery became a national news story because of the car’s rarity and the bizarre circumstances of its recovery. Investigators found that whoever buried the Ferrari had tried to protect it with plastic, carpets, and tarps, though the vehicle still suffered damage while underground. The recovered Ferrari attracted enormous public attention and was eventually put up for auction by the insurance company that had paid out the theft claim.

The mystery was later solved when authorities discovered the theft had actually been part of an insurance-fraud scheme. The owner, Rosendo Cruz, had allegedly conspired with thieves to make the car disappear so he could collect insurance money. Instead of dismantling the Ferrari as planned, the thieves buried it with the intention of retrieving it later, but never did. After its recovery, the car was restored by a new owner and became famous for its unusual history, even carrying the vanity license plate “DUG UP.” By 2019, it had been fully restored and was still being driven and displayed at car events.

Japanese physician and pathologist Fukushi Masaichi collected tattooed skin from the dead during the early 20th century.

Masaichi first became interested in tattoos when he noticed that the tattoo ink in the skin killed the skin lesions of syphilis. This led him in 1926 to study the art of Japanese tattoo (Irezumi). He would lead autopsies on corpses, removing the skin and conducting research on methods to preserve the skin. In the following years he collected an archive of about 2000 “hides”.

Masaichi put some of his unique collection of tattooed hides and groomed skin that had been outsourced in the early 1940s in an air raid shelter. Since they were protected from the effects of WW2 they survived the bombings. These skins are all that remains of his collection.
