Inventing the railroad from beyond the grave to destroy the town that wronged her was definitely a baller move on Christina's part! Get it, girl! 😄
Love this!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
🤣😆😂Best. Comment. Ever.😂🤣😅
In regard to the first story, people accused Anne Boleyn of being a witch when King Henry VIII was captivated by her charms!
#Truth!
Another interesting video. Here in the UK, there's a history of burying 'witches', suicide victims and criminals at crossroads. We don't know why but it is thought it was to do with superstition that if they rose from the grave they'd not know which way they should travel. There are several sites across the country, best regards.
Local criminals in Britain were often hung at crossroads for the reason you state, which is true !
A rich man getting away with murder,what a novel concept and label the woman a witch. It's a pretty standard way to deal with this unfortunate situation for a child born out of wedlock at that time. A sad ,but well told story. You really are a gifted storyteller!
Thank you Jan! I really appreciate the compliment and support! It’s always great to see you here! 😊😊😊
@@CuriousHistoryYT thanks for the compliment. It's my pleasure to view your very entertaining and informative content.
Well that's certainly a 'twisted" tale! How interesting! I really enjoy these cemetery videos, so fascinating, if not sad and often inhumane. Thank you!
Thank you Kiwi!! 😊😊😊😊😊
These types of stories are always heart breaking, and I find myself often hoping that most of what is told is just legend built up over the years and centuries. Still loving your great channel! Keep up the great work!
I agree. I hope that the legends aren’t true but it’s hard to know for sure after so many years!
Thank you for the warmth and humanity which you bring to these accounts!
Bless you Dolores! 😊😊😊
Calling someone that you have a problem with a witch seemed to be their constant fall back position. No proof necessary, just accuse and hangum! Not unlike today...hmmm...Curious. If we don't learn from History... Really great tale as always. Thank you!
You understand Rick! Great comment!
With all the junk on TV and biased news channels at least you guys at curious give us something to look forward to with your great videos. Always looking forward to your next one !
So very nice of you to say John! Thank you! 😊😊😊
One of my favorite parts of Sunday, goes way too fast. Very interesting tale. My heart goes out to both Christina's, no justice for either one. Great work, sir. 😎
So very nice of you to say Cathy! Thank you! 😊😊😊
What a twisted tale. Being accused of being a witch just because your beautiful then being hung. Then the sad fate for the other woman . Great story John.
Thank you Edward! 😊😊😊
Oh how would I enjoy going to all these places you take us to. Thanks for helping us to visit along with you and especially these important stories of our history.
Thanks for coming along with us in spirit Pamela! 😊
both stories are sick af and shows how far but yet not too far away people in this world has come
I agree Derrick! Thank you for watching!
Very interesting story. We haven’t been for a while, but love the Hanoverton area. Can’t wait for the next show
Thank you Ellie! I really appreciate your support! 😊😊😊
I moved to & now live in Hanoverton, Ohio since July, 2023. I'm curious as to exactly where this particular cemetery is at. I find all this stuff so fascinating.
West side of town. Take 2nd street to cemetery road. Enjoy!
Will definitely watch later. Was scrolling by and was expecting more of a "Fritz Weatherbee" tone of voice. Honestly thought you might have been Fritz for a moment haha. And that definitely warrants at least a watch once the day settles down.
I appreciate that Reddragonlegacy! Thank you!
History class is now in session 👍 thanks for the video.
Thank you Gary! 😊😊😊
Love your comments!
I have a shop in this town and there are many other stories of things that went on in this little town. The Spread Eagle tavern is haunted and other things. It's great to hear of something here
Hi Dan!
Thanks for watching and commenting! We’ve been to The Spread Eagle several times and have made 3 videos there. Quite an amazing place!
Awesome video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching Katie! 😊😊😊
Ok. I'm now caught up to you. I know TH-cam doesn't always inform when a new video is uploaded, so I will be checking in occasionally. This is quite a story. With as old as it is, I doubt we will ever have answers to the questions posed.
I agree Scott. I wish I had the definitive answers but they just aren’t there.
Thanks for all your support!
I really enjoy these videos! 💜
Thanks for sharing content. ✅
Thank YOU for watching! ❤️
Thank you for another walk through history! Very intriguing, indeed! My husband and I need to plan a trip through Ohio history!
Thank you Kathleen! 😊😊😊
There’s a tomb at a graveyard/cemetery in The area of Lansdale and MontgomeryVille Pennsylvania where there is a curse written on the stone to anyone who would mess with it. The old wives tale is that it is a witches tomb
Thank you for this My Creations! We will have to check it out!😊😊😊
Fascinating tale, beautifully told.
Thank you Jay Tay! 😊😊😊
Very, very intriguing tale! 😀 Both young ladies died so young and didn't deserve the fate that was meted out to them. 😥 Hopefully the ones involved in such fates, met their maker who decided their fates to burn in the depths of Hell. We may never know the entire truth. I especially love these tales of witches, especially now during the Spooky Season! ♥🤠
Thank you LadyWhiteWolf! I completely agree with your comment! Well said! 😊😊😊
Great video again Gentlemen. Like all tese stories.
Thank you Fred!!! 😊😊😊
Love hearing you spin a yarn my friend. Its never just the story but its always the narrator.
Thank you BigSi! Very kind of you! 😊😊😊
As always another great story that leaves more questions than answers. Absolutely love the tales from the past and the way your channel leaves us curious for more history. Most Awesome and Thank You……
Thank you Jerry! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊😊
As always a wonderful story told by a great story teller I've been in that cemetery and I have seen Christina Sloan's grave and the local folklore that goes along with it I have a friend that lives off of State Route 30 in Kensington that's how I'm aware of it but thank you for telling it I enjoyed hearing it
Glad you enjoyed it Thom! 😊😊😊
@@CuriousHistoryYT you have no idea how much I enjoy your video I think that they are very unique and the way that they are put together edited I guess it's called don't know much about the video world other than it must be a lot of hard work and determination to make it presentable and I think you all do a remarkable job
We do try Thom. It is a lot of work. Little John is up to his eyeballs in editing right now. 4 more to finish before Halloween!
@@CuriousHistoryYT wow I'll let you get back to your work I'm assuming that little John must be your son and you are also John I'm Thom and it's my pleasure to meet so to speak
Thanks Thom. Yep I’m John and my son is also John. Great to connect with you regularly as well my friend! 😊😊😊
Very interesting story John. I enjoyed the video as well.
Thank you James!
@@CuriousHistoryYT You're welcome John.
What a good professional video. KUDOS
Thank you for watching Country Collapse! 😊😊😊
Love your channel
I live in Ohio so I appreciate the content
Thank you
Happy Halloween 🎃
Thank you KarLicia! 😊😊😊😊😊
Wow, I live in Columbiana county and never heard this tale..this is really interesting...
😊😊😊
This is one of the cursed towns,there are many.
💙love the history. Thankyou for bringing the to us.
Thank you Lisa! 😊😊😊
My family has a plot up there. I never heard this.
You are so good at this!!! Excellent storytelling, great rhythm and nuance to your speaking, with just the right hints of creepy (the story, not you). Keep up the great work!!!
Love it!! Thank you Michelle!! 😊😊😊
Wow, the Sloan family created quite a soap opera for the folks of Hanoverton to watch. I wonder if the chains and talisman were not so much for a "witch" per se, but a superstitious protection and insurance that all the secrets of George Sloan will stay buried beneath the ground in the unmarked grave, especially, since it seemed he had quite a few secrets spread around town. As always, that was an amazing walk through history. Thank you!
Thank you Loriann! 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you 👍
😊😊😊
You’re a gifted storyteller! Fascinating tales, there are probably threads of truth in each. Witches were sometimes buried in a far corner of the cemetery. Also instead of being buried facing East, (as done in a Christian burial), they would be buried facing North or South.
I have heard that Dana! This grave was definitely facing East.
Another great video love it
Thank you Elaine! 😊😊😊😊
How very sad for both Christinas. I believe they both existed, and considering the history I can see how the towns people would rather forget them both as myths.
People are very strange at times, especially with young ladies with an almost ethereal beauty about them. You would think they would be showered with attention and suitors, but not always the case.
We went to school with a young lady who was such a beauty as that, and it was quite difficult for her. Teachers informed her she would not get off easy in their classes, which she never had expected. One teacher even accused her for talking all through a class the day prior, which she didn’t even attend as she had been out for a doctor’s appointment that day. He threatened to flunk her and suspend her for 3 days, but luckily she had a doctors excuse on file at the office which proved she was not even in class.
The other girls would harass her during lunch time, and when she would go outside they followed her. One day one of the girls jumped her from behind and started a fight with her thinking because she was also a gentle spirited person she would be an easy fight. The girl judged wrongly, and lost the fight.
The boys all adored her, thought she was beautiful, but never spoke to her much at all except to harass her. They all wanted to ask her out, but since she was so beautiful they decided she would just turn them down, so none of the boys ever asked her out. We knew her well then, and she was a very sweet soul behest by many sorrows sadly. Last I heard she was not married even to this day. It was said she married once, but not long after he tried to do her in as she slept for no reason at all, and she left him, and never married again.
So, when we see one blessed with such ethereal beauty it can be said they are likely not as blessed as we think their lives would be. Perhaps when a young lady is young she may only ask God for enough beauty to get her by with, and leave the rest for another. You never know what comes with beauty that sears at mens hearts that can make them into beasts. It likely has no blessings attached at all.
By the way, another excellent historical video about Ohio. The state certainly has a great deal of history that is very fascinating. Thank you for sharing this story of two unfortunate Christinas.
What a fantastic comment! Thank you BlueBerryGirl!
It is a reminder that no matter what others see, everyone has something they are going thru. No one has a perfect life.
@@CuriousHistoryYT
What you said is very true. We all have things we are dealing with in life. For certain it isn’t a road for the faint hearted.
Amen
Great story sir
Thank you Dylan! Great comment! 😊😊😊
Amazing video 😊
Amazing comment! 😊😊😊
Huh, never heard of this one!
Extremely local lore on this one Elizabeth! Thanks for watching!
🌹💙 Thank you immensely for all of your great content and methodical research; I especially enjoy your witch videos-maybe you’d consider these ones as a series/playlist? In the coming days I will become a patron of yours! Keep up the awesome work. Bright Blessings! 🌞🙏 PS: Thanks for the live link to your patreon and I greatly appreciate how you list your patreon members “within the video” and not at the very end. 😘
Thank you Mojave Daemon Witch! I realized a few weeks ago that viewers were dropping off at the end of the video and not seeing their names. Had to find a way to fix that.
Thanks for the thought of a witch playlist. I can create that for sure! 😊😊😊
@@CuriousHistoryYT 🌹💙 You’re quite welcome. Another suggestion is to consider putting a live link to your patreon on your homepage “About Description” if possible, and live links in every video description box for patrons and for one time donations. People might more likely become a patreon or make occasional donations when they’re able to, especially those with tight budgets. Bright Blessings Friend. 🌞🙏
Thank you for the suggestion!
Because they would act as a warning to all who travelled by. Hence gibbets on hills etc.
Ah! To hear this before halloween! Shades of Sleepy Hollow!
😊😊😊😊😊
I thought normally back in those times which’s and alike were berried separate from everyone else and was considered unclean.
Actually in most cemeteries everyone was buried facing East so the spirits could rise with the sun. Witches however were buried facing north but in the same cemetery.
I would had helped her come back. She needs to run this back with them.
Interested as always
😊😊😊
This near the Daniel boon forest right.. I will need too hire a local if I flim there.
I don’t think it is. Daniel Boone forest is in Kentucky I think
@@CuriousHistoryYT yes I mixed it up..I thought next summer or spring we will send our location scout to your town and look around. I like that cemetery what I see of it.. I have a writer friend of mine in New York city I will call him this weekend.
Good evening, another sad story. They didn't deserve to die so young.Have a good day friend . Linda 😆 😆 👋
Thank you Linda! Hope your day goes great!
But why make it the biggest headstone ?
That’s a great question!
Love the spooky stuff
Thank you Tanette! Love the comment! 😊😊😊
Cant wait to see more
No I do not feel Christina was a witch. This was a tragedy by an evil evil man. So sad for Christina number 2, also. Some men just never learn I guess. Thank you for another great, but sad story.
Shirl K - Texas 🐾🐾😎
Thank you Shirl! I feel the same. Two lives lost for things that weren’t their doing. So very sad.
there is nothing wrong with being a witch or cursing your murderers
It didn't do, for a woman to be too.... Too old, too rich, too beautiful, too independent, too different. Conform & be obedient, or we will name you a Witch.
Very true!
So very sad. It seems that we hear this scenario acted out time and time again, even unto the present day. A woman doesn’t like or want to have anything to do with a man and instead of receiving that rejection with dignity, and moving on with their life to find love elsewhere, they instead turn their mind to punishment for the woman not being interested in them. So immature and both socially and emotionally stunted. I used to be married to a man that was a lot like this. Any time he didn’t get his way he acted like a spoiled child, screaming, yelling, pulling at his hair, throwing things, breaking things, destroying several very nice pieces of furniture in the process, doing everything but throwing himself on the floor and beating the floor with his fists and kicking his feet (although it wouldn’t have surprised me if he had). The first few times it happened, it was quite alarming. After that it was grab the popcorn and watch the show. It was comical. A grown assed man acting like a toddler. Heck, when my daughter was that little, she didn’t even act like that, ever. I have since found that men that act like that weren’t ever guided to learn less destructive ways to express their anger . Did I mention that he was an only child and a huge Momma’s boy? I can happily report that I have since divorced this small minded, fit throwing little boy and am now married to a real man. Looks it, acts it. When I look back upon my much younger self, I can’t help but think “What the heck was I thinking?” With age comes wisdom and experience. Some people come into our lives to be a blessing, while others are a lesson. I learned mine, for sure.
A real growing experience. Glad you’re past that! Unbelievable. ❤️
Is this near Cleveland or Cincinnati area..is it out in the middle of nowhere. I might flim my movie 🎥. In this area now that I've seen this vid..
Hi Peter
Hanoverton is In Columbiana County which is in Eastern Ohio. Very quiet and rural.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Is this is true you give no dates and that would be easy to find
Another strange story!!
Good one though!😘
Thank you Sandy! 😊😊😊
Liked the story!
Love the comment!
Both tales ring true, hard to know which one is correct. Both are tragic also.
I agree Cyndi!
Interesting.
😊😊😊
So this is why Ohio is memed on
Are there motels in the area, also Bigfoot sightings area. Any woods 🪵.in fact who owns the cemetery.
Cemetery is owned by the town of Hanoverton.
The Spread Eagle Tavern in Hanoverton is an incredible Bed and Breakfast full of local history. If your looking for a hotel you’re going to want to head to Lisbon or Salem Ohio. Both will do you well.
It is in fact near the heart of Bigfoot country. Most sightings in that area happen in the Salt Fork area as well as Malvern Ohio.
Crazy story. Now what IF yo combine the two? So we have a pastor that stalks his victim and then gaslights the entire town to get his way. A father who can't seem to keep his pants buttoned and gets others to do his dirty work. What it seems like we have is two "influential and powerful men" acting self entitled and later on, rather vengeful. Like spoiled brats ;) It was a man's world back then as well. If there was two Christinas then they both were the helpless victims of a pair of degenerate men who only cared for themselves. It always amazes me that a person can whip up an entire town to turn on an individual but even today we see that played out too. They're just not accused of being witches.
Absolutely correct! Well said! 😊😊😊
Go to the government library I bet you'll find more information there about her
Good thinking!😊😊😊
I used to have a paranormal investigation team when I lived down in Georgia and I used to live on the witches hanging grounds in Smyrna and we found the records from the Smyrna Witch Trials were they hundred and twelve witches in the government Library and they hung them like right behind the Air Force Base in a small area also they executed so many people accused of Witchcraft and so many states from South Carolina Georgia Florida Ohio that a lot of the stuff is off the records and you have to go digging and either the old County or government libraries cuz a lot of people don't realize that there's a difference between the public the government and the local library I actually found out the trailer park we used to live in there was a witch that was hung in our front yard
Nice! Sounds like an awesome experience!
Town without God as i thought
Nah God punished them for killing an innocent girl just because a man could not control his obsessive lust !
either story fits my conclusion
What do you know about the country Club wheresiko Dick Cheney hangs out at? Any Bunker or Nuclear Silo Rumors? Do you Know Jaasz Family of Crime Child Traffickers?
💯👍👍
Thanks Curtis! 😊😊😊
