Deep in Wisconsin lies Saint Nazianz - a tiny town with one of the darkest paranormal reputations in the Midwest. Founded in 1854 by German priest Father Ambrose Oschwald, this religious commune was meant to be paradise. Instead, it became something far more sinister.
When Oschwald died in 1873, houses shook across town simultaneously. His body never decomposed for 53 years. For over 150 years, Saint Nazianz has been plagued by supernatural reports including the abandoned JFK Prep School that investigators call one of Wisconsin’s most haunted locations.
Join me as we explore documented history, witness testimonies, and the ongoing mystery of whether this former religious colony remains cursed.
