the following articles contain death by maggots, a man crushed under an elevator, killer children and more...

Re: Horrifying Vintage Newspaper Articles

Awesome post! Those titles are wonderfully dramatic: "Mangled In A Butchers' Wagon", "Another Victim Of The Elevator" etc. These articles could turn into interesting songs as well, challenging Nick Cave's "Murder Ballads"

Re: Horrifying Vintage Newspaper Articles

I love how the doctor who screwed up the arm was "warned to leave the country"
People didn't fuck around back then. You kill my kid, we kill you.

Also the three year old with the foot bit off......he will probably die? Wtf?
