Ontopic Post interesting stuff that's happened in your family.

I ha e absolutely nothing to add in this thread. My family never has anything interesting happen.
 
My friend is still living in the house where her son murdered her husband by stabbing him repeatedly and then cutting his head off. I'm not sure I could ever go back to that house. She cleaned it up herself and then remodeled the room where it happened. I just don't even know how someone faces that. I'd have sent other people to get my stuff, hired people to clean it up, and moved.

Boggles my mind too. I mean I know someone has to live there - unless they burn the place down like the ex of my friend did after he murdered her. But still not sure I could do that myself.

oh hell no!!!
 
Family rumor: my great grandfather immigrated to the US after sneaking out of Poland in the early 1900s hidden in the back of a hay wagon. I don't know if that is true. Only person the family who knew, my great aunt, died years ago and I don't know if she kept family ancestry and/or accounts written down and who has it now. :(
 
Aunt just recently spent several hours shopping for pajamas for our grandmother, she hated the ones she picked out.

She then said, to my mom and grandma "If I had a gun I don't know which of you I would shoot first" completely deadpan/serious apparently

A little on the insane side :eek:
 
Family legend has it, that our family left Ireland when the patriarch of the family beat another man to death with his bare fists (no idea over what) and he was told to beat it or hang.
Aside from that were just a long line of hillbillys, farmers, factory workers and criminals.

My Oirish family skipped town in 1842 and ended up in Sag Harbor, Long Island which was a big whaling port. There's still a street there named after them.

Ladybutt's grandpop apparently killed a waitress and immediately went home and packed up the family and moved from Wisconsin (or something like that) to Minnesota.
Half a dozen kids at that time
 
Whooooaaaaa, I need to catch up itt!! Looks like lots of interesting stuff to read. I will def be back later with a cappuccino, to read. :)


A few things about me before I go..

My German grandmother emigrated to the US when she was three. She remembered getting on the boat & there being lots of people on another boat with their arms in the air, (Heil Hitler style), yelling.

Her father was eventually murdered in the US. He was walking down a street in town & someone pushed him over a bridge into an on coming train. :/

No one knows what he did for work, not even his daughters. (My grandmother & sister). But, they had lots of money.
His wife, my great grandmother, never spoke about him after he was killed. Only of dates. Like when they got married.... Kids born. Etc.
She wouldn't speak English.


My father's side was instructed by his father to not speak of their native American Heritage. No one knows why.
He served in WWII, but no one knows what he did. I'm only close to my father's sister, whom I've never met, but we feel like we have thru Facebook. :fly:
So many fucking mysteries in my family, it's sickening.
