From Norman battlegrounds to a gilded cage fit for a Queen, Wexford’s most notorious mansion hides a tragic truth beneath its satanic folklore. Wexford, Ireland. Along the bleak, wind-swept landscape of the Hook Peninsula stands Loftus Hall, widely regarded as the most haunted house in Ireland.

But strip away the supernatural folklore, and the true history of the hall reveals […] -

"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a song written and recorded by American music group #CharlieDanielsBand and released on their 1979 album #MillionMileReflections. The song is written in the key of #DMinor. The song's verses are closer to being spoken rather than sung (i.e., #recitation), and tell the story of a young man named Johnny, in a variant on the classic #dealWithTheDevil. The performances of the #Devil and Johnny are played as instrumental bridges.

"The Forward compiled and reviewed video of 10 #pageants in the #US since 2020 that feature a #Jewish character named “zhyd,” “Moshko” or “Chaim,” and sometimes his wife, usually named Sarah. All were posted to social media, in many cases by the #churches themselves.
The pageants mix and match a few motifs, all showing these two #Jews in a negative light as they try to lure #Christians to commit sin. Some tempt the faithful with goods, loans or liquor. Some mock believers for worshipping #Christ; curse Christians; summon and collude with the #devil, or betray baby #Jesus to #KingHerod, who is seeking to kill him.
Most of the #actors playing the zhyd role wore what look to be #peyos, the sidelocks traditionally worn by #Orthodox #Jews. In one instance, the character wore an exaggerated #fakenose.
The Forward located photos from an additional eight pageants for which video is not publicly available that show actors with what appear to be peyos or a fake nose."

There was once a princess in Goslar who was so beautiful that her own father lusted after her and sought to marry her!
It took the combined efforts of the Virgin Mary _and_ the Devil to get her out of this mess.
