"I Am Condemned!" The Most Shocking Funeral in the History of Paris
THE CONVERSION OF ST. BRUNO taken from the book, “Hell: If There Is One, What is It, and How to Avoid It” by Monsignor Louis-Gaston de Ségur in 1876."In the life of St. Bruno, founder of the Carthusians, there’s a story which has been studied very thoroughly by the very doctors of the Church, and which presents itself to the most formal criticism of all the historical characters of authenticity; an event that occurred in Paris in the middle of the day, in the presence of many thousands of witnesses, whose details have been collected by its contemporaries, and which has given rise to a great religious Order.A famous doctor from the University of Paris named Raymond Diocres had just died, leaving universal admiration among all his students.

This Book Sparked a Worldwide Treasure Hunt in 1979
Watch the video to see how to crack the code:https://youtu.be/kIbatXw31pMBritish artist Kit Williams published Masquerade, a children's book which combined fantasy storytelling with a real-world treasure hunt. The 1979 book tells a whimsical story about the moon sending a golden hare sculpture as a gift to the sun, with a rabbit named Jack Hare acting as the messenger. However, Jack loses the gift on his journey, and readers are challenged to find it themselves, in real life—prompting a national treasure hunt across Britain. The treasure was real: an 18-karat gold hare adorned with jewels, hidden somewhere in the countryside.
