    About this ebook

    Featuring:

    The spirit of Henry VIII apparently sleeps peacefully. But the two wives he executed – Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard – still haunt the world they once lived in... Here is the story of Anne Boleyn, who was believed to be guilty of treason, incest, adultery and... witchcraft!

    A November evening in 1974. The New York police are called to 112 Avenue, Amityville on Long Island. Six people have been killed in the six-bedroom house in Dutch Colonial style, with swimming pool and boathouse. This brutal mass murder is only the beginning of one of the most controversial stories of the supernatural the world has ever seen...

    In her book on spiritualism "There Is No Death", published in 1891, Florence Marryat told the story of a séance that was held in a haunted house in Bruges, Belgium. This house would soon be known as "Bruges-la-Morte", because of the famous novel of Georges Rodenbach...

    This is probably the oldest ghost story in the history of aviation. The little Irishman Desmond Arthur, black-haired and grey-eyed, gained his Royal Aero Club certificate in June 1912 and was killed in May 1913 when the BE2 biplane he was flying over Montrose in Scotland folded up in the air. But it was no flying accident. It was murder...

    In Germany a submarine was called an U-boat, or "Unterseeboot". At the outbreak of World War One, Germany had 33 of them. With the possibility of rich prizes off the British and Irish coasts and in the Channel, in early 1916 an entire flotilla of 24 U-boats was launched in the North Sea. One of them was the U-65, and from the very beginning there was talk about "jinxes" and "hoodoos"...

    In 1930, the British newspaper The Daily News had a story that first was published by a New York newspaper. If a former member of the Imperial German Intelligence Service was to be believed, British troops had in 1914 really seen what they called The Angels of Mons...

    Patrick Bernauw

    Het Smashwords ebook-platform van auteur, regisseur, performer en docent literaire creatie Patrick Bernauw. Writer of historical faction, horror and fantasy. Playwright, performer and producer of "alternate reality games", murder & mystery games, city games and teambuilding events. *** Patrick Bernauw werd geboren op 15 april 1962, en woont sindsdien in Erembodegem. Hij was radio-, tv- en stripscenarist, hoorspelregisseur, hoofdredacteur van de Historische Verhalen, en leidt nu een eigen productiehuis voor interactief theater, dat zich de jongste tijd vooral concentreert op moordspelen en stadsspelen voor teambuilding, bedrijfsevents, feesten enz... Sinds 1981 schrijft hij romans, verhalen, essays, toneelstukken en radio- en televisie-scenario's - zowel voor volwassenen als voor de jeugd. Tot zijn bekendste proza-werken behoren de docudetective "Mysteries van het Lam Gods" (1991) en, in samenwerking met Guy Didelez, de historische jeugdroman "In het Teken van de Ram" (1996) die in eigen land werd onderscheiden met de Prijs Knokke-Heist voor de Beste Jeugdroman en in Duitsland met de Eule des Monats. Zijn proza-werk voor de jeugd werd voorts nog twee maal bekroond met de John Flandersprijs voor Vlaamse Filmpjes en werd vertaald in het Frans, het Duits, het Noors, het Italiaans, het Spaans en het Pools. Zijn meest recente werken zijn historische thrillers voor volwassenen: "Het Bloed van het Lam" (2006), "Nostradamus in Orval" (2007), "Het Illuminati Complot" (2008), "De paus van Satan" (2011) en "De Zaak Louis XVII" (2012). Voor de BRT(N)/VRT, een aantal Nederlandse omroepen, Radio Ostankino (Moskou), New Radio New York en voor de Vlaamse vrije radio's schreef en in het laatste geval regisseerde en produceerde Patrick Bernauw ettelijke luisterspelen. In 1994 ontving hij voor zijn luisterspel "La Comédie Française" de Prijs van de Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen voor toneel. Voor de VTM was hij co-scenarist van de series "Meester!" en "Wittekerke", en hoofdschrijver en storyliner van de jeugdsoap "Wat nu weer!?" Voor de VRT was hij co-scenarist van de sitcom "Alle Maten" en van de detective-reeks "Sedes & Belli". Met zijn toneelstukken, die hij vaak zelf regisseerde, viel hij eveneens regelmatig in de prijzen. Dat was onder meer het geval met "De Dochter van Calamity Jane", geschreven in samenwerking met Guy Didelez (Wim Verbeke Prijs voor Jeugdtheater, 1997) en de thriller "De Minister en het Maffia Meisje" (Sabam Prijs voor Toneel, 1999). Hij was ook actief in het beroepstheater. Zo schreef hij samen met Guy Didelez het figurentheaterstuk voor kleuters, "Beerenbodegem" (Taptoe, 1997) en met Frank Van Laecke "Semper Vivat" (Taptoe, 2005). In 1998 richtte Patrick samen met zijn broer Fernand het muziektheatergezelschap Compagnie de Ballade op, dat zowel voor een volwassenen publiek als voor jongeren speelt. Patrick Bernauw schrijft niet alleen de teksten waarvoor zijn broer Fernand de muziek componeert, maar regisseert de stukken ook en acteert/zingt erin mee. Met "Het Ware Verhaal van Calamity Jane" en met "De Sterke Verhalen Blues" trok hij jarenlang door het hele Vlaamse land. In 2005 werd Compagnie de Ballade onderscheiden met de prestigieuze Visser Neerlandia Prijs voor Musical, voor de productie "Scharpenelle". Momenteel is hij vooral actief als scenarist en producent van teambuilding moordspelen en stadsspelen. Samen met fotograaf Marc Borms werkt hij aan de reeks Mysterieus België, fotozoektochten op basis van een fotoboek. Compagnie de Ballade heeft hij heropgericht als productiehuis voor audio theater, waarmee hij is teruggekeerd naar een oude liefde, het luisterspel, en ook als performer een tweede adem gevonden lijkt te hebben.

      THE GHOST OF ANNA BOLEYN

      The spirit of Henry VIII apparently sleeps peacefully. But the two wives he executed – Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard – still haunt the world they once lived in... This is the story of Anne Boleyn, who was believed to be guilty of treason, incest, adultery and... witchcraft!

      As a young girl, Anne Boleyn was sent to the French court and exposed to the influence of an immoral society. While her sister Mary was the mistress of Henry VIII, Anne thought she could do better and become the wife of the King of England. For six years she played the hard-to-get game she learned in Paris, and when Catherine of Aragon failed to produce a male heir, both Anne and Henry felt she could be the next Queen of England...

      It is a fact that Anne was an arrogant Queen, causing endless troubles by her jealousies and improprieties. But she did not deserve to be accused of the worst of crimes, such as treason, incest (with her brother George, Lord Rochford), adultery (with four other men) and witchcraft.

      To marry Anne, Henry broke with Rome and brought Protestantism to England. Roman Catholic writers have never forgiven her and attributed unspeakable crimes to her. In 1536, bishop Fisher was beheaded for refusing to acknowledge Henry as head of the Church. It was said Anne had his severed head brought to her on a dish, so she could stick a silver bodkin through his tongue. There also were rumors that the concubine had tried to poison Queen Catherine and Princess Mary, and that she – as a witch – was devoted to the foulest diabolism.

      The one and only true crime of Anne Boleyn was that she – as Catherine of Aragon – was not able to produce an all-important male heir. So, Henry turned from her in disgust, not suspecting that the despised daughter she gave birth to would become England's finest Queen, Elizabeth I...

      In April 1536, five men were arrested as being Anne's lovers, including her brother. Before they were tortured, all men said Anne was innocent, but under torture the Flemish musician Mark Smeaton accused her of being unfaithful to the King. Anne was arrested and, together with her brother, taken to the Tower of London.

      In his anxiety to rid himself of her, Henry said Anne had bewitched him. At that time, it was widely believed Anne possessed a third nipple and a sixth finger on her left hand, and that - as a child - she had a curious dislike of church-bells. This was an aversion common to witches. Now it was clear that Anne Boleyn had entered into a pact with the Devil and that the King had been a victim of her devilish sorcery...

      The five men were executed on May 17 and two days later Anne was beheaded. She wore a gay robe of damask over an underskirt of red and upon her wonderful black hair she had a pearl-embroidered hood. As she stood there on the scaffold, her dark eyes shining, laughing in the face of death, she made a joke about her little neck and the skill of the executioner. Her bravery caused the Governor of the Tower to write that this lady had much joy and pleasure in death.

      Anne was beheaded in the Tower and buried there. Her scornful courage was open to various interpretations by the superstitious minds of the 16th century. Some thought that her bravery merely proved she was anxious to go to her true consort, the Prince of Darkness...

      In the Tower of London, Anne penned this poem:

      Oh Death

      Rock me asleep

      Bring on my quiet rest

      Let
