The main religion of the Roman Empire was Paganism and Christianity was feared by the establishment. The emerging religion was perceived to be undermining the Roman morale and order

George took a stand at the city of Nicomedia, in Palestine. John Clemence said: “George tore down the Emperor’s edict and worked to alleviate the suffering of Christians in the area.

Diocletian ordered George to be tortured until he renounced his faith. George refused to submit and was beheaded on April 23 303AD.

Later, they went to Glamis Castle and the Earl of the castle put them in a secret room of the castle. They died enclosed in it. Many years later, Lord Strathmore, another Earl, found the skeletons.

One day a workman saw the monster, and George Lyon sent him and his family to Australia. Today, people at the castle can hear a child crying at night.
The last story is about the ghost of Lady Janet. The King James V of Scotland hated her because she was from an enemy clan and he burned her at the stake. Janet's ghost returned to Glamis Castle and she is floating around the clock tower with a red glow around her head.

And he talks him about an investigation that a group of Americans made with modern equipment in 1972.

Jackson says that this was lie but Jock says that this was true.

I liked this book, but it was too short. I like to read and I think that is gret. All my friends did read the book, so I don't recommend it to their. I liked The Loch Ness Monster, I believe in it. I don't know more books from this author.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are my favourite band. They're an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, in 1983. For most of its existence, the band has consisted of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The band's varied musical style has fused traditional rock and funk with various elements of heavy metal, punk rock and psychedelic rock.
Red Hot Chili Peppers (originally Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem) were formed by Fairfax High School alumni Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons, and Michael "Flea" Balzary in 1983.
In addition to Anthony Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Slovak, however, died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons resigning.[1] Irons was replaced briefly by former Dead Kennedys drummer D. H. Peligro before the band found a permanent replacement in Smith, while Slovak was replaced by up-and-coming guitarist Frusciante. This lineup recorded the band's fourth and fifth albums, Mother's Milk (1989) and Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991).
Anthony Kiedis told Rolling Stone in an interview published May 20, 2008 that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are "disbanded for the moment." Following the last leg of the tour promoting Stadium Arcadium, the band members have been on a break. Kiedis attributes this to the band being worn out from their years of nonstop work since Californication. Kiedis explained that he is currently preoccupied with taking care of his new son, while Flea is experimenting with new musical ideas, Frusciante is continuing his solo career, and Chad Smith is in Japan working with a jazz band. The band plans to remain on hiatus for "a minimum of one year." However, Kiedis has stated that he is eager to start thinking about new material.
