Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol is dead

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Rohingya refugee from Burma, was nearly blind and spoke no English. He was dropped off by agents in Buffalo on the other side of town from his home. His family was not notified of his release. Police are investigating.

"...After taking custody of Shah Alam, Border Patrol agents dropped him off at a Tim Hortons on Niagara Street in the Black Rock neighborhood, Macaluso said, shortly after 8 p.m. Shah Alam and his family live in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood on the East Side, according to Fazal.... Instead, Macaluso and Shah Alam’s family spent Friday through Sunday searching for him. Macaluso opened a missing persons case with Buffalo police on Sunday, he said.

As Investigative Post reported Tuesday, Special Victims Unit detective Richard Hy closed the case for several hours Monday in the mistaken belief Shah Alam was in custody at ICE’s detention facility in Batavia. The case was subsequently reopened."

Some of the most curious English ghost stories relate to 'screaming skulls'. A famous one is housed at Burton Agnes Hall, Yorkshire. It is said to have belonged to Anne Griffith, whose father built the Hall. Anne had watched in amazement as the Hall was constructed, declaring it would be the most wonderful home ever built. Shortly after it was finished, however, she was fatally wounded by robbers. As she lay dying, she made her sisters promise they would sever her corpse's head and keep it in the Hall, but Anne was buried conventionally in the local churchyard. The Hall was, thereafter, tormented with groans and poltergeist activity until the family had Anne exhumed and decapitated. As long as the skull stayed in the Hall, everything was fine, but - over the years - several attempts to remove it led to supernatural disturbances. The skull remains in the Hall today. Nobody is sure of the exact location, but it's said to be bricked up in a wall. #gothic #folklore #history #paranormal #ghosts #skull #skulls #death #mythologymonday #graveyard
