A complaint about skinny-dipping, a call for public whippings, and a mysterious signature… Victorian Newfoundland gets weird.

Not every mummer story has a happy ending. In 1860 a group of mummers killed a man in Bay Roberts , NL — that was only one incident in a string of violent behaviour.

Murder, macabre justice and mayhem! In 18th century Newfoundland there was a punishment worse than death — the gibbet.
