Henry VIII had St. John Fisher beheaded. Anne Boleyn asked for the head and she slapped it rudely. One of the teeth pierced her hand and the wound never healed. Later, she too was beheaded. Believe It or Not! In 1692, the Reverend George Burroughs of Wells, Maine, was placed on trial in Salem Village, Massachusetts, charged with witchcraft. The only evidence was the testimony of witnesses who saw the defendant insert a finger in the muzzle of a heavy musket and hold it at arm's length, a feat the court thought was impossible without the aid of sorcery. The defendant pleaded in vain that he'd seen an Indian perform the same feat of strength. He was convicted and hanged.
