BRANDED by the KKK!

David G. Hunter

0/5 ( ratings)

On the last day of June 1924, the Reverend Orrin Van Loon, pastor of a community church in the small village of Berkley, Michigan, vanished from the face of the earth. Eleven days later, he turned up, exhausted, frail and fearing for his life on a street corner in a city over 100 miles from his home. Legend has it that he was abducted, tortured and “branded” by the Ku Klux Klan, leaving him with a horrible and disfiguring scar, circumstances of which the pastor can recall nothing! But was this really that secret organization’s retribution for the reverend having spoken out against them from his pulpit, or was there something else behind the disappearance of Van Loon? Various versions of the story have been passed down through generations of the town’s residents, but now, through an exhaustive examination of the information involving the case, "BRANDED by the KKK"© finally uncovers the facts surrounding the strange disappearance of Reverend Van Loon, and its author, David G. Hunter, proposes various scenarios and reveals popular theories in an attempt to find out what really happened during those mysterious 11 days and beyond, and who the actual perpetrator may have been. Written from the unique perspective of a lifelong resident of the town in which the events occurred, this true story is filled with many amazing and unexpected twists and turns which are certain to keep the reader captivated right to the end!
