When I was a young girl, I read all of the Laura Ingalls Wilder “Little House” books. I was enchanted by the tales of young Laura who’s family had great adventures, while protecting and supporting each other. I felt a kinship with this girl, since I grew up on a farm in the Canadian prairies. I knew from personal experience how physically hard farming could be, and I could only imagine how difficult it would be to grow up during those times.
I also saw my own father in the character of Charles Ingalls. He was a strong man, who loved his family. He would do anything to help protect those he loved. So imagine my surprise when I recently discovered that Pa Ingalls may have killed some people.
Just a heads up here, today we will be talking about murder…a lot of murder. Lister discretion is advised.

If you guys haven’t figured it out by now, I love history. I love history that is not the norm, and things that people likely never heard about. And that is why I love hearing a person’s family history. It isn’t necessarily the type of history that makes the news, or that lore develops from, but it tells the tale of how we as individuals got to where we are today. But that isn’t the tale we are telling today.
One of our listeners reached out to us here at Horrifying History to tell us the tale of his family history, and when I read his email my response was “Wow, that’s crazy!” I knew I needed to dig into this a bit more. Why? This listeners family history is full of romance, violence, and spirits that are unable to rest.

Whenever a bad storm is on its way, I feel it. It has always been that way…I start getting pain behind my eyes, and if I don’t take medication I end up with a bad migraine. My doctor told me that there are many people who are just like me, and we are considered to be human barometers. Many times all I need to do is take a single Tylenol or Advil, and the problem is solved.
But what if I took that pill, and it was tampered with. This is what happened in 1982 when several people took Tylenol without knowing that someone tampered with them. They were laced with potassium cyanide.
