On a dull morning in 1986, some workers in Stockholm, Sweden, were getting ready for a normal day inside the nuclear power plant they worked in but that would soon change. Not long after the start of the day, one worker found that the geiger counters they had to pass before entering the unit went off, suggesting that they were radioactive.
After testing and retesting the machine for faults, the workers realised they were telling the truth, one of the workers had high levels of radiation upon them.
After a scramble in the power plant to find if there was a leak, they realised all was well...but if the radiation wasn't coming from their power plant, where was it coming from? It seemed the radiation was drifting over from a little town called Pripyat in Ukraine and yet no one had told the world that this disaster was going to have long lasting effects and even death...Welcome to Killers, Cults & Queens
Today, Cheryl & Nikki are exploring the case of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster

Well guess what, it's a sweet reunion - but instead of Jamaica and Spain - we're headed back to Brooklyn to meet the person who first inrotuduced the Linda Napolitano story to Nikki when she was on honeymoon in New York - it's Tyler the tour guide from Madame Morbids Trolley tours, the numer one rated ghost tour in the whole of NYC and if that ain't saying something then you obviously don't know your cannolis!
Join us for a deep dive into Linda's story from someone who knows it back to front and has often floated past the Brooklyn Bridge ( well, with slightly more bumps on those cobble stones) inside a victorian style trolley ( a mini bus to us Brits but far more vintage and cool).
Settle down and strap in because Tyler is taking us on a trip around Brooklyn sharing his favourite stories and some of his own personal spooky tales.
You can check out Tyler on Youtube @TylerTheVampireslayer
