6: The Many Faces of Charlie Chaplin Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

The Japanese have a saying “You have three faces, The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends and your family. The third face, however, you never show anyone. It is the truest reflection of who you are.” Most of the world only saw the one face of Charles Chaplin, a comedy-driven vagabond who only wanted to make people laugh, but those closest to him were exposed to the faces that he never wanted to show the rest of the world.

Show notes

To the Earl of Lucan, Irish potato famine horrors where so convincing of the urgent necessity of clearing the land. The land could not support the people, could never help the people; so, the people must go and he didn't care where or who survived the trip.

4: Kenneth Parnell Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

We all grew up being told by our loved ones to not talk to strangers, and to never go with them if they try to get you into their car. Some of us may have had a few close calls, but for some unlucky few they did fall prey to the corrupt actions of another. The childlike naivete that nothing bad could actually happen to them, is quickly replaced by the realization that they are in dire trouble. My heart goes out to those poor innocent souls that had to experience that fear at any age, as they come to the realization that their parents won’t be coming to rescue them. For seven-year-old Steven Stayner that was just the case.

2: Jane Toppan Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

“Poisoning her Passion! Jane Toppan confesses to killing thirty-one persons” read the headline on July 22, 1902, from the Clinton Morning Age newspaper.
It would go on to describe how a seemingly caring nurse had purposely poisoned her patients and became one of the United States’ first serial killers. Investigators even spoke of her confession to her crimes, stating that “she has told of the death of her victims as if she were talking about a summer picnic where she enjoyed herself, of the fiendish subtlety she employed in ending human lives. The patience she maintained during the paroxysm’s proceeding dissolution.
The exuberance and joy that came to her as she watched their eyelids press down. No ghost has come to her in the midnight hours to disturb her dreams; no smarting of conscious visited her unnatural brain that excited either tears or sorrow”.
