Ep. 57 - The Spirit Board Sep 11, 2017

Show notes

Throughout history, many cultures around the world have claimed to have had people who could contact the spirits. In the late 19th century, during the height of Spiritualism, a Baltimore novelty and toy company began selling a device they claimed could allow the user to gain knowledge from spirits beyond the grave. The history of the Ouija board is nearly as mysterious as the way it's supposed to work. Some people have even been driven to commit murder by the board. #ouija #ouijaboard #horror #mystery #history #scary #historypodcast #murder #ghosts #ghoststory

Ep. 56 - The Blackout Ripper Aug 28, 2017

Show notes

During World War II, the German Luftwaffe began a massive bombing campaign over London and the surrounding British countryside known as The Blitz. By night, London would shut off all the city lights in order to make it more difficult for bombers to find targets. This also allowed for a brutal serial killer to begin stalking the city streets. #serialkiller #serialkillers #murder #world war II #podcast #history #historypodcast #horror
