Show notes

This spooky episode Laura covers the Museum de Gevangenpoort, a prison-turned-museum-of-torture in the Hague, and the gruesome murders that occurred on its land. It's mob mentality turned lethal with a pinch of baskets on fire. Maria covers the Hispanic folklore of La Llorona and reads first-hand accounts of terrifying paranormal experiences with the "Wailing Woman". We also delve into the lore's origins—it might go as far back as to the Aztecs!
