IN THIS EPISODE: (NEW EPISODE!) Mrs. Elizabeth G.
Wharton was a pillar of society in Baltimore, Maryland in the late 1800s.
That is, until she was accused of murdering General William Scott Ketchum.
(The Baltimore Borgia) *** For every legitimate and fascinating find by geologists, there seems to be a fraudulent find somewhere else trying to fool the masses.
This has been a problem since geology became a thing – and one of the most fascinating of these true tales is the one about Baringer’s Lying Stones.
(The Lying Stones) *** A strange, ape-like creature with glowing eyes in England might really be, as some believe, a specter of the night.
(Man-Monkey of the Night) *** It’s hard to understand how human sacrifice has ever been a reality in any point in history – but what if you were to learn that evidence of it showed up in London, England… in 2001?
(Torso In The River) *** A would-be geisha murders her lover… but the events leading up to and during the death make for a fascinatingly dark story.
(The Murderess Geisha) *** Most people, when they think of the end of their lives, want to feel that they have accomplished something of significance.
To leave a lasting legacy.
But it is much more rare for someone to accomplish something significant – after they are dead!
(Done By The Dead) *** When it comes to spectral animals, we’re more than familiar with black dogs or hell hounds, ghostly cats, horses carrying a headed or headless phantom, even a ghost bear rumored to haunt the Tower of London… but have you ever heard of the American Southwest’s ghost camels?
