12 The Tucker Telephone
This week on Ghost Bites, Mike and J.T. delve into a truly horrifying piece of history: the Tucker Telephone. Not a phone at all, but a barbaric torture
device allegedly used at Arkansas's Tucker State Prison, this contraption
delivered electric shocks to... let's just say "sensitive areas."
Join us as we uncover the grim details of this inhumane device and the abuses within the prison system, reminding us that sometimes the most terrifying monsters aren't ghosts, but the ones behind bars, both literally and figuratively. Prepare yourselves, because this one isn't just spooky, it's
stomach-churning.
