Hey WOW, welcome to EPISODE 50, Sleepyheads! Grab your notebooks, your favorite Chicago roomies have some more educational stories for you.

 

First, Margot tells us about the New England Vampire Panic. The Salem Witch Trials is a period that gets all the attention, but did you know in the 19th-century townsfolk believed Vampires were to blame for tuberculosis? We learn about George Brown who looked for ways to save his surviving family member, Edwin, after his daughter Mercy succumbs to the illness. 

 

Next, Elizabeth tells us about the cow heard around the world. You've heard of cow-tipping, but this cow went lantern-tipping causing the city of Chicago to go up in Flames in 1871. In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, learn about how the events unfolded and what that meant for the city following the aftermath.

 

Stay safe, sleepy, and spooky. See you next time and as always, thanks for joining us!
