Horrible History

69 - Paris, France & San Francisco, CA (Suspend Your Disbelief, Bitch!)


Listen Later

This week Emily and Rachel go "Horrible Lite" and tell two tragic stories. First, Emily heads to Paris to tell the story of Sophie Blanchard, the first female to fly a hot air balloon solo and the first to die in an aviation accident.

Then, Rachel tells us about murderess Emma LeDoux and the body in a trunk at a train station. Hopefully, you're horrified!
