Horrible History

72 - Denver, CO & Mattoon, Illinois (We're Not Mad, We're Just Disappointed)


Listen Later

This week, for Episode 72, Rachel stays close to home and visits Denver, CO to talk about the maybe haunted, definitely horrible Cheesman Park. This park used to be a cemetery and now is a park, but ... how many bodies were left unmoved?? Then, Emily heads to Mattoon, Illinois (near Springfield) and talks about the Mad Gasser of Mattoon! Was it mass malice or mass hysteria...? Hopefully, you're horrified!
