Listen in to hear Shelby tell the story of the heinous murder of a 15 year old, Seath Jackson. No, that is not misspelled! Yes, it's pronounced "Seth"! Shelby takes us into a little background of the killers and how the plot thickened to lead to murder. Hear more of the story here than most shows tell you about "The Summerfield Six"! Maybe Seath wasn't as innocent as he's portrayed? Either way, murder is never the answer!!

Take an inside trip into the mental asylum with Nellie Bly! Shelby tells us about an incredible woman that's not talked about quite enough. Since we're talking about some stuff in mental hospitals, learn a little bit extra with Courtney popping in with a "short" version of Rosemary Kennedy's lobotomy! Nellie Bly did a lot of things in her life, especially as a woman. She went undercover to investigate and report on Blackwell's Mental Asylum and found out that it was torturous.

Just a little bonus for you guys! Shelby reads the poem "T'was the Night Before Christmas" with a little music in the background. This one is NOT vulgar! It's safe to listen to around whoever you may want to! Enjoy however you celebrate this time and be safe! 

While Courtney is recovering from surgery, to keep new things for you guys to listen to, Shelby reads the story of Bluebeard; a fairytale done by Charles Perrault. This isn't your normal fairytale though, it's quite dark, including murder. Fun fact: this fairytale may be based on a real guy named Gilles de Rais... There just may be more to come about him soon.
