November 17, 2022 Ep. 128 The Hammersmith Ghost
Hammersmith, England thought they had a ghost problem in 1803. Then they ACTUALLY had a murder problem. When in reality... it was a man in a sheet problem.

This whole situation set off an argument in the court system that lasted 180 years! The question... could one get away with murder if they thought they were shooting a ghost?

October 12, 2022 Ep. 126 The High Priestess of Blood
We have decided to form a cult! Magdalena Solis was suggested to us when we were wondering where to begin. She was known as The High Priestess of Blood, and while we find her knack for nicknames pretty cool... we don't really agree with the whole human sacrifice thing she had going on.
