On Today’s’s episode, Genevieve will be discussing a young girl caught in a waterwheel, stonings, pickaxings, a harrowing coal oil disaster, a ludicrous fall in a church, a man’s head blown to atoms, men in drag wreaking havoc upon street harassers, a man who visit’s his wife’s grave and leaves with her - it’s not what you think, booby traps gone terribly wrong and so much more.
