On today’s episode, Genevieve will be discussing The Bloody Benders, a Victorian era family of serial killers who were confirmed to have murdered at least 11 people in their Kansas home, but it’s estimated that that number was more likely closer to 20. She will also discuss a police officer’s deadly encounter with a ghost, as well as exactly how to perform a seance without a trained medium, according to a Spiritualist newspaper from the 1800s.
