Episode 64: Ingeborg Skeel and Olive Thomas

Inspired by the Women’s March, Noelle walks us through two strong women of different eras: Ingeborg Skeel of Denmark and the world’s first flapper, Olive Thomas.

This story contains:

1. STORY ONE: 1500’s Lady Ingeborg Skeel from Voergaard, Denmark. (Bad ass business woman and philanthropist!)

2. Ingeborg was super successful and had sweet house. (So people thought she was a witch!)

3. A wandering lady in white, Wild Boar Skin, and a patch of blood that can’t be removed. (Ghosts!)

4. STORY TWO: Olive Thomas - the original flapper. (Married to Jack Pickford, brother of the movie star Mary Pickford.)

5. At age 25, Thomas drank down the mercury bichloride that was intended to treat her husband's syphilis topically! (She’s a ghost now. Hi, Olive!)
