Join us this week for another round of honorable mentions. This week Cathryn details a youthful parricide and a teenage girl chained to her room. Elisabeth livens things up with the details of a nun's scandalous marriage and a strange 1800s beauty trend. Finally, we bring it home with a heart-warming story about a newsboy's generous bodily donation. 

This week Cathryn describes in grim detail the story of Belle Gunness. Known as one of the United State's most notorious female serial killers and one of Indiana's worst true crime stories in history. This one will keep you on the wedge of your seat and remind you why you should never respond to wanted ads!

This week the girls dig up stories about an unusual lighting strike, a freak accident involving dynamite in a Missouri school, some not so ghostly convicts, a horrific sewer drowning in 1904, and some siblings that were literally scared to death. 

Elisabeth goes rogue this episode and discusses the unusual history of cave-dwelling in Scotland. This lifestyle proved to have many hardships and surprisingly, came to an end in more recent times. Join us this week to learn more about this bizarre way of life and what eventually led to it's demise.

Our short stories worth mentioning this week include a gory childhood injury, a pearly surprise, an unfortunate parlor match explosion, and an apparent horse suicide. A bonus Grandma story is included at the end!

Elisabeth takes us back to Washington, D.C. at the turn of the century for the unfortunate tale of Ada Gilbert Dennis. Mrs. Dennis was a prominent dressmaker, with clients including future First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. Like most of our forgotten stories, this one includes a heinous crime with a tragic ending. 

This week Cathryn describes the horror that was the San Francisco Foundling Asylum. This asylum had it's fair share of secrets and death. Sit back and get prepared for a story that will make you grateful we made it out of the 1800s!

This week we discuss an odd superfluous tongue, a very large baby, and an treasure trove inside of a chicken. We then finish up with a very aquatic-like skin condition, a frozen Yukon corpse, and a woman so frightening she makes man's blood curdle.

This week Cathryn takes us out of the United States for the first time, to Canada! Join us as we seek the truth in the mysterious Redpath family murders. This story has elements of large creepy mansions and socially elite circles. At the end you'll have to decide for yourself who committed the heinous crime.

Elisabeth's honorable mentions follow a weird theme: animal and meat. She discusses a rare breed of cat-rabbits, a jealous poodle owner in Paris, a meat rain in Kentucky, and dog bacon. Cathryn tells the tales of strange deaths: a self-inflicted bladder rupture, a needle to the breast, and a shot off belly. Listen in for these strange and unusual stories.
