Horrible History

This week, Rachel heads to the no-longer-in-existence town of Aycock and the horrible unsolved crimes that happened there (and the ghosts that followed). Then Emily heads to Boston (AGAIN, we know) to talk about Jolly Jane Toppan, an angel of death that killed somewhere between 31 and 100 people. Hopefully, you're horrified.
