I think almost everyone out there remembers where they were when a specific event happened.  For example; many people remember what they were doing when they heard about the terrible events that happened during 9/11.  For me, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard about the massacre that we are going to speak about today.  I was driving to work when it came on the news…the city of Calgary in Alberta, Canada had just experienced its most deadly massacre, and five college students were dead.  

So buckle up my spooky friends.  You are about to hear terrifying tale of the Brentwood Five Massacre.  But before we start today; we want to warn you that we will be speaking about mental health issues, suicidal ideation, and murder.  Listener discretion is advised.

In New York State, there is a village that is world famous.  It is located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, and it is about twenty miles or thirty two kilometres north of New York City.  It was made famous by a short story written by Washington Irving in 1820.  His tale called “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” became one of the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity.  But that is not the only legend that still is told in the village of Sleepy Hollow.

So get comfortable my spooky friends.  You are about to hear the dark tales that still float around the village of Sleepy Hollow.

When I was a tween I loved reading books by Lois Duncan.  Summer of Fear was my favourite, and I still read my original dog eared copy every now and then.    This teen novel starts when the main characters aunt is killed, and soon she starts to suspect that her orphaned cousin is trying to take over her life using witchcraft.  

All of Lois’s books were filled with horror, thrills, and suspense, but it wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned that Lois’s life was also filled with horror.  When her teenaged daughter was murdered, Lois made the decision stop writing young adult novels and solve her child’s murder.

So settle in my spooky friends.  You are about to hear how a woman used to write about horror, and soon found herself in the middle of every mother’s nightmare.

Today’s episode is one I wanted to do for a long time.  It is one that many of you asked for, but it took me until now to do it.  The reason is that when I first heard about this case as a kid, it massively affected me.  I always thought of my homeland as a safe place, but this case showed me that no one is safe.

About two hundred years before the famous witch trials happened in Salem; men and women were being convicted of transforming into werewolves. It was said that they were mutilating and eating children, and the punishments were as horrifying as the alleged crimes.

These trials took place in parts of Europe between the 15th and 17th centuries, and they were driven by superstition, religious and political conflict, and the desire to find scapegoats during hard times. Many of the accused were homeless, recent immigrants, individuals of disability, or those who were loners. Many of these confessed to being werewolves after they endured severe torture.

Centuries later; it is still challenging to untangle the folklore from real evidence, or what people believed to be real evidence at the time. Most of those accused are today believed to be innocent victims, while others may have been serial killers before people even knew what a serial killer actually was.

So get comfortable my spooky friends. You are about to hear the dark tales of the European Werewolf Trials. But before we do…here is a little heads up: today we will be talking about graphic deaths of both adults and children. Listener discretion is advised
