Macabre : Dark History Podcast

On this episode, we unravel the horrifying reality of cholera, a disease that bears a chilling resemblance to a zombie outbreak. Join us as we delve into the heroics of John Snow...a man who does know something...He single handedly unraveled the connection between contaminated water and cholera, proving that a little fecal matter goes a long way.

BONUS EPISODE --- Dark History the Hidden Headlines of Wisconsin, Blaire's home state. The Ladies of Macabre get weird discussing some of the strange and unusual sh*t that went down in the good old state of Wisconsin.  

We hope you enjoy the ramblings of the Ladies of Macabre. 

Join the Ladies of Macabre as they get as giddy as school girls, talking about the phrases we commonly use today that are taken for granted and actually have very dark meanings. We thought we’d do something a little dark, but a little bit fun on this episode, considering we have covered a lot of very heavy topics lately. This episode won’t be all kittens and rainbows…but it will be slightly less disturbing…we hope.

Murder is the most macabre of MACABRE. And today the ladies of MACABRE are going to unpack the case of serial killer, Gary Ridgway...who was one of the worst of the worst.

It was a dark and stormy night, nah, more like a rainy afternoon when it happened. A challenge had commenced among some friends to pass the time. The challenge: who could create the scariest story? Turns out, Mary had a macabre side…and a very macabre life.
