Happy Halloween, witches!!!

Halloween always makes me think of witches, enjoying Samhain by streaking across the sky on their brooms, getting their LIFE. 

Today we are going to explore actual spells and curses of ye olden times, from around the globe.

Grab a glass of wine, your smudge stick, and the head of a corpse, because IT'S THE SEASON OF THE WITCH!!!

This is part 2 of the mass murder at the ‘love nest’ of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Today we are covering the brutal axe murders at Taliesin, the arson, and the aftermath of that bloody day. We are also wrapping up the fucking saga that is Frank’s life. Spoiler alert, his love life does not chill after Mamah’s death.

Did you know that a brutal and tragic mass murder occurred inside the home that renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed and lived in? The legacy of the Frank Lloyd Wright is long-lasting, but did you also know that he was a fucking twat? We are going to talk about all of it, here today. And as it seems to be for many, greatness and riches can also come with narcissism and tragedy.

The coroner said he couldn’t eat and cried for days, after recovering her body. This is the excruciating life and atrocious death of Lacey Fletcher. 

This case is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard, but Lacey’s story needs to be told. In telling it, we also have hope to avoid this ever happening to anyone else. EVER. AGAIN. 

This case is not as cut and dry as it seems on the surface. We are going to go over the facts of the case, as well as try to get some answers as to the WHY and HOW of it all. There is a lot of misinformation out there about this case as well, and a lot of it was used as clickbait. Trust me, the facts need not be embellished to make this case absolutely mind-blowing. 

Join me on a deep dive into this horrible case, and I promise to hold your hand the entire way.

In a small Michigan town, an online bully was terrorizing several middle school students for years, causing emotional and mental distress. The drama then started to ripple through the school, and outwards to the school staff and parents of the students. Soon the whole town seemed to know about this online campaign of terror. 

But who was the culprit? What did they want? And what was their motive?

Join me today as we spill ALL the tea on this bizarre case. 

I am excited to be back inside you. Your ears, I mean. Don’t make it weird.

We are back back back back back again, in the 1700’s, for another Olden-Timey murder pamphlet case!

Today’s case involves a mother and daughter, and one of their young apprentices. Get your dismemberment pants on, because it’s going to get gruesome.

Put on your fancy feathered triangle hat, because we are talking in Old English today about two different murder cases from the 1700’s!

Let us bid adieu to this century for a bit, and discuss a couple crimes of yesteryear. 

First we will discuss the case of Elizabeth Brownrigg, who tortured her apprentices with the help of her husband and son, leading to the death of a young girl. Then we will discuss the case of Johnathan Williamson, who held his wife captive and was convicted of murder.

Next week we will cover one other case from this pamphlet.

Go get a horn of ale, or a goblet of wine, and some bread with butter,  and settle in for these terrible tales.
