More Than Murder

Now, we all know about side-shows and freak shows, P.T Barnum and the circus, but what we’re talking about today is different. These were considered ethnological expositions, and they happened in predominantly white societies and countries. The humans in the zoos were always non-white, and many times had some way of living or some quality that was turned into a money-making spectacle and put on display.

Jenna (Zak's biggest fan) tells us all about his Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, which is filled with oddities, haunted objects & toys, as well as items and remains that once belonged to serial killers. Some of the things in Zak's museum are objects we've covered on the podcast, and some of the items and remains even belonged to some of the killers we've spoken about on the show as well.

In this week's very uninspired episode, we chat briefly about the novel The Haunting of Hill House and what it was based on. We then dive into the movies, and tv series that were based on the novel; and it may or may not turn into somewhat of a mini, movie review sesh. This week's episode is light, and just a little all over the place. Enjoy, and relax with us!

Episode Brief:

In this week's episode, we dive back into true crime with a doozy. The Toy Box Killer was a sadomasochist,but took his fantasies much too far. Hidden away in a trailer he dubbed his "Toy Box," David Parker Ray would torture and sexually assault women whom he thought no one would miss, let alone believe if they ever escaped his grasp. But, oh, how wrong he would be...Kinda. This episode contains graphic content that many may find disturbing, listener discretion is always advised.

In the United States, it used to be illegal to donate your body to science; The only the human body and organs that could be studied were those of executed prisoners, and the supply of those didn't meet the demand. In came, the body snatchers. The stealing of bodies from their graves began as a means to conduct scientific study and research, and it was. Once body snatching was no longer needed, that didn't mean that it didn't continue. Even in modern day, body snatching still occurs, and some people take it farther than fathomable.

If you are a fan of the paranormal or have watched any ghost hunting show (there are many), you may be familiar with today’s haunted destination. One family who seemed to be plagued with misfortune (and death), resided in this home and some believe they are still lurking the shadows to this day. It's another one branded “The Most Haunted home in America,” and has piqued the interest of many since it was built in 1856.

If you tuned into last week’s episode, we figured out together, that this week’s episode was going to be on a cult. This cult has really horrible aspects to it, but it’s not the Jim Jones kind of cult either, where it all ended super tragically. The cult on this week's episode is crazy in the way the folks who’d joined were brainwashed, and what they were brainwashed into thinking was normal and okay. This episode contains graphic content that could be triggering, listener discretion is always advised.
