Oy with the Terror Podcast

In this week's episode, Sandra talks about Leprechauns. Not only are Leprechauns connected to St. Patricks Day, but it turns out that they are actually related to fairies. Not only that but stories about Leprechauns can be traced back to the 8th century. And unlike the stereotype today where they are said to be wearing green, in the original folklore they wore red.

Later, Danielles covers the Keddie Cabin Murders. It took place on April 11, 1981, in Keddie, California. Four members of the Sharp family were killed in what was initially thought to be a random act of violence. 37 years later this case remains unsolved. The two main suspects have since died, but there are others who are considered to have taken part in this vicious crime who are still living. Because of the large amount of evidence found at the scene of the crime there is hope that the killers will be determined.

This week Danielle talks about the murder of Marise Ann Chiverella. With the help of recent advancements in DNA testing and a 20-year-old genealogical expert, the cold case was finally solved after 58 years. 

Later, Sandra talks about the legend of the Seven Sisters Road in Nebraska, USA. The legend comes from two different versions. In one version a father gets mad and hangs all seven of his daughters on seven different trees. In another version of the tale it is not the father, but a brother who hangs his seven sisters. Although today there are only four hills remaining, people still have weird experiences when they visit that particular road.

Take a step back in time to the roaring 1920s in Chicago. Gangsters ruled the city and there was a constant battle for power particularly with Al Capone and George "Bugs" Moran. The tension came to a boiling point on February 14, 1929. Seven members of Bugs' gang were killed in a garage on the North Side of Chicago. Capone was always thought to be the one responsible for the massacre, but this has recently been questioned.

Join us for another spooky episode! Coincidentally both of our stories involve Ireland. William Desmond Taylor was born William Cunningham Deane-Tanne in Carlow, Ireland. He ventured out to Hollywood in 1912 to become a silent film actor and director. His body was found on the living room floor of his bungalow on February 2, 1922. This murder is a regular whodunnit. Meet a list of suspects who all hold a motive for wanting to see William dead. This includes actresses with opium addictions, infatuated girlfriends, an overbearing momager, and a criminal property manager. Who would have been capable of committing a murder in cold blood? 

In this week's episode Sandra talks about the Ghost of Alice Riley from Savannah, Georgia. Alice Riley escaped the Irish Famine by coming over to Georgia as an indentured servant at the age of 15 in 1733. Supposedly her and her husband Richard White murdered their master William Wise after being tormented by him. Both Richard White and Alice Riley were found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Richard was hanged quickly after being caught, but Alice was pregnant and could not be killed until after the baby was born. Legend has it that today Alice Riley can be seen walking around Wright Square asking people if they have seen her baby.

In this week's episode, Sandra talks about scary Truck Driver and Road trip stories that can be found on the popular website, Reddit. These stories range from funny to weird to downright creepy.

Later, Danielle continues the European serial killer theme with Countess Elizabeth Báthory. It is thought that she inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. Local villagers spoke in hushed tones about the many servants who mysteriously disappeared after working at Elizabeth's castle. Stories later came out about the Countess bathing in the servants' blood. But, these accounts were later disputed when it came to light that Elizabeth's family waived King Matthias' hefty debt which he owed the Countess.

Happy New Year! We are back-ack-ack. In this episode, Danielle covers the story of the oldest serial killer in modern history, Baba Anujka. She used her knowledge of herbalism, medicine, and chemistry to create killer love potions. Literally. Her love potions contained mixtures of arsenic and mercury. Her widespread consumer base was made up of women who were unhappily married. Eventually, Anujka's reign of terror came to an end and she was incarcerated only to be released eight years later, due to old age. 

Later, Sandra talks about the Yowie. Located in Australia, the Yowie is similar to America's BigFoot. Supposedly located in the Outback, the Yowie legend has been around since 1795. The Yowie has been described as an ape-like creature that stands between six to twelve feet. Listen to our episode to find out more, and to learn if Danielle and I believe that the Yowie is real or a myth.
