We may think this trend is weird, but we suppose its no different than those people who collect famous peoples toe nail clippings? Gladiators were like famous athletes of their time and boy did they sweat! People would pay big money for that viral man musk, some even thought it was an aphrodisiac!

This hair style started on accident, and just like most trends it started fairly simple then it got bigger abd bigger until you needed a wire cage to keep it up and you couldn't lay down to sleep! It reached such heights that woman's hair was being set ablaze from candle lit chandeliers!

We had the opportunity to interview Suzie Renzie-Falge the executive director of the Flower Memorial Library in Watertown, NY. Suzie shared with us the history and the paranormal experiences that staff and patrons have witnessed! The library’s doors opened in 1905. It was paid for and designed by Emma Flower Taylor the daughter of Govenor Roswell Flower. Paranormal investigators have made contact with spirits during investigations held at the library.They were hosting a 3rd investigation the night of our interview. They are hoping to find out who the ghosts are who haunt the library! During the recording there were several electronic interferences, and our batteries to our microphones drained completely, which is very unusual. Also the last part of the interview just cut off for no reason and didnt save. Were the ghost of the library trying to communicate with us during our podcast recording?


A Huge thank you to Suzie Renzie-Falge the executive director of the Flower Memorial Library for sharing her knowledge with us!
