Episode 275: The Devil’s Luck: The Bluebelle Massacre Survivor

In this month’s episodes I’ll tell you stories of people who were fortunate enough to survive horrifying experiences. In this episode, a family dream vacation turns into a nightmare on the sea. All seems lost when the ship sinks with all onboard. But by some miracle, a sole survivor is found. The story she tells about what happened onboard The Bluebelle will horrify all who hear it.
