Museums are a magical place, they have the power to take you back in time. Each object on display, tells a story.

But what you may not be aware of, is that there are some objects that are not on display. Some that have a history so dark. That they must be locked way. One of these objects is a Chest of Drawers

Welcome to the Hidden Staircase podcast

Doppelgänger
‘däpəlˌɡaNGər/
noun

Is a look-alikeor double of a living person, sometimes portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal-phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck

The history of Doppelgängers was first discovered in German Mythology, they were usually described as evil in nature and would normally harm their look alike or cause them to harm themselves by putting malicious thoughts in their minds.
Doppelgängers can appear to us in many different ways, we can see them out of the corner of our eyes, noticing them in the distance, or standing behind us while we look at our reflection.

There are several documented stories about someone seeing their double, and sadly, it has ended in death.

Desperate times calls for desperate Measures” and in 1930 during the height of the great Depression, millions were desperate. With the crash of the stock market, millions our of works. Families took to the charity of others. There was even a special Column in the Chicago Tribune called “A Friend in Need” Where readers would write in hopes for even the smallest act of kindness. But when the Moroney family placed their ad in the paper, they didn’t expect what happened next.

Welcome to The Hidden Staircase podcast, where the stories of the past are brought into the present. Normally, I go right into the story I have chosen for you. But this episode will be different. I have three stories for you today. A man who seeks refuge in a police station, stalked by a man who he murdered years ago, an unknown woman who danced the night away, only to die in the arms of her last partner, and lastly, a man who was in jail for the murder of his wife, who died an excruciating death, but, by what, or should I ask, by Who?
