On this episode, we take a trip back to Wisconsin for a hellish good time. The years between 1890 and 1910 were marred by suicide, murder, arson, and insanity around the Black River Falls region of Wisconsin. We read excerpts from Wisconsin Death Trip by Michael Lesy, which catalogues all these horrific and sometimes comical incidents. Join us on this trip to hell on this episode of Under the Pendulum Podcast.
