Welcome to the 20th episode of Wild Society!

At the beginning of the 20th century, children began to go missing in Barcelona’s red light district known as El Raval. During this time, a woman named Enriqueta Marti began running a business selling lotions and ointments to the city’s wealthy residents. A sociopath with a business plan, find out why she became known as the “Vampire of Barcelona”

A supernatural creature has been haunting people in cities all over the world for years. Was its motive to scare or to warn of bad things to come? Were people witnessing the Mothman or just a Sandhill Crane? Is there some sort of connection between the Mothman, the Freiberg Shrieker, and The Black Bird of Chernobyl? We discuss the crazy encounters with these creatures in this week’s wild story.
