Sawney Bean
***WARNING****
GORE
The Tale of Sawney Bean is a gory one, and definitely one you don't want to listen to with the kiddos around.

The Murder of Clothilde Marchand
Thank you to Joel at BuffaloDoubleDeckerBusTours.com for the original telling of the story!
Clothilde Marchand had a loving family, and her husband's career was on the rise. Why was she the victim of a murder?
The reason is far more complex than it seems. -
Winnie Ruth Judd: The Blonde Butcher
Winnie Ruth Judd was a complicated individual. On one hand she was the depressed wife of a doctor who had become addicted to morphine, and on the other she was having an affair with a successful man who asked her to introduce friends and acquaintances to him so he could in turn sleep with them too.
It was never going to end well.

The Mystery of the Ourang Medan
Ghost ships have long interested me, mostly because the ocean and all of its depths have interested me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not remotely interested in plunging miles below it's surface to see a shipwreck-but it's still a mystery. The Ourang Medan is no different, except that for many years people have speculated that something paranormal may have been involved in the deaths of the Ourang Medan crew; especially when their bodies were found with eyes open and mouths frozen in screaming terror.

Vampires! Part 1: Ancient Vampires
Bloodthirsty Fiends have existed long before Bram Stoker made them a household name, so in this episode I look at ancient vampire lore from around the world, and delve into cultures that aren't necessarily part of the main vampire myths. The question is...are the real or not?
They aren't, but isn't it fun to think so?
