Haunted by the Ghost of Live Show's Passed- A Southern Oregon True Crime Summit Recap

Are we dealing with a modern day HH Holmes? In 1896, a man was hanged in a Philadelphia prison yard. His name was Herman Webster Mudgett, but the country knew him as H. H. Holmes, and the story that outlived him was about a building. A hotel in Chicago with sealed rooms and chemical vats and a body count that grew every time the story was retold. Most of that story was invented. The building was ordinary. The legend was not. I'm telling you that first, because right now, one hundred and thirty years later, there is a boarded-up rowhouse in North Philadelphia that the internet has already decided is the next murder castle. And the truth is stranger, and sadder, than that.

Our ancestors thought everyone was sinning. You've probably sinned at least 10 times before really starting your day, according to some ancient religious beliefs(and listening to this episode counts as one way to sin). Join Blaire and Halley for the last episode before taking a brief hiatus---not to worry we will be back for SPOOKY Season. We hope you enjoy this unhinged episode on the top 10 Funniest ways to SIN .

Long before Ouija boards and ghost-hunting shows, millions believed the dead could speak. Born in the wake of war, disease, and unimaginable loss, the Spiritualist movement promised grieving families something they desperately wanted, one more conversation with those they had lost. In this episode of MACABRE, we explore the rise of Spiritualism, the séance craze that swept Victorian society, the mediums who claimed to bridge the gap between life and death, and the extraordinary events that left believers convinced the veil between worlds had grown thin. Was it faith, fraud, or something far more unsettling? Join us as we uncover the history behind one of the most captivating supernatural movements of all time. Loving MACABRE?

The glow was beautiful. The truth was deadly. In this episode of MACABRE: Dark History, we're diving into one of history's most horrifying industrial disasters: the tragic story of the Radium Girls. During the early 1900s, hundreds of young women were hired to paint glowing watch dials with radioactive radium paint, unknowingly exposing themselves to lethal levels of radiation. Encouraged to "lip-point" their brushes for precision, they ingested radioactive material every single day while their employers insisted it was completely safe. As mysterious illnesses spread, jaws literally crumbled, bones fractured, and workers began dying from devastating radiation poisoning. Instead of accepting responsibility, the companies behind the radium industry fought to silence the victims, deny the science, and protect their profits. Discover how a handful of courageous women challenged powerful corporations in court, forever changing workplace safety laws, occupational health standards, and workers' rights in the United States. Join Halley and Blaire as they uncover the shocking history behind the Radium Girls, the corporate cover-up that cost countless lives, and the legacy that still protects workers today.
