Show Notes

Today's True Weird Stuff - The Angel Makers

In a quiet Hungarian village with no doctor and no escape from abusive marriages, the women found salvation in a midwife called Auntie Suzy. She delivered babies by day and, by night, brewed arsenic from flypaper. Husbands, lovers, parents, even children began to die. For nearly twenty years, no one asked questions. Mysterious deaths in the community became the status quo, creating the murderous legacy of the Angel Makers.
