Episode 176: "They had a ball-room"

Left of Skeptic

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! We've got a classic haunting and a major coincidence on the docket this week. I know what you're thinking? A major coincidence? How is that Spooky-Wednesday-worthy? Trust us... you'll want to hear this. But first, Kala talks about the George Stickney House in Woodstock, Illinois. This building is now a police headquarters, but it was once the home of devout spiritualists who commissioned the building to be built with zero sharp corners to better communicate with the dead. After decades of seances, it seems some of those spirits may have stuck around, and are now spending their time pestering police officers. Now, about that coincidence... What if we told you that there were two murders so similar you might think there was a copy cat killer? Now what if we told you they were over 100 years apart? And what if we told you the details were so similar not even a copy cat could pull it off? This is a wild ride, folks. You don’t want to miss it.
