This week, it’s the mysterious murder of a school teacher + a history lesson on an infamous, iconic horror theater!

First up this week, Lauren covers Dead Woman's Crossing in Custer County, Oklahoma! This cursed location and urban legend gets its name from the unsolved murder of a woman way back in 1905, whose ghost supposedly haunts the bridge area. School teacher Katie DeWitt James did not deserve to die like she did, but she makes up for it by still spooking locals today. At first glance, it might seem to be just another spot for local legends and paranormal experiences…but there is definitely more to this story.

Next, and speaking of school teachers, Felicia puts on her teacher glasses to give us a history lesson on the Parisian Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, or The Grand Guignol Theatre. Open from 1897 to 1962, this theater in Paris specialized in graphic, intense horror shows (that even went on to inspire a genre of horror films). Listen to learn more about the history of the theater, as well as some of the specific gory plays that were performed. Try not to faint or vomit like audience members once did!
