Episode #99
At a convent in France, during the middle ages, the nuns raised their voices in a beautiful chorus...of meowing? Holly will be sharing the strange tale of the meowing nuns this week, but we'll also be diving a little deeper. We'll chat about some other strange happenings at convents around Europe and learn a little bit about what could be the link between them: mass psychogenic illness.
Episode #98
We're back with another little guy! The Gumbaroo is out there, lurky in the forests of the Pacific Northwest and you can learn all about this strange creature this week. This guy is friends with the Squonk and Hugag which you can hear more about in past episodes too. Audio Warning: Toward the last half of the episode, there are a couple spots where we cut out for a second. Your audio isn't broken, it's us! Sorry about that, gang.
Episode #97
We're back for Part II of the whirlwind theft-streak of the Breitwieser and Kleinklaus. This episode delves deeper into the question of the Breitwieser's psyche and the dramatic and idiotic final capture. The cherry on top is the extraordinary way Breitwieser discovers his treasure-trove attic has been stripped bare. Listen in to find out what it takes to (poorly) dispose of 230+ works of art in less than a week!
Episode #96
We dive into a whirlwind tale about a couple in romance and in theft! Brooke divulges all the details about the infamous art thief Stephane Breitwieser and his girlfriend Anne Catherine Kleinklaus who hit museums all across Europe in the 1990s. Pull up a chair for a long episode of intrigue, theft, and confusion before we jump into part two next time.
Episode #95
Welcome back to Part II of the strange case of the Isdal Woman! We went over all the odd details of this case last episode, and we can't wait to jump into the many theories this week. Holly has more information for you all about eyewitness accounts, historic context, and whether the Isdal woman could have been a spy or maybe even part of a criminal ring.
