So much so that even her slave owning peers sought and demanded justice for the slaves working in her home in the French Quarter. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I honestly don't even know where to start with this guy. His story reads like the plot of some crazy horror movie with details so intense, you just don't think there is any way they are actually real. He terrorized the northeast coast of the US in the late 1800s/early 1900s, and while it did appear he had a preference in his victim type, he certainly didn't discriminate and his range of victims and crimes during his life was all over the map.

It wasn't something we talked about a lot growing up, but I knew that Kristen and I had seen and/or heard things in parts of the house we moved into at a young age (years before Gillian was around). I know paranormal and supernatural stuff scares me, so I didn't like to talk about it. As an adult, and someone no longer living in the house, I talk about it more. And we have since learned more crazy stories that others have experienced in the house as well. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
