    What's the weirdest way someone could be tested to see if god is on their side? Dipping your hands in hot oil? Surviving a cobra bite? Perhaps by eating several raisins worth of bread and cheese and not choking?  Casey covers all the variety of ways that people tried to test to see if god was on the side of those who were on trial for crimes. The outcomes were simple, if you died, or didn't heal in 3 days, you were guilty. If you survived or were miraculously healed, you were innocent. Is there one you think you could survive? Or one that you think was the most interesting? Let us know.

    It was the dancing plague, blood and priests, only 15(18).

    So, it was the runner up for the poll and Roya thought it would be fun to cover two episodes from the poll. In honor of Valentine's day, we're talking about Henri Landru, The Bluebeard of Gambais. He's a real piece of work that will make you maybe be a little relieved to not be in a relationship, or maybe give you pause when a proposal seems too good to be tru.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Twitter: @_strangeunusual Facebook: The Strange and Unusual Podcast 'Elevator' music: Darren Curtis Theme song: rap2h and Calamity Casey
