Queen Elizabeth II has died, so this seems a great time to talk about incest in royal bloodlines. Focus is mainly on the Habsburg Dynasty of the 1600s, a family whose interbreeding was so severe, the most powerful monarchy since Charlemagne eventually extinguished itself. We're gonna talk a little about that infamous jaw too. Also... was the incestuous bloodline of Queen Victoria ultimately responsible for the fall of the Romanov family in Russia? Give a listen and let me know what you think.Finally, I wrap up with some American takes on the whole inbreeding thing, and the cultural differences between that and royalty. This all but guarantees I have to talk about the blue people of Kentucky.So come on in and take a short ride on a few twisted bloodlines.

We've all heard of the Blue Moon of Kentucky thanks to Elvis Presley, Kentucky Blue Grass, and Kentucky Blue is even a color of paint... But this is an entirely different type of blue; The Blue Fugates. They are a family with a rare blood disorder called methemoglobinemia. It can cause blue skin, and boy did it. Four of their seven children exhibited blue skin so the family retreated from society... and inbred over and over until they became world renowned for this hue. What happened to them? Can it be treated?  And how can you turn yourself blue from the comfort of your own home? We answer those questions and many even crazier this from the preverbal cornucopia of weird, Kentucky. Special thanks to this week's sources:Cover Art By;Joshua LernerBooks and ArticlesHereditary Diaphorase Deficiency and Methemoglobinemia - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/570011The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek | Kim Michele RichardsonBlue-Skinned Gods | S.

With themes such as original sin, isolation, and infant sacrifice, how could we say no to our guest artist Margaux Crump with the psychological horror movie The Witch, directed by Robert Eggers in 2015. Both Heyd and Erin watched as the Puritan family battle the forces of evil that manifested into the iconic goat named Black Philip as well as mysterious witches in the woods. Even though this isn't considered a feminist text, Margaux discusses her connection to the titular character who occupies a liminal space that allows for kindred connections between us and the worlds that we haven't quite yet figured out.

Genetics can be a funny thing sometimes.  In my case for example, I look like my mom but when I had my DNA tested I was genetically more my dad.  In the case of my niece and nephew, they both have the most beautiful shade of red hair.  Apparently, my sister-in-laws grandfather had a red beard…but no one is positive why these two won the genetic lottery with their hair colour.     Sometimes genetics can lead to some strange things though, and in the case of a family from Kentucky in the United States - they are now famous because of it.   Welcome to Episode 54…The True Story of the Blue Fugates - A Story of Inbreeding.   We got merch!

Haddix, Kentucky.. is an unincorporated community and coal town in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Named after an early settler. Samuel Haddix, a native of Virginia. Haddix is located near the confluence of Troublesome Creek. A small settlement with no roads or railways to connect it to the nearby towns until 1910... and this creek is located in Breathitt, Perry, and Knott counties in Kentucky. With the surrounding watershed named after it but why all this talk about troublesome creek?... its because a strange medical condition was discovered in troublesome creek. And this condition was so peculiar that some didn't really believe the story. And for over one hundred and fifty years, locals in the area of Hazard Kentucky were stumped by this group of people...whose skin was the color blue. The descendants of the Fugate family of Troublesome Creek, and a related family in nearby Ball Creek...The Blue Fugates, sometimes known as the Huntsville subgroup, were well known in the area, and their genetic disorder went unidentified until the mid twentieth century, when the amount of affected people...from this extremely rare genetic trait.. had greatly decreased...ultimately finding a cure for this indigo trait.[FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE]TWITTER: www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPodINSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPodJARED'S TWITTER: www.twitter.com/jared_ordisJARED'S INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/jared.ordisORDIS SURDIOS NETWORK & WEBSITE: www.ordisstudios.com[ADDITONAL INFORMATION]Questions or Business Inquiry, Email Us @ ordisstudios@gmail.comResearched was used for this episode of Southern Oddities, and we couldn't have made it possible without the journalism and dedication from these awesome sources of information: All That Interesting "Fugate Family Blue People of Kentucky" Medium "The Blue People of Kentucky" Prep Scholar "Blue People of Kentucky" ifl Science "The Science Behind the Mysterious Blue People of Kentucky" DNA Science "Finding the Famous Painting of the Blue People of Kentucky" Wikipedia "Blue Fugates" Only in Your State "Legend of Kentucky Blue People" Atlas Obscura "Troublesome Creek" N Clar "Blue People of Troublesome Creek" Wikipedia "Troublesome Creek" Wikipedia "Haddix, Kentucky""Southern Oddities" is created & produced by Jared Ordis, an Ordis Studios production.
