"Sadistic and greedy quack" Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard starved people to death at her makeshift sanatorium, called "Starvation Heights" by the locals. Hazzard's nonsensical, dangerously misguided book Fasting for the Cure of Disease (1908) was a best seller. Among her victims was Daisey Maud Haglund, the mother of Seattle restaurateur and king of publicity stunts Ivar Haglund.

Linda Hazzard billed herself as a "fasting specialist" despite no formal medical degree and little training. She believed that all diseases came from food, and starving was the only cure. She opened her “sanitarium” in Olalla, Washington in the early 1900s, calling it Wilderness Heights. But residents of the small town called it "Starvation Heights" because of the countless patients who went to see Hazzard... and vanished. Both figuratively and literally.This is a story of murder.... but are y'all feeling some cultiness too?? "Paging Dr. Hazzard"! Did they only say that on Gray's Anatomy? Were they ever paging doctors? When did they stop?? That's not what this episode is about. AHDH!✨If you wanna get your TSFU episodes ad free and on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, check out our Patreon!

In this episode, Kat tells us all about Dr. Linda Hazzard - a "fasting doctor" without a medical degree who practiced what she believed was a cure-all treatment: fasting for weeks or months, giving enemas for hours every day, and massaging her patients like she was kneading dough for bread. Needless to say, she racked up a couple of dozen deaths in her care, had those patients sign over whatever fortunes they had left, and went on about her business. Did she really believe in this treatment, or did she find a grift that not only paid her well but also let her feed her murderous desires?

The sisters didn't seem very sick, but when they arrived, Dr. Hazzard told them they didn't have a moment to lose – they needed to begin her treatment right away.  A few months later, one of the sisters wrote a letter to her old governess. “I am wonderfully better in fact,” she said, “getting stronger by leaps.” But her handwriting was messier than usual, and her sentences ran together and overlapped.

We've reached the finale of the Linda Hazzard and Starvation Heights' story. It's only fitting that for this episode, Linda was dead to begin with - because this final installment isn't about Linda, but rather the poor ghosts left behind still processing their trauma. And to continue with the ghost trend, Sarah has one more haunted tale. The S.S. Kamloops sunk to the bottom of Lake Superior in 1927 and remains there, intact, to this day. The Kamloops also holds the remains of a rather friendly underwater ghost named "Grandpa". If you have the diving prerequisites (and the guts!) you too can go down and visit Grandpa. **CONTENT WARNING** - Our final story includes child death Stephanie wraps up the episode with a story that ties back to her Satanic Panic series. The West Memphis Three were three young men convicted of the murders of three young boys in 1994. But, just because they were convicted however, that doesn't mean they did it. Buckle up because it's quite a bumpy ride to the end of this story. And while you will get off the ride with all your limbs intact, you'll certainly have a knot in your stomach.

Linda Laura Hazzard, also known as the "Starvation Doctor" was an American swindler and convicted serial killer noted for her promotion of long term fasting and unethical practices. In 1911, Hazzard was found guilty of manslaughter in the state of Washington. She was sentenced to up to 20 years of hard labor for killing at least 15 people for financial gain. She was released on parole after serving only two years. Later, for unknown reasons, she received a full pardon from Governor Ernest Lister in 1916. Hazzard died at age 70 after subjecting herself to her own treatment methods. #crimehub #truecrime #truecrimestories #truecrimepodcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

She swindled people into trying her revolutionary fasting regiment which she claimed could cure any ailment, even cancer. Patients who were lucky enough to survive fasting for weeks or longer would leave her sanitarium singing Linda's praises. Linda made sure to only work with people who had a significant amount of money to their name. She would collect insurance claims from a majority of her victims. Later, Sandra talks about the legendary Candyman. Based on a character in the story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker and also based on the 1992 movie and the sequel that came out in 2021, the Candyman is an urban legend who draws his power from people who believe in him.

PLUS EPISODE 0019 THE PACIFIC NORTH WEIRD Richard speaks with the creator and host of a documentary-style podcast exploring the unexplained and paranormal.  The guest describes several stories and legends he's investigating in the Pacific North West, including the case of  cryptid sighting known as Shrimpy; a quack doctor of extraordinary evil who worked out of an area in Oregon known as Starvation Heights, and the legend of The Lady in the Lake, a murder victim whose body was dumped into the deep and frigid waters of Crescent Lake, Washington, only to resurface incorrupt several years later. GUEST: Jim Perry is a podcast host, creative producer, and entrepreneur based in the Pacific Northwest. His fascination for the anomalous events that happen in people's lives inspired the creation of Euphomet, the critically acclaimed audio documentary podcast about the strange and our relationship to it. Everyone has a weird story, and Jim is devoted to uncovering the intimate, human-centric version of these supernatural tales. His interest in the esoteric and paranormal was first inspired by staticky AM radio broadcasts of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell and reruns of In Search Of, the investigative TV series. When he isn't embedded in the paranormal, Jim's running DEFY Wrestling, and creating content as an experienced Creative Director and filmmaker for clients such as Lexus, Starz, and FX Networks.
