If you ever wondered where I get my rather peculiar view of life, listen to this podcast. I talk quite a bit about my father's youth. It's pretty revealing about where my mindset comes from. No worries, my father wasn't a serial killer or anything like that. He was just an interesting man who came from an interesting family, and who had a rather unusual after school job beginning at age 12. I think you'll also be interested in the story of Washington Irving Bishop, and the unhappy outcome of his fight with catalepsy.
Ep. 45: If you visit Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY, you might happen upon a tall headstone for "The Martyr." It belongs to one Washington Irving Bishop, a mentalist with abilities so incredible (and some say supernatural) that doctors and scientists wanted to cut him open — and they did. This strange tale from the 19th Century is one of alleged murder and magic. Support this podcast at: Patreon.com/AaronSagers Have a creepy story to share?
