Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

You know what I love more than anything? A good prank. A perfectly timed jumpscare that makes someone pee their pants a little bit? I live for it. 

But I went back and I was looking at some famous pranks throughout history… And I realized, a lot of pranks go *too* far. 

Either because the pranker gets carried away, or because there’s a completely unexpected reaction from the prankee. And sometimes the pranks go so sideways, they cause freak accidents that no one sees coming. 

So join me for the strange, the sad, and the dark history of pranks gone wrong.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out. IDK. lol: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/139701263-bailey
