On this week’s episode, Genevieve will discuss onion syrup poisonings, vigilante justice, razor suicides, jealous quarrels, horrible… truly horrible murders, Russian piggy-back rides and a narrow escape from death that ends in quite a significant amount of blushing. She will also discuss why executions are usually done at the crack of dawn, a little about spirit photography and why some ghosts maintain their deathly visages while others do not.
