Week two Valerie shares her story (same year) and Amy Jo will deliver her Zodiac Back, reflecting on significant astrological transits at the time. So grab a beverage, relax, and hang with us as we reunite to have a laugh and tell some tales!

On today’s episode, Valerie tells the quintessential 1800s story of seven bandits who attempted the first train robbery in the West. The heist went like clockwork aboard the Central Pacific Overland Express Train, Engine No. 1, but things fell apart quickly afterward thanks to a lone crack investigator and the less than stellar fortitude of a few of the would-be criminals. Next, in the Zodiac Back, Amy Jo covers the present day ast...

On today’s episode, Valerie presents a bit of history, including some firsts for African Americans in the USA, balloon mail, “Bourbon’s First Bottler”, an early solution to tinned food, the “Early Bustle Era” (can you say TRIM?), and a massive beer and BBQ party in Syracuse, NY, in the 1870 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo covers the excessively familiar story of a jilted lover turned murderess, but with a dash of extra-dramatic flair....

On today’s episode, Valerie shares the sorrowful tale of Mary Ashford, who met a mysterious fate in the early morning hours after a local community dance. Her case led to the repeal of a long forgotten medieval law after the accused threw down the gauntlet (literally). As if that weren’t enough, Mary’s death is tied to an unsolved case 157 years later, with many eerie similarities (Time=Flat Circle). Next, in the Zodiac Back we loo...

On today’s episode, Valerie shares an amusing story from the summer of 1907, when the small town of Clinton, Massachusetts was visited by not one, but two circuses. We discuss the almost back-to-back incidents including ladies jumping herds of elephants, gambling and sharp practices, a near riot, and a violent thunderstorm - all of which caused an evening of panic and confusion, and more than a little trouble for Clintonians. Next,...

On the Season 2 finale episode, Valerie tells the woeful tale of the murder of the beautiful Tobacco Emporium clerk, Mary Rogers. After her second disappearance her body was found near Hoboken, and with so many admirers, who could say who was the culprit? Her story became one of the first works of fiction based on a real crime. Despite the popularity of Edgar Allen Poe’s, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, the crime remains unsolved. Next...
