It is said that in 1776, at the Battle of the White Plains during the American Revolutionary War, a Hessian soldier on horseback, fighting for the British, had his head blown clear off by a cannonball. Imagine it, a bowling ball of iron crashing through your skull. You’ve seen watermelons get smashed with a sledge hammer, right? Same thing really.
And while on most days this wouldn’t really be polite conversation, this is The Lady Dicks, where we indulge our dark side a little bit and talk about a few gruesome and gory stories. And of those stories, few are as iconic as the story of the Headless Horseman from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow
The Lady Dicks dick-tect history, mystery and paranormal tales from around the world. Hailing from Canada, Andrea and Tae are a terribly cheesy comedic duo that covers some of life’s biggest mysteries and peskiest ghosts.
The Lady Dicks Podcast was created by Tae Haahr. The Lady Dicks are Andrea Campion and Tae Haahr. “What is Lurking in the Seattle Underground?” was researched, written and produced by Justin Kraus and edited by Rory Joy. The Lady Dicks theme music, A Pink Panther, is licenced through AudioJungle.
