Start spreading the news—we’re in New York this week! We begin with some of the city’s dark history, including the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and the infamous Typhoid Mary. Then, Kenzie dives into the eerie hauntings of the House of Death in Greenwich Village, where even known skeptic and former resident Mark Twain reportedly had unexplainable, possibly paranormal, encounters. Next, Lauren unpacks the chilling legend of “The Cropsey” and its disturbing ties to real-life predator Andre Rand, whose crimes earned him the nickname the “Pied Piper of Staten Island.” From tragic history to terrifying hauntings, New York has no shortage of nightmares—so buckle up for a spooky ride!
