The spooky season is upon us. Halloween, the time when the veil between the living world and what comes next is at its thinnest. According to legend a time when ghosts, ghouls, spirits, and otherworldly creatures are able to materialize and interact with us.
However every human being has it within themselves to give into our darkest instincts and thoughts and act upon them. Forsaking their humanity and indeed becoming demonic.
Today I bring you the true story of two women whose circumstances in life led them to embrace the evil within and unleash it upon Ancient Rome.
Come dream with me as go Deep into 1st century of the Roman Empire and witness the rise & fall of an Empress & History's first well documented serial killer, Locusta of Gaul.
