HANDS OFF! Haunted by the ghost of George 'Bloody' Mackenzie, plus the haunting of Eleanore Zugan

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle delve into the supernatural with two stories of hauntings!

In the mid 1600s, there was a tyrannical Scottish lawyer called Sir George ‘Bloody’ Mackenzie who had the charming nickname of The Edinburgh Executioner. After his death in 1691, his remains were buried in a mausoleum in Greyfriars kirkyard in Edinburgh, where they remained undisturbed until 1998… When a homeless man broke into George's tomb, he discovered the gruesome decomposing remains of plague victims that had been somehow vac-packed by the tomb. Freaked out, the homeless man fled - but he’d disturbed George’s resting place and a series of terrifying events in the graveyard followed. Listen now to hear Geordie dive into the case!   

Michelle follows with the story of Eleanore Zugan, who presents as one of the most authentic poltergeist cases of the last century. In 1925 in rural Romania, 11 year old Eleanore found a coin on the ground, picked it up, against her friend’s wishes, and spent the money on sweets, which she ate herself without sharing. Her grandmother told her she was a wicked child and that she’d swallowed the devil. But did she? Because after this incident, strange things began happening to Eleanore – like, poltergeist strange things. Objects would appear out of thin air. Items would mysteriously fly around the room. Scratches and bite marks would appear on Eleanore’s body and strange things would happen whenever she was around. Was she haunted? Or was it something else? Listen now and decide for yourself!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about Pinball Geoff, fake documentaries, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!
