In this chilling St. Patrick’s Day episode, we’re diving into two hauntingly unforgettable stories. First, we take you inside the infamous Tower of London, where centuries of executions, betrayals, and ghostly apparitions have left an eerie mark on history. From the tragic fate of Anne Boleyn to the restless spirits said to roam its ancient halls, we uncover the dark past and paranormal legends of one of the world’s most haunted landmarks.
Then, we shift to a modern tragedy that changed a nation—the murder of Matthew Shepard. We explore the heartbreaking story of a young man whose brutal death in 1998 became a catalyst for change, sparking a movement against hate crimes. Through the details of the case, the trial, and the powerful legacy left behind, we reflect on how Matthew’s story continues to resonate today.
Get ready for a mix of eerie history and true crime that will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.
