TRIGGER WARNING: This episode mentions suicides, death, and a mass shooting.
Tori leads off with some fun with Horror in the Heartland’s odd old newspaper blurbs. Kevin McQueen gives us an interesting obituaries to have fun with, people are weird and do stupid shit. Krysti takes us to Tasmania and Port Arthur. Used as a penal colony, since the US was out of reach for the Brits, this was the scene of harsh punishments for the prisoners. This was also the site of a horrible mass shooting. This was one of the reasons that Australia no longer has issues with guns, wonder why? This location also seems to host a plethora of ghosts that stuck around and remind the folks of the first use of the land.
