Ghoul On Ghoul

Amanda and Sarah provide a pre-Halloween boost with a freaky finale and a story straight out of Pittsburgh. Amanda covers Martha Grinder, a murderer in 19th-century Pittsburgh who poisoned her unsuspecting neighbors. Sarah wraps up her two-parter on the Black Monk of Pontefract. Other subjects covered include dangerous luxury lube, leaf-eating dogs eating, and trick or treating teens.  Recommendations: Sarah recommends the horror films Session 9 and Lake Mungo. Amanda recommends the show Evil and the Indonesian horror films Satan's Slaves and Impetigore.  Sources: State Killings in the Steel City: The History of the Death Penalty in Pittsburgh- Martha Grinder Find a Grave - Martha Grinder Murderpedia - Martha Grinder “Poltergeist: A Classic Study in Evil”  by Colin Wilson “The Black Monk of Pontefract” by Richard Estep and Bill Bungay Rue Morgue (PARANORMAL PONTEFRACT: EXPLORING THE LEGACY OF THE MOST VIOLENT HAUNTING IN BRITAIN) 30 East Drive For updates on future episodes and other fun stuff, follow us
