IN THIS EPISODE: Mother Shipton was known for her prognostication skills – but she was even more well known for her grotesque appearance. So much so that she was nicknamed The York Witch, and the Devil’s Daughter. But others have another name for her… hoax. (The Devil’s Daughter) *** A family heirloom begins acting strange when a woman moves into her deceased grandmother’s home. (I Moved Into My Dead Grandmother’s House) *** Is it possible that ghosts, visions, and other paranormal experiences are not only real – but also good for your mental health? (Therapeutic Ghosts) *** After it closed, the old hospital site became a popular destination for thrill-seeking kids looking for the scare of a lifetime. Why does Danvers State Hospital rank among history’s most infamous asylums? (The Infamy of Danvers State Hospital) *** Attend any amateur magic show and most assuredly you will hear a certain word at least once. Why do illusionists use this word? What does it mean – if anything? We’ll look at the very interesting history behind the word “Abracadabra.” (Say The Magic Word)<br /><br />YOUTUBE CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS…<br />00:00:00.000 = Title Story Preview and Show Open<br />00:05:53.740 = The Devil’s Daughter, Mother Shipton<br />00:11:49.055 = I Moved Into My Dead Grandmother’s House<br />00:17:50.073 = The Infamy of Danvers State Hospital<br />00:24:26.031 = Therapeutic Ghosts<br />00:34:31.408 = Say The Magic Word<br />00:40:27.963 = Show Close<br /><br />SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…<br />“Arkham’s Dark Past” was written by Darren Marlar<br />“I Moved Into My Dead Grandmother’s House” by Kelsey for Your Ghost Stories: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/rjcvecr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tinyurl.com/rjcvecr</a><br />“The Devil’s Daughter” by Marc Hartzman for Weird Historian: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/vp6vlo4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tinyurl.com/vp6vlo4</a><br />“Therapeutic Ghosts” by Andreas Sommer for Aeon: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/r7xcv2v" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tinyurl.com/r7xcv2v</a><br />“The Infamy of Danvers State Hospital” by William DeLong for All That’s Interesting: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/rd223yu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tinyurl.com/rd223yu</a><br />“Say The Magic Word” from Ancient Origins: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/sl9nlzm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tinyurl.com/sl9nlzm</a><br />Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library<br />= = = = =<br />(<i>Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Matthew Hoffman, a former tree trimmer turned murderer, became known as "The Leaf Killer" after authorities discovered his gruesome crimes in 2010. Following a downward spiral involving job loss, a breakup, and prison time for arson, Hoffman's behavior grew increasingly erratic. He began spending hours in trees, stalking his neighbors, and developing a disturbing obsession with leaves. Hoffman's fixation turned deadly when he invaded the isolated home of Tina Herrmann in Mount Vernon, Ohio, murdering her, her two children, and her friend Stephanie Sprang. After dismembering their bodies, he hid the remains in a hollow tree. His house, bizarrely filled with piles of leaves, concealed 13-year-old Sarah Maynard, whom he had kidnapped and assaulted. Hoffman’s capture was a result of meticulous police work, which involved tracking his purchases and analyzing security footage. Facing the death penalty, Hoffman confessed and led authorities to the victims' remains in exchange for a life sentence without parole. Sarah Maynard testified at his trial.<br /><br />SOURCES…<br /><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/matthew-hoffman-leaf-case/sonja-ska" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.ranker.com/list/matthew-hoffman-leaf-case/sonja-ska</a><br />Music provided by Alibi Music Library<br />= = = = =<br />(<i>Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
