Summary

First, we delve into the mysterious and unsolved case of the Hinterkaifeck Murders. In 1922, a gruesome crime took place on a remote farm in Germany, where six people were brutally murdered. What's even more chilling is that the killer may have lived in the house with the victims for several days before committing the heinous act. Join us as we uncover the eerie facts surrounding this case and attempt to unravel the mystery of the Hinterkaifeck Murders. Then, we switch gears to explore the strange tale of the Hammersmith Ghost and the vigilante gangs that tried to capture it. In the early 1800s, the residents of Hammersmith, London, were terrified by a ghostly figure that allegedly roamed the streets at night. Despite the efforts of the police to capture the ghost, a group of vigilantes took matters into their own hands. But was the Hammersmith Ghost truly supernatural or something more sinister? Tune in to find out! Join us for an episode full of intrigue, suspense, and the bizarre. Don't forget to subscribe to Box of Oddities and leave us a review if you enjoy the show.

It's like we're camping. It is like we're camping. We are. We're in our closet. It's a nice closet. It is. It's a roomy.

1:24.9

It's kind of comforting actually being surrounded by all my flannels. Yeah, takes you back to your days and main where flannel was considered formal wear.

I have so many questions about what a codfish wallet might look like. Does it look like a whole fish like its back on zips? Or is it just?
