Welcome back to the staff-only basement of the museum… where the lights flicker for reasons we don’t investigate anymore.

In Episode 10, we open a crate packed with cursed productions, scientific lunatics, catastrophic weather, medical breakthroughs with body counts, funeral industry nightmares, and a frog that turns its own skeleton into a weapon.

This one swings hard between horror, wonder, tragedy, and absolute disbelief — because history, once again, refuses to behave.

📂 CASE FILES THIS WEEK:

🎬 Case File #53: Haunted Film Sets
Suzi takes us through Hollywood productions where the horror didn’t stay on screen — fires, deaths, lightning strikes, and sets that may have been genuinely cursed.

🦴 Case File #54: William Buckland
Gavin introduces the Oxford genius who helped invent paleontology… and also tried to eat his way through the entire animal kingdom. Including, somehow, the heart of a king.

🌪️ Case File #55: The Joplin EF5 Tornado
Suzi covers one of the deadliest tornadoes in modern American history — a story of unimaginable destruction, and a community that refused to stay broken.

🩻 Case File #56: The Invention of the X-Ray
Gavin tells the story of the discovery that let humanity see inside itself for the first time… and the pioneers who paid for that miracle with their bodies.

⚰️ Case File #57: Mad Morticians
Suzi guides us through the strange, unsettling, and occasionally criminal history of the funeral industry — from Victorian corpse photography to modern crematory scandals.

🐸 Case File #58: The Hairy Frog
And finally, Gavin introduces nature’s most unhinged evolutionary choice: a frog that breaks its own bones to create claws. Because apparently that’s a thing that exists.

Six files. Zero chill.
Welcome to Episode 10.
