On a snowy evening in 1919, after closing a 1.5 million dollar deal, Ambrose Small disappeared into the night never to be seen again. Holly will tell us all the details about Ambrose’s business dealings and underhanded personal dealing that led up to his disappearance. Even with details about Ambrose’s last day, the scrutiny of the public eye, monetary rewards, and many theories, Ambrose's disappearance remains a mystery to this day.

Brooke brings us back to a topic that helped with the creation of this podcast: Edgar Allan Poe!

We will be doing a deep-dive into his life, his death, and the many theories and stories surrounding his last days.

We’re taking another trip into the mythical and fantastical this week! Holly will be telling us all about the stories around the mysterious Will-o’-the-wisp.

We’ll also be dipping our toes in the bog and learning a bit about the science that could be behind Will-o’-the-wisps.

Nursery rhymes aren't just creepy when sung in a horror movie, some of them have some very macabre origins.

What really happened at the abandoned amusement park, Okpo Land? Brooke will be taking us through the urban legends surrounding this rundown amusement park.

A lot of people have their own experiences of building snowmen/snow-people as soon as that first snow starts to stick, but why do we do it? When did it start?
