Listen to “10 GRIPPING Thanksgiving Crimes and UNSOLVED Mysteries! #WeirdDarkness” on Spreaker.

IN THIS EPISODE: While the rest of Americans are at home with their families, eating turkey and enjoying annual celebrations– Thanksgiving has a darker side. We may often overlook this truth because it is rarely discussed at the Thanksgiving table. Every Thanksgiving Day there are some tragic and mysterious incidents. Many of these unfathomably awful things are never explained. Whether it is murders, gory accidents or strange vanishings during the night–these true-life unexplained mysteries and horrendous crimes might make excellent dinner-table conversation… assuming you’re dining with other Weirdos like yourself.
