Episode 55: The Papin Sisters and Other Acts

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our three-act sideshow tent! Come and hear three acts of true-crime carnage and terror, yes, three tales of murder and mayhem!

 

Hear the story that shocked France: the Papin Sisters, servant girls who brutally murdered and sexually mutilated their mistresses. Was it psychosis or class struggle? You be the judge!

 

Hear the tale of an evil clown, and the death of the clown king!

 

And, as our pièce de résistance, we present the elusive Satan Rock that Ed and Lorraine Warren warned you about! Yes, Evil clowns, strange murdering sisters and Satan Rock.

 

Right this way, right this way, let’s get on with the show!!
