We're headed WAY back in time to Ancient Egypt to discuss the life and death of the most famous Egyptian pharaoh, King Tutankhamen.

What we're really doing hanging out with the major players in the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt is because of the alleged Mummy's Curse. In the 1920s when...

Harry Houdini is probably the most famous illusionist and escape artist in history. He could escape from pretty much everything—handcuffs, boxes, jail cells, the belly of the Loch Ness Monster—you name it. But he wasn't exactly the best at making friends and influencing people. He was dead-set against anything having to do with spirituality and wrote a ton of what we assume were self-published books throwing shade at the who's-who of the magic world. So, when he suddenly died of what...

Between May 1918 and October 1919, the Axeman of New Orleans terrorized the Italian grocer population in New Orleans, Louisiana. While he had less than a 50 percent kill rate (not exceptional for a serial killer, definitely not one with personal connections to "His Satanic Majesty, Francis Josef, etc.") he made quite an impact on the city that STILL insists on jazzing it out between March 13 and 15th every year, to avoid incurring the wrath of the Axeman.
