A fairly spiffy podcast about Jack the Ripper on film and telly. Begins with relevant audio from Amazon Women on the Moon, so we can tell they’ve done their research.

I’m gonna be the spoilsport here and say that if presented as fiction, these might have worked for me, but presented as things that really happened to the tale-teller, well, my eyes did a lot of rolling.

That one was really strong. I liked that one and the one about the crawlspace. I’ve seen true crime docs where squatting-via-crawlspace was a way of hiding out.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve been reading Reddit’s /r/nosleep, but I take their lead when it comes to scary stories. They are true, even if they are actually obviously not, because it’s more fun to read them if they are “true”. Even if they’re not.

Well, perhaps the really big problem is the lead up, “the 10 most frightening stories you will ever hear.” That’s a lot to live up to.

Well, I enjoy this every year. I don’t assume they are all real, tho. Just a bit of fun, yeah? But YMMV.

I suspect the inflation is the point.

Except this creature has 10 legs. But “Crustacean Baby” doesn’t make it for me.

Maybe one of those weird many-legged starfish?

On my way to see the Sisters of Mercy.

I’d make a joke about them playing right before Halloween but Andrew Eldritch would probably stab me
