Welcome to this episode of horrific history and hauntings. I'm Beth.

And I'm Ramie. We're your hosts, here to talk about the stories that the history books ignore.

From horrific epidemics and gas leaks.

Gas leaks that would be horrific.

From horrific epidemics and ghostly hauntings to the catastrophes and tragic events that have sickened humanity.

Bethe, what are we talking about today?

I have some last words. Interesting last words.

Well, let me get my notepad out.

I've also added a few. I'm gonna call them fun facts. Some of them are not fun. Interesting facts.

Are they, in fact, factual?

I did my best to make sure they were okay, but if not, I apologize. So, I guess let's get into it. These are from mostly famous people. There's Alfred Jarideh, born September 8, 1873, in France. Died November 1, 1907, in Paris from, I believe, tuberculosis. He was a french writer mostly known for. I think you pronounce that ubu roi. It's a play, and I tried to watch some of it, but it was in French, so I didn't understand it.

I wouldn't know.

Well, it was apparently caused brawls in the theater when it was done, so.

It wasn't a good play.

From what I understand, it was a very good play. But that it. It was rabble rousing and chaos.

A smutty play.

The main character, I want to say, was not a wonderful person.

Ah, a Scrooge.

Well, Alfred Jari enjoyed alcohol and pranking people.

Yes.

His last words were, I am dying. Please bring me a toothpick.

Wonder what was so bad about the food he had eaten that he didn't want to take it to the grave.

Some people really like toothpicks. And I know this because when I was working in the restaurant and we stopped handing them out during the pandemic, when that first started, people would yell at us over a toothpick. So, of course, I thought of that, and I had to look up death from toothpicks.

I'd say there's a ton of them.

Um, Sherwood Anderson, american novelist. Died 1941, while on a cruise. He was drinking a martini and swallowed the toothpick that Olive was on. He suffered terrible pain for several days, and then the toothpick caused an infection in his intestine, causing his death.

Yep, that will, uh. That will be a terrible way to go.

I also found this story about a 50 year old woman in Portugal. She went to the doctor complaining her throat hurt. They gave her psychological testing and found out she was psychologically fine, so they sent her home with antibiotics for a cold. A day later, she was found dead and covered in blood from a wound on her head in her partner's bathroom. So of course they accused him at first. But the autopsy showed green color on the skin around her neck, a fragment from a wooden toothpick covered in pus and two puncture wounds in her throat wall. The toothpick interfered with nerves vital in the control of the brain, heart and lungs, leading to cardiovascular collapse.

And she just fell and hit herself.

She hit her head on the bathroom floor and that's what caused the bloody injury from her head.

I mean, she was already dying.

Yeah. There was also a New York Times article in 1984 and at that time it says doctors found that about 8000 people a year are injured from toothpicks.

My aunt Pinky, who was a nurse.

For a while, I remember she always, always warned us about toothpicks.

Yeah. We were never to have toothpicks in our mouth for any long period of time. No, she did not have them in her home that I can remember. Whenever I would go eat with her and I'd get one, she'd get real upset.

Yeah.

And she was a nurse for a long time and said she's seen some, seen some bad stuff, especially if the.

Things we've read here.

Yeah.

But to all those people that yelled at me and my coworkers over the toothpicks, if you think about it, they're really not sanitary even before the pandemic because you either have the ones that you grab where everybody's hands is in or you have the little thing where you push down to get it to come out, in which case a bunch of people have pushed down and then you're putting it in your mouth and that's. So why wouldn't you just go to like the dollar tree or a dollar store and put some in your car? If you want a toothpick that bad, how are you going to yell at somebody that's just doing their job and being, doing what they're told to do because you can't get a toothpick.

The people who want a toothpick that bad have had something stuck in their mouth, like in their teeth to the point where they have already picked at it and then they're going to reach down and press that thing to get the toothpick on the way out. And everybody who gets the toothpick have probably suffered the same problem. So imagine all the nasty.

Oh, yeah. Not that this has anything to do with that, but from working in a restaurant, the lemons are also not sanitary.

I don't use lemons for anything.

Well, a lot of people do. Now we're going to Dylan Thomas. He was a welsh poet born October 27, 1914, in south Wales. He wrote poems such as do not go gentle in the good Night and death shall have no dominion. He died November 9, 1953, in New York City after a night of excessive drinking. He collapsed in the Chelsea hotel and later died at St. Vincent's Hospital. His last words were, I've had 18 straight whiskeys. I think that's the record it would be for him. Now, fun facts about alcohol related deaths. More than 140,000 people died from alcohol related causes from 2015 to 2019. About 97,000 men and about 43,000 women.

Men must like to drink a bit more or they're just weaker about it.

Yeah. Alcohol is the fourth leading preventable cause of death in the United States, behind tobacco, poor diet and low physical activity and illegal drugs.

Huh. You know, I seen tobacco, and I might have seen the dietary part.

Yeah. I don't know if this has changed since then, because this was from 2015 to 2019, which I guess isn't that far behind, but still, it could have changed.

Yeah. I think Daisy's getting a bite to eat.

She is.

Yep. That's that sound.

And I don't know if I'm gonna say this last name right, but. Ronald Dahl.

That's how I would have said it.

Okay. Born September 13, 1916, in Wales. Died November 23, 1990, in, I want to say Oxford, England. I could only find one source that.

Said that, so let's put it in no source.

Yeah. He was a british writer for popular children's books. Oh, the BFG. Which I was told to say, it's not from doom.

The big friendly giant.

The big friendly giant.

I read that, but I also played doom.

Well, I only played the very first one that had horrible graphics, so I don't know what that's supposed to be in reference to.

Okay, it's a big gun. And what do you think the f stands for?

Big fucking gun.

That's what it is. This is 3000 in the newer games. Oh, BFG 3000.

Okay. He also wrote James and the giant Peach, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate factory as well.

Wow.

There was a lot more. I just didn't add them in. But he wrote a lot of, you.

Know, I didn't have a clue.

Popular ones.

Yeah. I didn't have a clue. They were all the same writer.

I didn't either. I didn't even know Matilda was a book at first.

I don't know anything about Matilda? All the other ones I recognize.

Matilda's the little girl that her family didn't want her, and they just pretty much neglected her. So she read a bunch of books and she started. She was extremely intelligent and started to develop these psychic powers. Well, these powers where she could move stuff with her head.

Isn't that just firestarter Carrie?

Yeah, but she wasn't evil. Well, I guess Carrie wasn't evil to begin with, either. No, but she was a little girl that did that. His last words were thought to be, you know, I'm not frightened. It's just. It's just that I'll miss you all so much.

Oh, that's sweet.

Yeah. Then the nurse injected him with morphine. So his actual last words were, ow, fuck.

Oh, no. I mean, were they euthanizing him?

No, they were just. I guess they were injecting him with morphine. So I guess they wanted him to not feel pain. But he felt it.

Yeah. Something must have been really wrong with the guy for him to need morphine.

Yes. And then I'm to my fun facts part, and I tried to look up death by peaches, but couldn't find anything except for this woman named Peaches that got murdered. I believe I could be wrong. That's. So I looked up death by chocolate, and I don't mean the recipe, because at first, I looked up death by chocolate, and that's all that came up, was a chocolate cake recipe.

You probably shouldn't eat something called that. Yeah, I wouldn't.

I don't know. It sounds good. So I had to reword it in my research, and I found a chocolate factory exploded in Pennsylvania. I believe it happened in the year 2023.

Yeah, Beth, I remember that.

I don't. I don't watch a lot of news anymore because it. It's kind of really negative, you know?

The chocolate factory exploded?

Yeah. They believe it was a gas leak. And it killed seven people.

Yeah.

In the year 2009 in New Jersey, a 29 year old employee of a chocolate factory was pouring the chocolate into a vat for melting, and he fell in from a nine foot high platform.

Okay.

As the chocolate was being mixed, the chocolate being churned was apparently for Hershey's. Oh, no, I doubt they used it, I would hope.

Yeah. I wouldn't eat Hershey's chocolate that had 29 year old employee mixed with it.

No.

Poor guy.

At least put it on a warning label.

Yeah. That's unfortunate, though.

Yeah. Lady Nancy Astor was born. What?

Nothing. She just sounds like she belonged to the Titanic.

There was an aster on the Titanic. But I don't know if she was a part of that. I didn't see anything, but I didn't exactly look too much into that. She was born May 19, 1879, in Danville, Virginia.

Cool. That's not far off.

No, not. She died May 2, 1964, in England. She was the first woman to sit in the British House of Commonsense.

Wow.

Yeah.

Good for her.

Yes. Her last words in response to seeing her whole family by her bedside was, am I dying, or is it my birthday?

Bad news, Miss Nancy.

And I couldn't find much because I looked up birthday deaths, and I couldn't find too much. That was interesting. But I found the birthday effect, which shows statistically you're more likely to die on or near your birthday than any other day.

We found that to be kind of true.

Do we?

Yeah. Bill, didn't he go?

When was his birthday?

December.

Oh, yeah. It would have been close.

Yeah.

Yeah. But I also hear that you're more likely to die on or around Christmas. In the holiday season.

A lot of people try to hang on till just after Christmas.

Yeah.

They put up a good fight.

Karl Marx, born May 5, 1818, in Germany. Died March 14, 1883, in London.

Mm hmm.

There was a whole list of things that he was, but.

Yeah. You've heard of marxist like?

No.

Okay. Nevermind.

No. He was a german philosopher, historian, sociologist, journalist, and a political theorist.

The biggest thing he done, if you look down the next one down on.

Your list, I see that the communist manifesto is some of his notable work, which I've heard of, but I really don't know much about. I should have done more research on it, but I had a lot to cover.

So it's kind of what founded communism.

Yeah.

That had an impact on the world.

Yeah, it did. His cause of death, I put bronchitis, but I also seen a source that said it was pneumonia. So I'm guessing it was just something to do with breathing or lungs or throat.

Could have been anything then.

Yeah. His last words in response to his housekeeper asking him for his last words was, go on, get out. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough.

He said plenty.

I was gonna say, from what I was looking into, he was many things, and it looks like he did a lot of talking, so guess he has a point.

Yeah. USSR and People's Republic of China and all that.

Francisco Poncho Villa, I believe, is how you say that. Born June 5, 1878. Died July 20, 1923. Was assassinated during an ambush.

Have you not heard of him, too?

No.

Okay.

But I actually believe I highlighted his name when I was taking these notes because I wanted to look more into it.

He had a very interesting life as well.

Yeah, well, his last words were, don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something important.

Most people try to think about what they will say if they are in a dangerous profession.

I hope I'm asleep. So I'm not able to say anything.

That sounds like the ideal situation.

Now we're going on to death row. Last words.

Those are the saddest ones, really.

There's some interesting ones. Some of them say that there's no records of these actually being their last words. And I try to note that in the ones that I found that who knows? They're still interesting. Thomas J. Grasso, born November 23, 1962, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Died March 20, 1995, in McAllister, Oklahoma. By lethal injection, he strangled an 87 year old woman in her Tulsa, Oklahoma home on December 24, 1990.

Wow, what an awful time to do that.

He did it by using her Christmas lights.

Oh, man.

He was able to steal $8 from her purse, $4 in loose change, and a tv, which he sold for dollar 125.

Some people and the extent they go to.

In July 4, 1991, he murdered an 81 year old man on Staten island. He was able to steal his Social Security check.

Well, that was probably more than he got it from poor old woman on Christmas.

I didn't put the names, mostly of the victims. Cause some of these, later on, I wanna have a whole episode on them. So I wanted to go in more detail whenever I did that. I also did put some last meals in here for some of these. This one in particular. His last meal was two dozen mussels, two dozen clams, a double cheeseburger from Burger King, half a dozen ribs, two strawberry milkshakes, half a pumpkin pie, strawberries. And he asked for a can of spaghettios with meatballs. But they gave him just regular spaghetti.

Out of all the stuff he asked for, he just. They gave him a spaghetti.

Oh, no. They gave him everything else just fine. But he wanted his can of spaghettios, and he got regular spaghetti.

I'm not taking up for the guy, you know?

So, yeah, his last words were, I did not get my spaghettios. I got spaghetti. I just want the press to know this.

I wonder if that brought a chuckle to some people. I would have probably chuckled.

So the Christmas lights thing stuck out to me. So I looked up Christmas decorations.

I bet there was a lot of fires.

Yeah, I didn't add the fires. Cause I feel like the news probably every year warns you about the fires and their own.

Yeah.

Statistics for it. But I did find from 2007 to 2016, it's estimated that more than 173,000 people in the United States were injured by Christmas trees, lights and other holiday decorations.

Well, maybe they should tone it down just a little.

I don't really decorate for Christmas. I have this little tabletop Grinch Christmas tree and a couple of, like, little Grinch items because that's pretty much all I like about it. And I'll sit them around, but it's not many at all.

So I have to decorate the outside large pine tree for mom, which involves, like, a 20 foot long pole and hundreds of feet of lights. It's quite the production.

Yeah. There was also. This one makes sense because I do not like the Santa clauses, but about 227 children are injured from accidents related to visiting Santa, such as a few ending up in the emergency room after falling off his lap while trying to run away.

Well, some kids just don't get along with Santa. Yeah, or his big white beard.

Kind of creepy.

So.

I get it now. We're going to George Apple. He was born in 1886, died in 1928 from the electric chair because he murdered a New York City police officer. And his last words were, well, gentlemen, you are about to see a baked apple.

I have heard that one.

I think his last words are pretty much the only reason people know who he is. So I looked up death by apples. I didn't find much about people dying from apples, but I did find this about. I want to say it's pronounced manchinily. Manchinils. Manchinils.

I don't know how to pronounce that.

I'm not sure. It's a small apple like fruit. It tastes sweet. And it's also called the little apple of death, which I like that better because I can actually pronounce that.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's found around the Caribbean and northern tropics. The indigenous people used the SAP to poison arrows and contaminate the water supply of their enemies. Of course, if consumed, it can cause intense burning and severe swelling of the throat. The area around the mouth may get inflamed or blister, and it can cause possible digestive problems.

It doesn't. I mean, it sounds bad, but it doesn't sound deadly.

Well, just touching the leaves or standing under them while it's raining can cause blistering wounds on the skin.

Okay. That's enough to really bother our enemy if nothing else.

Yes. And if SAP or smoke from the burning wood gets in your eyes, it can cause temporary blindness.

You know, poison ivy could do that sometimes.

Yeah. Yeah. But I thought it was interesting. I didn't know about that little apple like fruit.

I never heard of it.

James Frenchenhouse, born 1936, I believe, in Illinois. He died August 10, 1966, in McAllister, Oklahoma. I want to say he was the last one to be executed, if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong. Anyway, he was serving life for murdering a West Virginia man who gave him a ride while he was hitchhiking.

Huh.

He murdered him and stole his car. And then in October 27, 1961, he murdered his cellmate. And he said he did it because he was stupid and refused to shape up.

What?

Yeah, that was his excuse for what's up with that? And I want to say he asked for the death a lot of people penalty, believe it or not. And he believed that his cellmate also deserved the death penalty.

So I guess that's why dealing out justice to whoever. Let me do you a favor. Wow.

His last words were, hey, fellas, how about this red headline for tomorrow's paper? French fries.

Oh, that was in my book as well.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's a good one. I never knew the rest of the story, but I just had the name and what.

See, at first when I was doing the notes for this, I was just writing down the last words, and then I was like, that's not really that interesting. That's just going to be me listing off a bunch of words. Why not look into some of these a little bit more?

Yeah.

So I looked up fraud related deaths, and I found that in 2022 in Brooklyn, a 23 year old McDonald's employee was shot in the neck and killed by a 20 year old who was upset because his mother got served cold fries.

He's a mama's boy, for sure.

Yeah, I love my mama. But I also worked at McDonald's as my first job, and I know how horrible people treat those employees that are just trying to do their jobs. So, no, abba, you're gonna be lucky if I even say anything about it. I might go up and simply ask politely, because, you know, that's a thing. You can go up and politely ask, could I get some fresh fries?

Yeah.

Instead of going up and shooting a poor young McDonald's employee or just get.

Home and put them in the microwave.

Yeah, I like microwave fries. They got served cold fries, but it didn't turn out to be a cold case because the 20 year old got convicted, as he should.

Yeah, he kind of had it coming.

Yeah. Jimmy L. Glass, born 1962 died June 12, 1987, in Louisiana from electric chair.

87. I didn't even know they were still operating those things. In 87.

Yeah, he bound, gagged, and shot a couple. The man was 55. His wife was 51. On Christmas Eve.

Oh. A lot of that happening in this episode.

It seems Christmas or the holiday season.

It's a real stressy time. So you have to go out and, I suppose, rob and murder someone. I guess.

I don't know. His last words was, I'd rather be fishing.

Yeah, no doubt he must have.

I bet you would.

He probably didn't. He's not one of the ones who asked for the death penalty, I'd imagine.

Doesn't seem like it. James W. Roger, born August 3, 1910, in Texas. Died March 30, 1960, in. In Utah by firing squad. He murdered a co worker while working in the mines. On June 19, 1957, he shot the man multiple times in the head, arm, and torso. And the reason for this was because they had an argument about how to properly grease a shovel.

I don't know what to say to that. That's just as silly as the cold fries.

A lot of these are so ridiculous.

They've probably been in each other's throats for a while.

Yeah. And that just happened to be the last draw. I mean, he was so pathetic.

Did you say he in the mines? He murdered him in the mines. So he came prepared.

I'm gonna assume he was in the mines because they were arguing about how to do this.

Okay.

I'm guessing. Yeah. His last words were, I done told you my last request. Bring me a bulletproof. Bulletproof vest.

Fair.

Yeah. Understandable. He didn't get his bulletproof vest, though. He didn't ask for, like, the spaghetti os. He did not get what he asked for.

He had another person not asking for the death penalty, clearly.

Now, this is one that I want to do a whole episode on because I really didn't know about him. And when I was reading up and skimming through this stuff, I found it to be a very interesting story. So, Francis Tougun Crawley, born October 31, 1912, in New York City. Died January 21, 1932, by electric chair. He robbed a bank, stole cars, and shot a few people, some of them being officers, and some of them did die.

Seems like the kind of person that would end up in the chair.

Yeah. Like I said, I want to do a whole episode on him, but he has so much, so much. There's so much more detail to go into for him, like a bonnie. And it's really interesting. Yeah. His last words were, you sons of bitches, give my love to my mother. Now, no records can be found that this is true or not. But from what I read about him, it sounds like the sons of bitches part, especially sounds like something he would say. I don't know about the give my love to my mother part, because from what I'm thinking, he didn't have a very good family life.

Who knows then?

Yeah, like I said, I'm pretty interested in that one. I definitely want to do one on that. Johnny Frank Garrett, born December 24, 1963, died February 11, 1992, from lethal injection in Texas. He was convicted for the murder and rape of a catholic nun, which was also his neighbor.

Oh, no.

Yeah. On October 31, 1981, in Amarillo, Texas. She was 76 years old at the time, and he would have been 17 years old.

What? Oh, no. The boy had problems.

His last meal was ice cream, and his last words were said to be, I'd like to thank my family for loving me and taking care of me. The rest of the world can kiss my ass. Well, this is another one of those that some sources say this is not true, that he refused to say any last words when asked. But still some interesting, if they are.

True, it looks like this should be public record.

Yeah, I don't think at some of these times they kept very good track of these things, but I feel like they should.

This was 1992.

Yeah, that should have been. It was the documented.

Yeah.

More commonly known, the John Wayne Gacy.

Oh, I know of him, yeah.

Born March 17, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois. Died May 10, 1994, in Statesville, Illinois, from lethal injection. He's known for performing as a clown at children's parties and murdering at least 33 boys and young men.

He's the reason. No, there's another guy, I believe, who is the reason for the stereotypical kidnapper in a van trope thing.

His last meal was a bucket of KFC original recipe french fries, twelve deep fried shrimp, one pound of strawberries, and a bottle of diet Coke. I would rather have regular poop, but his last words were kiss my ass. And I really didn't put this one in here for the listeners, but I put it because I thought you would think it was interesting. Sheila Warren dressed up as a clown and shot a woman at her doorstep. Went up to this woman's doorstep in Florida and shot her while dressed like a clown. She was actually the former owner of the purple cow in Kingsport.

I've ate there.

Yeah, it's pretty good. Please do.

Not too far.

No, I hadn't ate there yet. Um, it is close to us. And we have ate at the purple cow and. Pretty interesting.

Yeah. Food's okay for sure. I think someone drove into it not too long ago, dipped it over. Oh, I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I've seen that on the local.

Well, it's not a very big building, I guess.

Not the whole building. The cow.

Oh. Oh, poor cow.

Someone drove into the building and just tipped it over.

Well, it's not a very big building for anyone listening.

The purple cow, the drive through purple cow building.

It's not one of those places you go in.

No. It's like a pal sudden surface that you just pull up to it. It's smaller than the pals, though. Pull up to it, go around and get your food. But there is a big purple cow planted outside, right on the edge of the road, and someone has run into it not too long from now.

How do you miss a big purple cow?

I don't think they did. I think they hit it.

Exactly. Why would you hit the big purple cow? This one is strange. Last words. Eileen Wornos. I want to say is how you say her last name. Born February 29, 1956, in Rochester, Michigan.

Yeah.

Died October 9, 2002, in Stark, Florida, from lethal injection. She murdered at least seven men from 1989 to 1990.

That was a quick succession.

She made it very clear she hated men, obviously. Yes, her last words. And if you can understand these, please let me know. I just like to say, I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back like Independence Day with Jesus. June 6. Like the movie big mother ship and all of I'll be back. Independence Day is not on June 6, first of all. So I don't know what that's supposed to be about. Some say she was talking about the rock, the actor. But I don't know if he was that popular back then.

I don't know either.

I would have been like seven, I believe.

I have no idea what any.

Or if she just meant a stone. And I don't know why she thinks Jesus is going to come with her, which she has not come back, obviously. Yeah, I've got in my notes. Excuse me, ma'am, but what? Could you please explain?

Yeah, it looks like you at least asked that much.

Yeah, but who knows? She is another one I need to go into.

Maybe it's an inside joke to someone, someone who know her really well. That is clearly not. A man is just laughing it up every time somebody mentions it.

I don't know. Who knows? We'll probably never know.

No.

Wesley Allen Dodd, born July 3, 1961, in Washington. Died January 5, 1993 in Washington and was executed by hanging.

Oh, wow.

In 1993 in Washington. In Washington, yeah. Yes. The reason for execution was because he kidnapped, raped, and was a child molester. Another one of those. Need to go into more detail on later on.

Oh, dear.

His last meal was broiled salmon and fried potatoes.

I mean, compared to Gacy's big KFC pack, this sounds kind of sad.

Yeah. His last words were. I was once asked by somebody, I don't remember who, if they were, if there was any way sex offenders could be stopped. I was wrong. He said no. Okay, sorry, I missed that part. He said no. And he was wrong because he got caught and executed. Robert Towery, born July 20, 1968. Died March 8, 2012 from lethal injection in Arizona. He was known for robbing and murder. His last words, after apologizing to the victim's family and talking about the bad choices he made in life, were, I love my family. Potato, potato, potato.

Why?

I believe they had already injected him and maybe he was delirious thinking about potatoes. I don't know. Delirious? Yeah. That's probably. If I had last words, that's probably what it'll be. Potato, potato, potato. Or tater chip. Some. Probably not fun for some people, but I put fun fact about potatoes and death. Everybody knows about the potato famine, but I have it in here as well. The average potato famine is estimated to have killed 1 million deaths, 1 million people between 1845 and 1851 from starvation or hunger related diseases.

That's not so great.

There was also one, I believe a russian family had rotting potatoes in their basement and the gases from it killed them. It poisoned them and killed them.

You can smell. We've had potatoes that go bad in the dairy and you can smell that. It's. It's not a good smell. How they lived with that long enough to die from it.

I want to say that the parents died. In only one of the children, a girl, lived, if I'm not mistaken.

Probably couldn't take the smell anymore.

But also, I found in India, eight people died after massive sacks of potatoes caused a facility's roof to collapse. I wanna say this happened in March of 2023.

Of course it did.

Some sources said that it was actually 14 people, but BBC said eight. So I'm going with BBC's.

I would too, unless it was an old report.

Like I said, the date that I seen was March 2023, but I don't know if that's last time they updated it or if that's when it happened. Carl Panzeram, born June 28, 1892, in Minnesota. Died September 5, 1930, in Kansas by hanging. He killed at least 21 people, and he said that he sodomized at least 1000 mils. His last words, after he spat in the face of the hangman, he said, hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard. I could kill a dozen men while you're screwing around. I didn't know what Hoosier was, so I looked it up. It is Indiana, I believe. Resident of Indiana.

What, like the us state of Indiana?

Um, Peter Curtin, I believe. This is a german one also. And I don't know if I'm saying that last name right.

I.

But it looks like curtain. Born May 26, 1883 in Germany. Died July 2, 1931, also in Germany by guillotine.

Guillotine.

Guillotine, yes. He was known as Dusseldorf vampire. As the Dusseldorf vampire.

Cool name.

Yeah. I also need to look into him as well.

He sounds like Dumbledore turned into a vampire. He's Dumbledore's other brother, Dusseldorf.

He murdered at least nine people.

Ope not a good brother.

No. Uh, his last words were, tell me, after my head is chopped off, will I still be able to hear, at least for a moment, the sound of my own blood gushing from the stump of my neck? That would be the pleasure to end all pleasures.

Well, I believe you were conscious for quite a while.

Yeah.

Well, that was exciting.

And I actually have a lot more up.

Well, we might come back to them at later. We'll get into something else next week, branch off for a while.

Speaking of which, I have a few next episode ideas that I was gonna have you pick from. You can choose haunted amusement parks, torture devices, haunted roads, haunted or cursed objects. Or we could do like, a quick overview overview episode of different natural disasters.

Let's go with the Haunted amusement parks, because we haven't had enough hauntings in this podcast series yet.

All right, haunted Amusement parks it is.

Cool. So we look forward to that. If you like what you've heard here today, you could find our other podcast. It is called Brother knows Quest. In the description of this podcast, I'll leave a link to our podcast network, the gruesome gaming group, and it will take you to a site where you could look at all of our podcasts. We also, or me and Dakota, my friend, also have a podcast called Leveling Duo, where we talk about the video games that we liked and have came back to to enjoy and as we grown up. Thank you for listening.

I've been Ramey, and I'm Beth, and.

We hope that you come back again next week. Goodbye.
