It Happened to a Friend of a Friend

Alright guys, this is a big one, so buckle up. Since we're going on a hiatus for a bit, we finally decided to do this case. The Bernardo/Homolka case is well known in Niagara, and in Ontario, and has a lot of parts to it. There's a trigger warning for this one, so listen at your own discretion. I tried to cover as much as I could without recording multiple parts...so if I miss stuff, I'm sorry. We'll be back soon, so don't go anywhere!

We're actually on schedule this week! Today we have another Canadian story of a person being convicted of a crime where the accused was actually innocent. Next is the last in our camping horror story theme...because one of us will be having a baby soon!

For today's episode we have a classic true crime story, and a once popular "science" (but was then debunked). The Lake Bodom murders still puzzle people as to the who the real whodunit truly is. Phrenology was once a popular way to determine a person's personality, but then quickly was disproven as inconsistent. Our throwbacks are the Full House "Stephanie" books, and beaded safety pins on shoe laces. Remember, you can write in with your stories or throwbacks to [email protected], or message us on Instagram.

If you're going to talk about camping horror stories, what better forest to discuss than the most haunted forest in the world...the Hoia Baciu in Transylvania. Then, a Canadian true crime that's been brought back into the spotlight with the Hulu/Disney+ mini series...Under the Bridge. The tragic death of Reena Virk in the 90s is a horrible story of bullying and teenage violence. Our throwbacks are Canadian kid's shows, and the show Bug Juice.

Since summer vacation is just around the corner, we figured it's a good time to tell some camping horror stories. Also, we're keeping with the Victorian fashion theme and giving you some other deadly ways people in that era tried to stay on trend!
