Subscribe, rate & review Join The Spookaroos Tonight Eric tells the tale of alleged serial killer Joseph Metheny. Metheny was convicted of two murders and a third attempted murder, but the wilder aspects of his story didn't come to light until many years after his arrest. In a confession supposedly written by Metheny, he claims to have killed at least 7 people. Some, he claimed, we butchered and served as hamburgers at his roadside sandwich stand. These claims have never been verified, and Eric has his doubts about their factualness, but...it does make for one hell of a story! All this plus Eric discusses one thing he is truly afraid of: vacation! Music by Occultic Overtones Listen to this episode
Subscribe, rate and review Join The Spookaroos Tonight Eric is going over the history of what just may be the most famous means of execution: The Guillotine! Despite its gruesome reputation, the guillotine was actually invented as a more humane form of capital punishment. In fact, the man who it's named after, Dr. Guillotine, was against the idea of capital punishment and was not very pleased that the devise became so closely linked to his name. The French first made use of the guillotine in the 1790's and used it right up until 1977! In all that time, one question remained: was the guillotine actually any more humane than other forms of execution? All this plus Eric discusses his Halloween season and describes the differences between Sleepy Hollowand Salem...again. All this and more on tonight's Spooky A S.
