Things take a turn for the weird this week — even for us — as we explore the strange case of Elmer McCurdy, an unsuccessful crook who became a famous corpse displayed at carnivals. Then we talk about America’s Greatest Hoax, the Petrified Man known as the Cardiff Giant. Come for the carnies, and stick around for a very odd detour into Bigfoot Erotica where Aaron gets a new nickname.
