Oddities of New England Part 3: The Borden Murders

In the Summer of 1892, wealthy business owner, Andrew Borden and his wife, Abby were murdered in their home in cold blood - hacked to death by an axe. The primary suspect became their youngest daughter, Lizzie Borden. Although affluent in Fall River, MA, the Borden family went through its fair share of tragedy and dysfunction, all leading up to this point. After a year of investigation, being jailed, indicted and put on trial, all of the evidence pointed towards Lizzie being the perp, but to everyones shock, she was found innocent. So, who was Lizzie Borden, and how and why did this all happen? And more importantly, did she get away with murder?

Pants! The Enigma of the Fresno Nightcrawlers

On this edition of the Strangeology Podcast, I do a deep dive into the story and lore behind a truly enigmatic cryptid. While the first reported encounter of these 2-legged entities happened by a teenage motorist in 2004, these creatures didn't gain widespread notoriety until 2007, when a resident of Fresno, CA filmed these mysterious things walking in his yard one night. This footage is probably one of the most hotly contested pieces of cryptid footage since the Patterson-Gimlin Film 40 years prior. There are a lot of interesting and unexpected twists and turns in this story you likely haven't heard of yet. There may also be a potential answer as to what these things really are.
