Welcome to the 32nd episode of Wild Society!
Around 8 p.m. on March 20, 1974, a man in a white Ford Escort cut off a maroon Rolls-Royce limousine as it drove down a London road. A man in the limousine got out to stop the Ford Escort’s driver who was now walking toward the limousine, thinking he was a disgruntled motorist. From six feet away, the Escort’s driver pulled out a gun and shot the man. The gunman's mission to kidnap Princess Anne had begun.
In 1998, Amy Lynn Bradley went missing from a Royal Caribbean cruise liner. After investigators found no evidence of suicide or falling overboard, the case became a world-wide mystery. Did Amy simply decide to run away? Or was something sinister at the heart of her disappearance?
In the 1600’s pirates roamed the seas of the Caribbean in hunt of treasure and goods to be stolen. It was unheard of for females to be pirates. Most women on the ship were there to cook and clean for the crew. Anne Bonny and Mary Read pushed cultural norms when they became pirates aboard John “Calico Jack” Rackham's ship. Fighting alongside the men, the women were successful in overtaking many ships, often times leading the operations. Although they both had unusual upbringings, the women made themselves known as two of the most famous badass female pirates in history.

Welcome to the 33rd episode of Wild Society!
In April of 1996, James Smith walked into a police station confessing he had accidently killed his girlfriend of three years, 17 year old Kelly Anne Bates. What transpired from that event became one of the most horrific cases of abuse and torture ever recorded in modern day history.
A small village tucked away in the Iya Valley of Japan now has more scarecrow dolls than people. The dolls outnumber the residents ten to one. Tsukimi Ayano has made over 400 dolls that resemble people who have passed or people who once lived in the village and have left. The town of Nagoro lures around 3,000 people a year from all over the world who are interested in seeing these unique, life-size dolls. We will let you decide if you think it is creepy or cool!
