Oy with the Terror Podcast

Danielle discusses the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German. The two girls were last seen hiking near train tracks in Delphi, Indiana. Their bodies were discovered the next day near a creek. After five years a suspect has finally been arrested. Richard Allen, a CVS pharmacist and member of the Delphi community is thought to be connected to the murders.

In this week's episode, Sandra talks about the History of Mischief Night. This night is most commonly celebrated on October 30th, the night before Halloween. It is currently a holiday where people, usually teenagers, run around their neighborhoods and vandalize houses. It turns out that Mischief Night started around 1790, and became more popular in the United States during the 1930s to relieve stress after the Great Depression. Mischief Night is also known as Devil's Night, Goosey Night and Cabbage Night.
