Episode 196 | Not the First Bodies Found at the Zoo
Angie and Theresa’s mind meld is at it again. This week, Theresa starts things off by telling the morbid history of a PNW landmark, McMenamins Edgefield Hotel. It starts off as a poor farm on what is now the Oregon Zoo, and moves to Troutdale, where it became one of the most haunted places in the nation. Angie takes up the baton of the macabre as she shares about body snatching and how it led to the Doctors’ Riot of 1788. It’s a dark tale centered mostly in the US, but she does touch on the history of stealing dead people to advance medicine and touches on Burke and Hare.

Episode 194 | Glossing Over the Cannibalism
Sometimes Angie and Theresa share a special mind-meld where the topics have a surprising theme. This week, the theme is “sorta/kinda.” Theresa starts off by telling the tale of Frederick Thomas Lynwood, the Muffin Man, London’s first serial killer. In typical Theresa fashion, she catches down facts and ruins this delightful clickbait. Come for the creepy tale, and stay for all of the ways it could never be true. Angie picks up the torch and continues the theme with the story of La Voisin, the most renowned poisoner of her time. This French fortune teller was doing everything she could to keep her family afloat, including but not limited to “inheritance powders” and black masses …but does her forced confession make her guilty? This episode pairs well with: The Silmido Mutiny: https://unhingedhistory.com/2025/08/29/episode-136-kill-squad-in-your-back-pocket/Lucy Hay: https://unhingedhistory.com/2025/01/10/episode-103-proof-fashion-will-get-you-anywhere/ Transcript Theresa: Hi, and welcome to the Unhinged History Podcast, the…
