In 1860, Elizabeth Packard was committed to Jacksonville Insane Asylum for “extensive application of body and mind,” or as she put it, “placed there by her husband for thinking.” She spent three years there, enduring horrific abuses alongside countless other women whose husbands and families had abandoned them. When she finally got out, she went after the men, laws, and systems that put her there - and she won. “The time for downtrodden and oppressed women to have their rights has come. Her voice and her pen are going to move the world.” - Elizabeth Packard Books by Elizabeth Packard: Marital Power Exemplified, or Three Years Imprisonment for Religious Belief (1864)Great Disclosure of Spiritual Wickedness in High Places (1865)The Mystic Key or the Asylum Secret Unlocked (1866)The Prisoners' Hidden Life, Or Insane Asylums Unveiled (1868)The Great Drama (1878) The docuseries Kathryn mentioned is called Death of a Pastor’s Wife on Netflix.

Hidden in the Venetian Lagoon, just a short distance from the glittering streets of Venice, Poveglia has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted islands in the world—a place so steeped in death and tragedy that even today, few people are willing to set foot there. For centuries, the island was used to quarantine victims of disease. The sick were brought there. The dying were abandoned there. And the dead were buried there. But you might be surprised by where the hauntings actually come from (we definitely were).

Is there anything scarier than being trapped on a boat with a delusional murderer? If there is, I (Gina) don’t want to know. When the Mary Russell departed for Barbados in 1828, it was just another routine trading voyage. That is, until the captain dreamed there was mutiny afoot. Believing it to be a warning from God, Captain Stewart sank deeper into righteous paranoia - and when his men tried to calm him, he answered with violence. Ultimately, half of those onboard would never make it home.

In June 1912, eight people were brutally murdered inside a small home in Villisca, Iowa. Despite an extensive investigation and countless suspects, the case remains officially unsolved.

In 1892, Abby and Andrew Borden were violently murdered inside their home. Andrew’s 32-year-old daughter, Lizzie, was famously arrested and - after a very dramatic trial - acquitted of the crime. But to this day, the court of public opinion finds her guilty. In this episode, we’re zeroing in on Lizzie’s side of the story. How did her personality influence the investigation? Were any of the headlines true? And did she really stand a chance when authorities simply “didn’t like that girl”? 📚Recommended reading The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century by Sarah MillerThe Trial of Lizzie Borden by Cara RobertsonLizzie Borden Uncut: A Casebook of Theories by William D.

In 1984, a group of teenagers started a band called Mayhem, ushering in a new, darker evolution of Norwegian black metal. Born from a hatred of “humanity, life and happiness,” Mayhem attracted a fanatical fanbase - but it quickly spiralled out of control. In just a few short years, this bloodthirsty subculture escalated from internal power struggles to outright violence, leading to several murders, multiple imprisonments, and a string of now-infamous church burnings.  🚨Need to talk to someone?🚨 🇺🇸Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (USA): Dial 988 🇬🇧Samaritans UK: Dial 116 123 🌎Resources from the International Association for Suicide Prevention Story Starts: 06:43 Welcome to I Scream, You Scream, where Gina & Kathryn serve up your weekly scoop of the most chilling histories, mysteries & paranormal perplexities – all with a side of ice cream! 🍦Flavor of the Month: Outrageous 💀Topic of the Month: Outrageous   🖤Join us on Patreon! 💰Get your FREE investing guide from CloBare at https://getlazynow.com/ New episodes drop every Tuesday! 👻Want to share a ghost story of your own?
