Friday Oct 18, 2019
Friday Oct 18, 2019
This week, Spooktober continues with the legendary Spring Heeled Jack. We'll take a trip down Cutthroat Lane and hop over to Green Dragon Alley to look at the Terror of London himself, that guy who...jumped high, spewed flames, and slapped people. Along the way, meth heads with moon boots, painting the town red, and the one and only Flamo the Great. Send us your creepy stranger stories! We shared ours--it's only fair. Send them to oldtimeycrimey@gmail.com. Don't forget about our brand-slappin' new Patreon, where you can be a Flatfoot, a Gumshoe, or a Private Dick! Also, give us that 5-star review you know we deserve! Also, give us that 5-star review you know we deserve!

We're continuing our October Spooky Crimes series with the Croglin Grange Vampire. He knows where you live, and he's at your window. Scratching, screeching, screeeeee. Remember: lunatics don't escape every day. OR DO THEY? Scott has a theory that will intrigue the hell out of you.
And along the way: how men write women, the return of British pub names, and a beer that could have been so much more.

We're starting off our month-long Halloween series with a fit of the vapors! Our first Halloween episode will take us to the mad, mad world of Mattoon, Illinois in 1944, where the "Phantom Anesthetist" attacked dozens of people with...well, we still don't know. But we have theories and rampant speculation, as always.
And don't miss several seriously random fun facts involving fast food restaurants, popular comic books, and well-known children's writers. Plus helium voices and a truly beautiful Broadway song commemorating this week's topic.
Also, give us that 5-star review you know we deserve! You can also follow us here on Podbean, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. While you're at it, hit us up on our FB group or Twitter to talk Old Timey Crime.
Thanks for listening, and remember: just, you know, don't gas people.
