Old Timey Crimey #133: Haunted Dolls - ”Disembodied Voices”

Spookyween commences with an examination of dolls that just so happen to be surrounded by weird activity. It's a total coincidence, clearly. Also a coincidence: that the podcast host wouldn't allow us to upload episode art. 

Thanks to sponsor Crazy is as Crazy Does: The Life of a Serial Killer by John H. Mudgett--buy it on Amazon or BN.

Go listen to Muriel's Murders because they're awesome.
