Does the Devil Think About You?
February 14, 2023 10:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBWe often don’t think about God until the day the devil thinks about us.

Because not only has the devil thought about you, he chose you. It’s hard to imagine sharin...

Such is the case of Jane Toppan, one of America’s first serial killers, who claimed to have murdered at least 31 people, perhaps as many as 100 from 1887-1901. -----Say hello!----- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fabledcollective ...

It can be difficult to pick apart because, with every new storyteller, there’s a new spin on the original. Multiply that by a hundred years or more, and what you get may scarcely resemble the seed of truth buried inside. Lore is obscure, its murky waters are fascinating to gaze upon… but is it safe...
