26 - Nantucket, MA & London, England, UK (Prism of Pain)

This week Rachel decides a pirate's life is NOT for her and takes us aboard the Essex to tell us the real-life story of Moby Dick... although this story includes a lot less symbolism and a lot more cannibalism.

Then, Emily tells the story of Timothy Evans - a man who killed his wife and daughter in 1949... or DID HE? You'll have to listen to find out. Hopefully, you're horrified.

Content/Trigger Warnings: cannibalism, abortion, spousal abuse
