This week Emily and Rachel go "Horrible Lite" and tell two tragic stories. First, Emily heads to Paris to tell the story of Sophie Blanchard, the first female to fly a hot air balloon solo and the first to die in an aviation accident.

Then, Rachel tells us about murderess Emma LeDoux and the body in a trunk at a train station. Hopefully, you're horrified!
