It's October, so we are jumping into the creepy, haunting and overall crazy stuff that has happened in history that you don't hear much about. For this episode, we take a look at Jane Toppan, sometimes known as "Jolly Jane" but really known as the serial killer nurse. Jane spent her life murdering people who were either helpless or got in her way. She admitted to killing 31 people, it is believed the real number of her victims is somewhere around 100. Jane has a really strange story that sounds like a horror movie that was derived in a Hollywood studio. Unfortunately for the 100 victims, this was not a Steven Spielberg production. Listen now to hear how Jolly Jane became known as the Serial Killer Nurse.
