McGurk's Suicide Hall and One Hundred Years of Anguish

EpisodeMay 31, 20221h 21m

Travel with us as we examine suicide in the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth century. Learn about "McGurks Suicide Hall" in the Bowery, in Manhattan, where suicide was so common it became public spectacle. Learn about "Eat em-up Jack McManus," and other Bowery denizens. I might as well warn you...this show is relentlessly depressing and dark!

Monsters. Cryptids. Hauntings. Demons. Historical Mysteries. Wild Talents...And much more. From the steaming, sometimes lovely, often terrifying town of Mugwamp, Louisiana, your host Vic Hermanson, his ghostly, cybernetic pal Boudreaux, Annabelle Lee, Beelzebubba, and Wilbur the Ethereal Pest Control Specialist guide you through lands of terror, mystery, human misery and human potential, discovery, wonder, and occasionally, the philosophy of human thought and learning. There's simply not another podcast like it.
