This week Sandra talks about the Flying Dutchman. A well-known legend of a cursed ship that pirates and seafarers fear. The Flying Dutchman has been seen since the 1700s and has been used in popular media like Spongebob Square Pants and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Find out why it is still talked about today.
Later, Danielle discusses the Moors murders. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were the people behind the killings of innocent children between July 1963 and October 1965, in and around Manchester, England. The victims were five children—Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey, and Edward Evans—aged between 10 and 17, at least four of whom were sexually assaulted. For those sensitive to violence, especially among children, this story is a heavy one.
