Episode 64. The Mysterious Death of Joan Robinson Hill and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Oy with the Terror Podcast

This week Danielle discusses the mysterious death of socialite and avid horsewoman, Joan Robinson Hill. Joan was always known to be healthy and lively until her death drastically worsened over a short period of time. Her husband who also happened to be a doctor never showed any signs of concern which would later get seen as one way he acted oddly during this time. How did this newlywed with a young child who was known to be vivacious suddenly pass away at the age of 38?

Later, In this week's episode, Sandra talks about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa Bay Florida. The original bridge was built in 1954 and opened on September 6th. It was made to reach St.Petersburg from terra Ceia and vice versa. Today it is known for having two separate tragedies in 1980, both including boats. It also has an unfortunate history of having a high number of suicides. The only way across the bridge today is via car, and there have been reports of seeing a mysterious blonde-haired woman on the bridge. Passengers who have stopped to help her have seen her disappear. It is unclear why she is on the bridge, considering the bridge's history it is no surprise that the Skyway Bridge is known for being haunted.
