Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEpisode 121 I am a Christmas movie junkie! We watch holiday movies all year long, and then double down in December. I love the classics, the comedies, even a few holiday romance films, but more than anything I love Christmas horror movies. No, Christmas horror movies don’t have much to do with Philly or Pennsylvania, but they are certainly twisted. In December 2016 I released an episode about some of my favorite Christmas horror films. That is one of the most re-listen episode for TwistedPhilly fans. I’ve been repeatedly asked to release another episode about Christmas horror films. Being a fan of the Princess Bride, my only response to that request is as you wish! In this Christmas bonus episode I share a few new holiday horror films that have become fast favorites and are at the top of my list this season.

Episode 120 Can we apply today’s true crime labels to centuries old murders? Can a woman be considered a family annihilator? Does murdering your family make you a serial killer? How could what we know today about mental health disorders change the outcomes of jury verdicts and sentencing 100 years ago or more? In 1889 the city of Philadelphia hanged it’s first woman. Sarah Jane Whiteling was found guilty of murder; she killed her husband and two young children. People struggled to find a motive but there were none to be found other than greed. Multiple medical examinations resulted in the same diagnosis: Sarah Whiteling was of sound mind when she made the decision to poison her family, and calculating enough to spread out their deaths hoping to hide her crimes. Was Sara a monster? Was she suffering a mental health disorder and therefore not accountable for her actions? Did she just tire of her life in Victorian Philadelphia and long for something easier, something richer? Would this story be any different today, 130 years later?

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEpisode 119 In West Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park sit a number of historic homes, some dating back to the late 1700s. Long ago this section of the city was nothing but farmland and forests, an area where Philadelphians built country homes far from the noise and congestion of the city. These properties are rich with history, some are filled with hauntings, and all of them stand in what is known as the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood in Philadelphia, a community with it’s own history very different from the grand Fairmount charms that stand within the park. In this episode we’ll tour two of these historic homes and wander their stately rooms,. We’ll hear from a medium who believes the ghost of the original owner still resides in one of these properties and we’ll talk about how the residents of the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood are supporting their community, one with struggling schools and the second highest crime rate in Philadelphia.

Episode 118 – Special Re – Release from Halloween 2018 On Friday morning, October 30, 1992, the battered body of eleven year old Shauna Howe was found in a shallow creek bed a few miles outside the town of Oil City, Pennsylvania. Shauna was abducted Tuesday night, October 27, a few minutes after leaving a Girl Scout Halloween event. For days Oil City police, the Pennsylvania State Police, family and neighbors searched for Shauna, hoping to return her to her family alive. Sadly, their hopes were crushed when she was found murdered. While we know small towns aren’t immune to the same tragedies we suffer in bigger cities, Oil City experienced very little violent crime. Most of their criminal activity centered around property theft and petty crimes. They weren’t prepared for a case like this one, a little girl abducted on her way home from a Halloween party, just a few blocks from her house. Oil City, which sits about an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh, cancelled Halloween. No one wanted their children out at night, after dark, for any reason whatsoever. Police tested DNA from over 100 people in the community, including all the men in Shauna’s family, expecting to get a match to the DNA found on Shauna Howe’s body and clothing, but they didn’t. It took 10 years for someone to uncover what happened to Shauna, and bring her killers to justice. Yet once her murderers were behind bars, the city hadn’t reinstated night time trick or treating. Eventually Halloween was reinstated, but only from 2PM till 4PM, Finally in 2008, a little girl not much different from Shauna Howe convinced Oil City council to let their children trick or treat again at night.

Episode 117 Pennsylvania is filled with folklore and ghost stories from all over the state: ghost stories, cryptids, haunted houses and abandoned towns with misty forms wandering the forest. These legends aren’t enough for me. I always want to know the history behind the hauntings, what’s the real story that inspired the folk tales, and are these folk tales even based on truth? As we inch closer to Halloween, it’s time to gather ’round the fire for some scary tales from Philadelphia and other parts of the keystone state filled not only with strange sightings but the history behind these stories. Were these ghosts real people, what was their story, where and when did they live and why do we think they haunt the land of the living?
