We’re kicking off spooky season with what may be one of the eeriest true-history stories we’ve had on the show.

In this two part series, Rowan presents the story of L’Inconnue de la Seine or, The Drowned Mona Lisa. Our hosts discuss the Victorian “culture of looking”, the famous Paris Morgue, death masks, drowning…and how it’s possible that they’ve both kissed a woman from the 19th century (psst…you’ve kissed her too!)
