Found this show about year ago and absolutely fell in love with it. Ben does an incredible job of researching and actually delving into the historical facts of each story, whether they be mysteries, ghost stories or straight up serial killers who got caught. He always leaves things up to the listener and isn't biased in his presentation. It's a very refreshing format among all those podcasts that try to present all their ghost stories as "absolute fact" or just regurgitate popular falsehoods. Definitely a huge recommend for anyone loving the more macabre side of life.

Tried to get into this series, but the dramatizations of events ended up turning me off to it. Cool concept, but when half an episode is like bad fan fiction, complete with full dialogue between characters and events presented as facts, despite having no way of actually knowing what happened outside of the base story, it takes me out of it.
