That is exactly what happened in the case we’re covering tonight. This is the story of fortune teller & murderer Louisa Lindloff.

The Bermonsey Horror

Tonight’s story was actually a listener request from a while back. I did not document where this request came in or who sent it, but it’s a good one.

If you have a case request you can contact me on my website or any of my social media channels.

Jane Toppan

In this season opener we’re going to cover a case that encompasses something that I think is a lot of people’s worst fears. And if it isn’t a fear you already have, it might become one after hearing this case.
