In this episode, Alora takes the lead and brings the chaos with a true crime story that feels almost too wild to be real. We dive into the terrifying tale of the Harpe Brothers, two of the earliest documented serial killers in American history, whose brutality left a trail of fear across the frontier. We follow their shocking crimes, the myths that grew around them, and the very real devastation they caused. It's a journey through early America that is equal parts horrifying, fascinating, and deeply unsettling.

In our final episode on Catherine Howard, we step into what history left behind… and what did not fit neatly into our previous episodes.

A ghost said to run through Hampton Court Palace, forever caught in a moment of panic. A face no one can truly confirm, with portraits that may or may not belong to her. And a Victorian excavation of the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula that raises more questions than answers… including the absence of Catherine herself.

We unravel the legend, the mystery, and the legacy she left behind, while confronting the “bimbo” and “tart” tropes that have defined her for centuries… and how historians have begun to reexamine her story and push back against the narrative that shaped her reputation.

And with that, we bring Catherine Howard’s story to a close.

In this episode, everything finally catches up. As Thomas Culpepper and Francis Dereham face their brutal ends, the world around Catherine Howard begins to collapse in ways no one can control. Jane Boleyn unravels, the walls close in, and Catherine is taken to the Tower of London knowing exactly what’s waiting for her. There are whispers of a girl practicing with the execution block. Of fear, of inevitability, of a story slipping out of her control. We follow Catherine through her final moments, her execution, and her burial.

But this is not where her story ends.
