About this episode
This episode explores bizarre historical events including the Beale Papers and the Emancipation Duel.
Ever get stuck in front of the TV watching the bizarre shows labeled as history? This episode is just like that, but only for your ears. We offer nothing for your eyes. Angie kicks things off with the Beale Papers. This story takes us on a journey through history, where we attempt to crack codes and locate a large amount of buried gold, silver, and jewels in Bedford County, Virginia. Theresa is skeptical from the start, but mostly because she doesn’t trust innkeepers entrusted with secrets. Theresa takes things in a wildly different direction when she covers the Emancipation Duel, or that time Princess Pauline Metternich and Countess Anastasia Kielmansegg got into an argument over flower arrangements and decided the best way to settle things was with a topless sword fight. Then she delves into whether we can believe the intense press coverage of the incident. This episode pairs well with: The Cardiff Giant The Craziness that is the Country of Liechtenstein
