The Denver Spider Man & The Great Molasses Flood

Sinister Sisters

On this week's episode, it’s two true life stories - one scary, spidery and one sad, “sappy!”
First, Lauren tells the story of “The Denver Spider Man” aka Theodore Edward Coneys - a terminally ill man who was told by doctors that he would not make it to his 18th birthday. Well he proved them wrong…but what horrifying lengths did he go to to survive in his twisted web of his life & lies?!
Next, Felicia explores one of the most wild true stories we've ever covered! On January 15, 1919, a giant storage tank filled with molasses burst, sending a tidal wave of molasses through the streets of Boston. The “Great Molasses Flood,” also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster, resulted in a massive amount of damage, injuries, and even several deaths. The rumor is you can still smell molasses on hot days in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Molassachusetts!
