Happy birth-aversary to us!! To celebrate FOUR years of telling spooky stories, unsolved mysteries, and local lore, we've decided to go back to what we do best: WTF stories. This week, Hannah tells Katy the story of Alexander Pearce, a man unfairly imprisoned in Tasmania who broke out prison, and did what he had to do to survive in the Australian bush. This one is wild, and the girls had to use a felt board to keep all the characters straight, so you may want to take notes.
Pour your drinks (19 Crimes wine would be an appropriate one here), and join us for this weird AF story!
