A Study of Strange

In 1921 screams were heard coming from Carl Großmann’s apartment. Neighbors quickly called the police who arrived to catch Großmann in a frightening, murderous act that caused the papers to label him The Berlin Butcher. 
 
Großmann is a notorious serial killer but his claim to fame today (selling sausages made of human meat) may be entirely made up. On this episode of "A Study of Strange" we try to suss out the truth.

Towards the end of the first world war, a German U-boat, SM UB-85, was captured off the shores of Northern Ireland. The sub was found on the surface, its crew on deck, and willingly surrendering. Legend has it that the German soldiers told the crew of the British Patrol boat that they were attacked by a monstrous sea creature, and the sub was damaged beyond repair.

The most notorious account of poltergeist activity in Canada is said to have started in 1878. Esther Cox was a young woman who began hearing unexplainable noises, such as knocking and scratching sounds, in her bedroom at night. Soon These events escalated into objects moving, physical attacks, and fires starting on their own. The paranormal events were reported on extensively, but they're still debated to this day.

The deaths of Arnold Archambeau and Ruby Bruguier are a tragic and controversial mystery that occurred in South Dakota in 1992. The couple were driving early one morning when they hit black ice and their car flipped. Both left the wreck, with Bruguier's cousin still inside the vehicle, and then disappeared. Months later their bodies were found near the sight of the crash, but some strange evidence points to them having died somewhere else entirely.

On July 10th, 1967, 25 year old mother of three, Leota Camp, was found by her young children, stabbed and bleeding in a small bedroom of the family’s home in Des Moines, Iowa. There was no sign of a robbery, forced entry, or sexual assault. In short, there doesn't seem to be a motive, and the attack happened when family and neighbors were within earshot. The murder of Leota Camp still haunts her family and friends to this day and has become one of Iowa's most notorious cold cases.
With special guest Bill Whirity.

Considered to be the first American serial killers, Micajah and Wiley Harpe were born in North Carolina in the mid to late 1700s and became notorious for their violent crimes in Kentucky and Tennessee. They are known for committing a series of brutal murders.  We dive into the fascinating and dark history of the Harpe Brothers, exploring their lives, their crimes, and the rumors and legends that have grown up around them. 
The Harpes proved to be an immensely hard subject to research and pinpoint exact details. Both because of the time the Harpes lived and because rumors and folklore, which can't be confirmed, dominate their story. But they were real and they were terrifying.
