November 05, 2020 • Fraser and Jennifer Coffeen • Season 1 • Episode 5

Episode 5 brings us two new excitingly creepy tales from the past. Fraser is up first as he presents the tale of the Manhattan Well Murder, featuring none other than Alexander Hamilton. Then, Jen gives us the history behind Doppelgangers, including stories of those who have sworn to meet their double, and what that means for them. All this plus a Creepy Cocktail: the classic Manhattan. Join us - and remember: do not talk to your Doppelganger! Follow us on social media: Twitter @CreepyHist and Instagram @CreepyHistPod.
