Welcome to Case of the Sunday Scaries!
Elyse dives into the morbid histories behind some of our most beloved nursery rhymes. From the horrors of the Black Death hidden in 'Ring Around the Rosie' to the violent reign of 'Bloody Mary' lurking in 'Three Blind Mice,' Elyse pulls back the curtain on these innocent-sounding songs to reveal their dark origins. Uncover the  possible human sacrifices tied to 'London Bridge is Falling Down,' and explore the gruesome ends of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette through 'Jack and Jill.' To wrap it all up, find out how even 'Hickory Dickory Dock' ties back to the plague. Whether you're a history buff, a fan of the macabre, or just looking for a good scare, this episode promises to forever change the way you hear these classic rhymes. Don't miss it!
