The Corpse In The Lighthouse
Summary
The hosts open with a mail segment featuring fan gifts like custom candles and Australian candy. They then recount the harrowing true story of Thomas Howell, a lighthouse keeper who survived months alone with his dead partner’s body strapped to the railing. The episode concludes with a humorous tale of Lord Byron smuggling a bear into his dorm and a dubious legend about two aristocratic women dueling topless over floral arrangements.
