01- The Hinterkaifeck Murders and the Ghosts of Petit Trianon

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the very first episode of Mixed Spirits! Grab your shaker, pour a glass, and join next-door neighbors Stephanie and Annie as they dive into two completely different, yet equally mesmerizing, historical mysteries. Stephanie’s Story: The Hinterkaifeck Murders- Stephanie takes us to a remote Bavarian farmstead in 1922 for one of the most baffling and chilling unsolved mysteries in history. Days before six people were brutally murdered at Hinterkaifeck, strange things began happening: footprints in the snow leading to the house but not away, phantom footsteps in the attic, and a missing set of keys. Stephanie breaks down the eerie lead-up and the fascinating, frustrating theories of a crime that still stumps investigators over a century later.Annie’s Story: The Ghosts of Versailles Annie continues the weird vibes by taking us back to 1901 with the bizarre tale of Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain. While walking through the grounds of the Petit Trianon at Versailles, these two academics didn't just see old buildings—they stepped completely back in time. Annie shares the fascinating, elegant, and deeply unsettling story of two women who convinced themselves (and generations of readers) that they crossed paths with the ghost of Marie Antoinette in her final days.This Week's Curated Cocktail:  We traded the cocktail shaker for something a bit more authentic this week. To fuel our descent into the Bavarian countryside, we’re drinking traditional Weihenstephaner beer—sourced from the world's oldest brewery, located right in the region surrounding the Hinterkaifeck farmstead. Join us for a round of macabre mysteries and killer drinks. Cheers!
