105 The Cursed Car of Archduke Ferdinand

from Ghosthropology · host The Ghosthropologist

As the inciting incident of World War I, it is no surprise that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand would be the subject of folklore. However, the car he was in when he was killed has been the focus of increasingly strange and macabre stories of death and dismemberment since the 1920s. In this episode, Matt explores the story of the infamous car in which the Archduke took his final ride and how the tales deviate from the truth.
