#29 A Spooky Halloween Special!! A Clown Dynasty & A Witch's Prophecy (Emmett Kelly and family & Mother Shipton)

It's spooky season listeners! Every week we bring you two Unsung (Mostly) names from history, those stories you were never taught in school. Let's skip off on a historical journey together and learn something new; have a giggle and get the torches out ready to up light our faces for a Halloween special!This week Andrea is diving into entertainment history with a dynasty of everyone's favourite performers that aren't at all terrifying...CLOWNS! A story of whimsy, the big top, spooky dream visitation and eventually true crime.Then Annie is in Yorkshire once more, where one young lady has found herself shunned and mocked. Was it magical powers that gained her revenge on her mean neighbours? It could be hard living in the woods as a lone woman who works as a herbalist, especially if powerful men start banging on the door threatening fires and stakes. But fear not...a peaceful ending awaits!Plus the usual nonsense, ghost stories, wearing all black and whether or not Annie's house has a ghost.Andrea used these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Kellyhttps://www.factinate.com/people/facts-emmett-kelly-original-tramp-clownhttps://theskeletonkeychronicles.com/2019/12/09/sad-clown-the-tragic-legacy-of-weary-willy/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Kelly_Jr.https://thesilentfilms.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/weary-willie-and-the-three-kellys/https://aadl.org/aa_news_19800820-minister_killing_admittedAnnie used these sources:https://www.mothershipton.co.uk/the-story/https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/Mother-Shipton-Prophesies/Where you can find us:https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/https://www.tiktok.com/@[email protected] you next Wednesday!
