Attacked, Kidnapped, Tattooed

First, Alison relates the story of a hermit who attacked a young girl in New Jersey in 1926. A note was found in his cabin stating “the Devil is making me do all the things I’m doing.” Next, we hear the story of Olive Oatman, who was kidnapped by Native Americans in the 1800s and tattooed on her chin as a member of their tribe.
