Ep. 12 Sleepwalking Killers & Gargoyles

Welcome back to another episode of Oy with the Terror Already!! Danielle covers two famous homicidal sleepwalking cases. Firstly Albert Tirrell and his lawyer, Rufus Choate from Boston. Tirrell was accused of killing his mistress, Mary Bickford, in 1846 and was ultimately acquitted. Secondly, we travel to Canada in 1987 where Kenneth Parks killed his mother-in-law while sleepwalking and also sleep-driving. Then Sandra discusses gargoyles and their influence on architecture and design. Specifically the meaning behind the gargoyles at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. Besides their practical use of helping to drain rainwater from the roof, they are also known to come alive at night to protect the local residents from the area.
