Ep. 133: Monkey See, Monkey Slash- The Halifax Slasher & The Monkey Man of Delhi

Hey, spooky souls! We’re getting into some monkey business today, with two stories that really make you question your own mind.First up, we’re heading to Halifax, England, in 1938, where the town was gripped by fear of a shadowy attacker known as the Halifax Slasher. Panic spread like wildfire, witnesses swore they were attacked, and yet… was there really someone lurking in the shadows, or was it all the power of suggestion?Then, we’re traveling to Delhi in 2001, where residents claimed they were being terrorized by the Monkey Man, a bizarre creature that leapt through the night, scratched at its victims, and caused full-on chaos in the city. Was it a cryptid? Or another case where fear itself became the true monster?Have you ever fallen down a mass hysteria rabbit hole? Or do you think there really was something in Halifax and Delhi? I’d love to hear your thoughts, so leave a review or drop a comment with your theories!
