Ep. 45 Huggin Molly and Charles Stuart

In this week's episode, Sandra talks about the legend called "Huggin Molly." This legend takes place in Abbeville Alabama. Legend has it that Huggin Molly roams the streets looking for young children to hug. Once she hugs them, she screams in their ears. Today there is actually a local restaurant called Huggin Molly named in her honor. Later, Danielles covers the complicated case of Charles Stuart. We venture back in time to Boston in 1989. A prosperous young couple, Charles and Carol Stuart are on their way home having just left a birthing class at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Minutes later Charles is on the phone with an emergency dispatcher because he and his wife were just robbed and shot from their car. This story of full of twists and turns and ultimately led to the city of Boston re-thinking its approach to handling crimes.  Sandra's Sources: https://www.al.com/entertainment/2017/02/the_witch_legend_behind_huggin.html https://aminoapps.com/c/urban-legends-cryptids/page/item/huggin-molly/3Kno_PwsDI0xGEK80BgnlrozB3Eo8LknwG https://www.countryliving.com/life/g3793/scary-ghost-stories/ https://www.hugginmollys.com/legend https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/alabama/huggin-mollys-al/ https://twitter.com/bryanbanksphd/status/1278536956704698368 Danielle's Sources: https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2014/10/22/the-charles-stuart-murders-and-the-racist-branding-boston-just-cant-seem-to-shake/ “The Yuppie Murder.” The 1980s: The Deadliest Decade, season 1, episode 1, 14 Nov. 2016.
