Ep. 60: Belle Gunness

What do you do after both your husbands and a couple of kids "accidentally" die and you find yourself left with a bunch of insurance money and a 48-acre farm? Hit the personal ads of course! This week, Hannah tells Katy about Belle Gunness, a Norwegian gal who came to the states in 1881 to chase the American Dream, and found herself with more suitors than she knew what to do with and a whole lot of land that was good for digging. Pour the drinks, update your Tinder profile, and get ready for the story of the Indiana Ogress, Lady Bluebeard, the Black Widow, Hell's Belle, and the Mistress of Castle Death (aka: Belle Gunness).Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/belle-gunnesshttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/562322/belle-gunness-murdershttps://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2008-02-12-0802120038-story.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Gunnesshttps://www.historynet.com/belle-gunness-poisonous-pen.htmhttps://laportelibrary.org/at-the-library/explore-local/belle-gunness/Support the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!
