Episode 217: Trina’s Gettysburg Ghost Souvenir And The Matthew Nolan Oppenheimer Case

This week on Another Fucking Horror Podcast, Monique and Amy are giving you a haunted honeymoon, a fake Oppenheimer and two stories where the central lesson is honestly pretty simple: stop running your mouth around forces you do not understand.First, Monique covers Trina’s Gettysburg ghost story, which starts with a honeymoon ghost tour and quickly becomes the most egregious case of “fuck around and find out” out this podcast has ever covered. Trina mocked the experience, wandered into a field connected to Civil War soldiers who had drowned after the Battle of Gettysburg, and joked about taking a ghost home as a souvenir. What happened next was a water-based horror movie that’ll make you perk right up. Then Amy covers the case of Matthew Nolan, Christopher Nolan’s older brother, whose story went viral online as the “fugitive hitman brother named Oppenheimer” rumor. The reality is more complicated, but still absolutely fucking wild. Matthew allegedly used the alias Matthew Oppenheimer while posing as an heir to the Oppenheimer diamond fortune, got tied to a Costa Rica scheme involving missing money and became connected to the kidnapping and murder of American accountant Robert Cohen.We’re talking fake passports, Interpol red notice, a daughter begging authorities to help her father. And there is, somehow, still no real justice for Robert Cohen.This episode comes with the very clear reminder to respect the dead, research viral claims and maybe don’t invite anything home unless it’s for a friendly coffee.
