 Who knew the history behind sugar could be so dark? This week, Mary takes a step off the beaten path and debunks the “video evidence” of the Rake, a monster invented by creepypasta and apparently spotted in Gaspésie, Québec. Shelley shares with us the dark history of the Redpath family, the sugar moguls that have supplied Canada with sugar since 1854. Trigger warnings include: murder-suicide, gun violence, mental health discussion, and details of gun wounds.
