Send us Fan MailEpisode 89 continues Spooky Season.  It kicks off with potentially the OG of true crime tales in Colonial America.  Bathsheba Spooner was young, rich, and beautiful.  However, she was also married to a much older man she didn't love.  To rectify the situation Bathsheba concocted what was likely the first murder-for-hire plan in America.  How did the plan go?We go way Back In the Day to reminisce about what it was like to celebrate Halloween as a child of the 1980s.  From the first costume choices to the candies we loved, and hated.  Trick or Treating has changed since then, but the previous generation can always take a trip down memory lane.There is a brief detour from the horror side of Halloween.  This is the true story of the funniest speeding ticket I ever received.  The ticket itself is hardly funny, but the story behind it has grown into legend.  What happens when a Massachusetts vehicle gets pulled over in North Carolina?There are some television shows that leave indelible legacies in entertainment history.  This weeks Top 5 is not any of those shows.  This Top 5 looks at the worst of the worst, the fastest canceled shows ever.  It even includes shows that never made it to air. Do you remember any of these?There is also a brand new This Week In History focusing on the origins of Oktoberfest. As well as a new Time Capsule that celebrates the birthday of my niece Emma!Helpful Links from this Episode(available through Buzzsprout)Purchase Iconic Hotels and Motels of Cape CodBuy Me A Coffee!Wear Your WishKiwi's Kustoms - EtsyDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenChristopher Setterlund's YouTube ChannelChristopher Setterlund.comThe In My Footsteps Podcast BlogSearching for the Lady of the DunesListen to Episode 88 here.Support the show
