Jane Bigelow: “The Bigelow Terror”

from Criminalia Hosted by Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts

Jane Bigelow (1829-1889) goes down in history as a socialite who once stalked the great English writer Charles Dickens. As the “Oliver Twist” author toured the U.S. in the late 1860s, Jane displayed obsessive efforts that went far beyond the actions of other screaming fans. From threatening individuals who got close to Dickens, to even assaulting an elderly widow, spectators all agreed that Jane was quite the “incubus” - er, “succubus.” Executive Producers: Maria Trimarchi and Holly Frey Producer & Editor: Casby Bias Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
