What this episode covers

In this chilling episode of Murder Before Myths, we explore two tales that blur the line between brutal reality and eerie folklore.🧼 First, we uncover the twisted true crime of Leonarda Cianciulli, the infamous Soap-Maker of Correggio. A mother obsessed with fate, human sacrifice, and dark rituals, she lured victims to their doom—melting their remains into soap and teacakes. But was she a cold-blooded killer, or driven by something darker than madness?🕯️ Then, we head to the frozen reaches of Iceland, where folklore tells of The Nameless Shadow — a faceless entity that steals your shadow when you harbor guilt. Those marked by it fade from mirrors, from memory… and from existence itself.Two disturbing stories. One grounded in murder. The other whispered through myth.You decide which one keeps you up at night.
