Staircases to Nowhere & The Lady Glamis

This week, it's spooky staircases in the woods and spookier castles in the Scottish countryside! First, Lauren explores the unexplained phenomena of "staircases in the woods" - like something out of an MC Escher piece, these mysterious isolated wooden or stone staircases have been found deep in numerous national parks & forests (and now across the world) with no signs of structures attached to them, seemingly leading nowhere…or do they?! Are they gateways to hell or other dimensions?! Are they pulpits for Satanic cult rituals?! What are they for?! Who is walking up them?! Take your own steps to find out...listen if you dare! Next, Felicia picks up from last week with Part 2 of Glamis Castle aka "The most haunted castle in Scotland." 300 years before the "Monster of Glamis" Thomas Lyon-Bowes, the Lady Glamis Janet Douglas Lyon was burned as a witch in 1537 at only 39-years-old after she was falsely accused of witchcraft and plotting to poison King James V. She was one of 2,000 Scots (mostly women) burned as a witches at Castlehill between 1479-1722, when Edinburgh was the witch-burning capital of Europe. These witch hunts targeted women, especially those with any kind of power or property and/or who challenged the patriarchy. Find out more about Scotland's own Salem Witch Trails this week!
