  • Summary

  • In today’s episode, we’ve teamed up with Scooby and Shaggy as we saddle up in the Mystery Mobile - complete with a flux capacitor - and head to the heart of Austin, TX, circa 1885. We’re on the hunt for the world’s very first serial killer - The Servant Girl Annihilator.

    It appears that the city’s residents of the time got this guy confused with Santa Claus, though… instead of leaving out cookies and milk, they opted for the family axe and a sandbag or two. Seems like door locks weren’t all the rage back then either.

    If you’ve ever wondered what all of those seemingly odd towers around Central Austin were for, tune in and get your history on!

    Let’s go, our fellow freaks!

    Hosted by Brad Martin and Jessica Poessiger

    Executive Produced and Mixed by RJ Freitag
