16. Hans Schmidt + The Phoenix Theater

In this episode, we just can't stop talking about horses for some reason! We are talking about horse surgeons, the Etsy dark web, a brief history on the electric chair, and Maria's first concert! We welcome our guest host Anna who brings us the true crime story of Hans Schmidt, a corrupt Bavarian priest; and Maria covers the hauntings of The Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, California, a building that has literally risen from the ashes and collected a few spirits in its long history. Let's get spooky!
