  • King Tut’s Curse: How Fear, Death, and the Media Created a Legend (1922–1929)
    Jan 15 2026

    What if uncovering history came with a deadly price?

    In this episode, Robin and Chris dive deep into the legend of King Tutankhamun’s curse, tracing the story from the discovery of his nearly intact tomb in 1922 to the global frenzy that peaked by 1929. This is not a simple tale of mummies and magic. It is a story of grief, fear, media sensationalism, and human psychology that transformed a series of coincidences into one of the most enduring curses in modern culture.

  • William H. Mumler: The Man Who Claimed to Photograph the Dead
    Jan 8 2026

    In this episode, Robin and Chris take a deep dive into the eerie and complicated story of William H. Mumler, the nineteenth century photographer who claimed his camera could reveal the spirits of the dead. Long before Photoshop, filters, or even widespread understanding of how cameras worked, Mumler’s images stunned a grieving nation and sparked one of the earliest debates about photographic truth, belief, and exploitation.

    Set against the backdrop of post Civil War America, this episode explores why Mumler’s work did not just fool people. It comforted them. At a time when nearly every family had lost someone, the promise of seeing a loved one again, even faintly, was powerful beyond words.
