The Body Beneath The Gas Station

The Body Beneath The Gas Station

Sometimes history hides its secrets in the strangest places… like the bottom of a forgotten well. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro uncover the chilling real-life mystery of the Woman in the Well—a century-old murder discovered when construction workers in Saskatoon accidentally unearthed human remains buried in a barrel deep beneath the earth. Using modern DNA technology and genetic genealogy, investigators finally revealed the victim's identity after more than 100 years, connecting a name to a long-lost story. Then the conversation turns to one of the strangest forms of human spectacle: the bizarre history of people being buried alive as endurance stunts, from carnival-era “human moles” to modern performers testing the limits of the human body. It’s a journey through bizarre history, unsolved mysteries, and the unsettling lengths people go for fame, faith, or curiosity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
