The Girl in the Dark & The Glow of the Dying

This Memorial Day, we revisit a haunting classic episode of The Box of Oddities featuring the chilling true story of Blanche Monnier and the mysterious Civil War phenomenon known as Angel Glow. What happens to the human mind and body after 24 years locked away in total darkness? In this haunting episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro uncover the disturbing true story of Blanche Monnier, a young French woman secretly imprisoned in a filthy attic room by her own family for nearly a quarter of a century. Then, the mystery deepens as they explore the bizarre Civil War phenomenon known as “Angel Glow,” where wounded soldiers reportedly emitted an eerie blue light from their injuries—and those same soldiers seemed far more likely to survive. From shocking true crime and psychological horror to unexplained medical mysteries and strange historical events, this episode dives deep into some of history’s darkest and most unbelievable stories. Perfect for fans of bizarre history, unsolved mysteries, weird science, and the macabre. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
