BONUS EPISODE | The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (with Ian from Necronomipod)

In a special, bonus episode, we had the honor of having Ian from Necronomipod on the podcast to discuss the St. Valentine's Day Massacre! On February 14, 1929, Chicago's North Side Gang (well known to be a rival of infamous Mob Boss, Al Capone) was gunned down in a garage in Chicago, Illinois. Although Capone has been linked to the incident and many believe him to be directly responsible for the murders, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre technically remains unsolved to this day.

Join Rachel, Leah, and Ian as we discuss Al Capone and the rise of gangs during Prohibition, the rivalry between Capone and George "Bugs" Moran, the massacre itself and how it changed History forever, the downfall of Capone, and where things stand now (which may or may not involve some paranormal activity!).
