History is full of strange traditions, bizarre beliefs, and people making some truly spectacular decisions. In this episode of Something Wicked, we're diving into the wonderfully unhinged side of the past, from medieval animal trials and Victorian safety coffins to ghost photography, dead kittens getting married, and ancient Egyptian mummies becoming public entertainment. It's creepy, ridiculous, historically fascinating, and proof that humanity has been completely off its rocker for centuries. Grab some popcorn, embrace the madness, and let's git it!

Grave robbing was such a problem in the 19th century that locks, guards, and iron cages weren't always enough - so some people decided to fight back... with explosives. In this short and delightfully morbid episode, we're diving into the bizarre history of coffin torpedoes, resurrection men, and the ingenious ways grieving families tried to make sure their dearly departed stayed exactly where they put them. Because sometimes, even the dead get the last laugh.

What happens when a human skull decides it lives with you now? This week, we travel through England’s bizarre folklore of “screaming skulls”—human remains said to bring storms, strange noises, bad luck, and outright chaos whenever someone tries to remove them from the homes they’ve claimed as their own. From Theophilus Brome and Bettiscombe Manor to Wardley Hall, Burton Agnes, Calgarth, and the wonderfully unhinged legend of Dickie, we separate documented history from centuries of supernatural storytelling and ask why these skulls were kept in English homes in the first place. The lesson? If the creepy old skull has been sitting peacefully in the house for 300 years, don’t be the asshole who decides to move it.
