They say that each of us has a doppelganger somewhere in the world. Someone who looks just like us... maybe acts just like us... or maybe, is us.

Do you believe in doppelgangers? Do you believe in the idea of bilocation?

These people from history certainly do. Learn about how various dignitaries, politicians, and artists from history and their run-ins with their very own doppelgangers.

Find out what Halloween was like during the Great Depression. 1929 to 1939 was a tough decade for folks throughout the United States. Halloween offered a chance to come together and help children have an enjoyable evening with their friends. It also served as a time for older kids to rebel and cut loose, causing the night before Halloween to be named 'Mischief Night', and eventually 'Devil's Night'.

So how did people celebrate and what legends spawned from that era that are still discussed today?

I have created a new podcast section for YouTube and Curator135.com called "Down the Wiki Rabbit Hole" where I look up a search term on Wikimedia Commons. From there I find a photo related to the search term and then research the photo to find as much information as possible.

The search term for this episode was "Crime Scene".

In the 1940s someone was killing women and children in Chicago. The police were feeling the heat as lead after lead fell through. When they encountered a young burglar, arrested for the third time, they decided he was their man. Did he do it? Maybe... but there was no doubt in the police or the public's eyes that 17-year-old William Heirens was guilty. He spent 65 years in prison and died there for crimes he says he didn't commit.
