About this episode

Introducing the NEW season of DEAD MEN DO TELL TALES, a special spin-off series of the American Hauntings Podcast! With each season of the series, we delve into a single story from the dark side of American history -- except this time.

In season 4, called DEPRAVED, we’ll actually be delving into two stories at the same time. One will be the true story of the Wisconsin monster, Ed Gein, and the other will be the story behind the making of a film based on his crimes, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE – which became its own special kind of hell.

You can get every episode of DEPRAVED by becoming a Patreon supporter of American Hauntings, so see the link below and check out the new season -- if you dare!
