Sickening thoughts, murder on my mind, running out of time… Summer is finally here. The Summer Solstice is upon us and in today’s episode we are getting into the famous urban legend known as the Hook. Tune in as we regale you with the tale itself, before getting into variations of the legend and possible meanings/origins. We’ll also take a look at how the Hook became so popular and the real life lovers' lane murders that may have inspired the legend, known as the Moonlight Murders of Texarkana. All of this and much more in today’s episode!
