Billy done effed up and so did we! We recorded this together, but Stef's audio didn't save. That pretty much sums up our week. So, here's Melissa telling you the story of William aka Billy Gohl, aka the Ghoul of Gray's Harbor in a way that makes her sound like she's maniacally talking to herself and again, that pretty much checks out! Billy Ghoul, I mean Gohl, moved to Aberdeen, Washington in the early 1900's and quickly became a powerful force of the Sailor's Union on Gray's Harbor. When bodies began floating up in the harbor, sometimes even five at a time, Billy was often the man they went to for help in identifying the poor murdered sailors! This went on for years until one officer, George Dean, realized that there may be a reason why Billy was able to identify the men so quickly. Could he have been using his power and influence to callously rob and murder innocent men before dumping them in the harbor?! Spoiler alert...yes. It's believed that Billy was responsible for the deaths of at least 41 men who were pulled from the harbor in the early 1900's but, many believe the number could actually be over one hundred.
The trailer in today's episode is for the podcast, Death Before Boos. Join Sam and Jenn as they tell tales of true crime, the paranormal and supernatural, and everything in between! We love that!
Also, not feature in this episode but, we did try Aldi's Dragonfruit Imperial Hard Seltzer. The consensus is, at 9% ABV, this stuff is strong, but it's good. Would recommend, with caution!
