AMERICAN POISONERS
PRESENTED BY TROY TAYLOR
America has a rich, dark history of notorious poisoners and infamous homicide cases, and on this chilling night, Troy Taylor presents a dark history of malevolent murders that have left a mark on our criminal past. From little-known tales like the “Chicago Wizard” to the “Constant Widow” Tillie Klimek, you’ll discover horrific stories like those of Jane Toppan, Lyda Southard — the so-called “Lady Bluebeard” — the “Giggling Granny” Nannie Doss, Amy Archer-Gilligan, Bertha Gifford, and more!
Discover how the twists and turns of America’s strangest poisoning cases are more terrifying than anything you’ll find in the pages of fiction and how many of these murders have left lingering ghosts behind!
