She claimed she could predict your death to the exact day — and somehow, she was always correct. But how did she know? EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkess.com/TillieKlimek READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8wt2ep FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Tillie Klimek had been convicted of only a single murder, but the authorities suspected that she had killed many more, including her three husbands. (Chicago’s Constant Widow) *** The batteries of numerous vehicles in a family’s driveway all go dead at the same time. Two at the same time might be a coincidence. Three would be suspicious. Four dead batteries – combined with the sighting of a shadow person and other bizarre experiences… that has got to be supernatural. (Dead Battery) *** The case had gone cold some say because of police corruption and a cover-up, but is heating up again now as a new sheriff discovers long-hidden evidence. We’ll look inside the Keddie Murders. (The Quadruple Homicide at Cabin 28) *** Extraterrestrials… and the government. It seems you can’t have one without the other.
