EP16: April 13, 1900 - Mayor McCheese is Just As Believable
Episode notes
This Monday on Ghosts of the Gazette: we’re haunting you with stories from April 13, 1900! Kendra takes you to Detroit, Michigan, inside a quiet bicycle shop outside of the historic and forgotten Capitol Theatre… where the murder of John Reindel unfolds, and a young suspect leaves more questions than answers with a lot at steak… Blake brings you to Paris, France, tracing the rise of the powerful Rothschild family—and how their legacy of wealth and influence collided with a little-known and shocking duel.
Every other Monday, we dig into fascinating stories from the past — all originally reported on the exact same date (though many years ago) as the episode airs. It’s history, headlines, and a touch of mystery, all rolled into your new favourite podcast.
