Join your host, Connor, the Paranormal Pixie, on a deep dive into the bizarre life of Maria Rasputin, one of history's coolest side characters!

We'll take a look at Rasputin, how Maria remembers him, as we learn how his fate led to her career with the circus, and how she ended up buried in Los Angeles in Angelus-Rosedale cemetery!
