Episode 103. Whistling Superstition and The Kidnapping of Denise Huskins

Oy with the Terror Podcast

In this week's episode, Sandra talks about the superstition of whistling. Although many people today enjoy the act of whistling, in many cultures it is seen as both negative. For instance, in the UK there is a superstitious belief in the "seven whistlers" which are seven mysterious birds or spirits who call out to foretell death. In Native American cultures the act of whistling was believed to have supernatural powers such as to summon spirits or to invoke protection from evil forces.

Then, Danielle covers the Kidnapping of Denise Huskins. Denise Huskins' kidnapping was recently discussed in a recent episode of Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy as well as American Nightmare on Netflix. Denise's kidnapping was a unique one not only because she lived to tell her story, but due to the significant public backlash she received. Compared to the novel and film Gone Girl, Denise and her boyfriend, Aaron were accused of fabricating the entire ordeal. But, sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
