S05 Episode 12 Extra: La Mano Nera by Unexplained Podcast

 

It is thought that neighbours of the Evangelista family were reluctant to help the investigation into their murder, due to fear of reprisal from the culprit.  Or more pertinently, fear of reprisal from La Mano Nera, or the Black Hand, who many suspected was ultimately responsible for the murders.

But who were The Black Hand and were they even real at all?

S05 Episode 7 Extra: One Night by the Lake by Unexplained Podcast

 

Some have noted that the suave Count of St. Germaine, with his possible connection to Transylvania, shared similarities with Count Dracula. 

However, it wouldn’t be until one, turbulent night in the summer of 1816, that the notion of a vampire as a smooth and sophisticated operator, as opposed to the foul-smelling wretch it had previously been thought of, would first be conceived.

It was a night that has since gone down in horror history as the night that spawned not one, but two of the genres most affecting and enduring creations...

The idea of an object harbouring ghosts or some residue of those who have come into contact with it in the past is a common one found in most cultures throughout the world.
