The Tales We Tell
A podcast about spooky stories, unsolved mysteries, and local lore. Join Hannah, Katy, and Jarek as they mask anxiety with humor, and explore the dark, macabre, and downright creepy side of life, with a different story each week.
The Tales We Tell
Ep. 216: George R. Kelly
Get ready for a new drinking game! Play along with Katy as Hannah tells her the story of George Barnes (aka: George Kelly) and the spectacular, if not poorly planned, kidnapping he pulled off during America’s Gangster Era. And see if you can figure out which infamous figure we’re talking about before Katy does (no cheating!) From smooth talking bank robbers, to fumbled kidnappings (with IOU’s), to an unnecessarily complicated ransom-exchange plan, the girls cover it all, and go through a whole bottle of wine.
So pour your own drink of choice, sit back, and join us for this indulgence in Hannah’s 1930’s fixation
