Adds are awful, destroys the show
I’m revisiting this podcast after the recent rerelease. It’s remains an Engaging and informative podcast. Abigail is such a brave young woman and the interview with her is wonderful. Thank you for presenting this story with such care.
I highly recommend listening to American Nightmares. Megan and Jack do a great job helping to understand what happened and providing in depth information.
The first season about the Mansion murders was good enough. For this Second Look season it sounds like the producers are desperate to squeeze out any remaining life out of their original content. It mostly sounds like all the content from the previous season. Any new content is not compelling at all. I mean seriously, she is going to visit the new house built on the original property to see if she feels any “heaviness”?
