In this week's episode, Zoey finally fulfills a promise they made in May of 2021, Episode 8. In that episode, they covered the first serial killers in the United States, the Harpe Brothers. The brothers occasionally worked closely with the Mason Gang and it's leader, Samuel Mason. Zoey promised back then that she'd cover Samuel Mason one day, and that one day has come.

Samuel Mason was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War and the self-proclaimed bravest fighter in the war. After his war career, he failed as a farmer, so he took up the next best thing: river piracy. After a few failed starts, he found his home in Cave-In-Rock where he would grift travelers then rob them, occasionally killing them in the process.

But before we can get to Samuel, Robin brings us her Something Spooky, a poem by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle named Night Voices.
