History’s Mysteries
History’s Mysteries - Coincidences and True Crimes (show clip from premiere)
A game of musical chairs—Soviet style! In this segment, Lorrisa investigates Stalin’s last days as he lies sprawled on the floor of his hunting lodge. Was he poisoned by his besties? Oswego Public Library had a great turnout for this premiere of History’s Mysteries.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
From the origins of forest superstitions to the mystery volcano that indirectly killed much of Europe’s population, you’ll be stunned by the stories you never learned in school—How did the plotted “murder” of Poland contribute to America winning its War of Independence? Was Stalin murdered by his closest buddies? And did John Wilkes Booth escape justice and wind up as a mummy in a traveling carnival? Some mysteries have been solved, while others may never be.
