The Strange Doctors

9. Pittsburgh Lobster Boy and the Terrifying B.E.K.

The Strange Doctors Season 1 Episode 9

In this week's episode, Missy tells the tale of a claw-handed horrifying man with a tragic life story. If that isn't uncomfortable enough, Katie tops it off with a story that gets an A+ in the heebie jeebies. Lock your doors and keep the lights on for this one, folks.

The stories presented today are based on true cases (or recollections of cases). This podcast is for entertainment purposes only, nothing should be construed as medical advice.
