This episode is sure to be a gas, Creep Street! This week, Maureen and Dylan discuss the story of a mad man who stalked the streets of a small midwestern American town in 1944. For a stretch of two weeks, the citizens of Mattoon, Illinois lived in terror of a masked mad man who was spraying lethal fumes into the homes of unsuspecting victims. But was this monster even a man at all? Always evading capture, the gassy maniac soon grew into a supernatural legend. Was an evil scientist on the loose, or was this a paranormal being from another dimension entirely? Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Mad Gasser!
