Hello, fans of The Strange, Dark, and Mysterious. I'm here today to tell you all about what it actually means now that we've moved over to the SiriusXM family. Big picture, it means we are going to make more content for you. Right now, you get one YouTube video a week on Saturday. Well, what we're going to do now is we're going to have the Saturday upload be the same, but then also the Mr. Ballin podcast. Well, we've begun already filming those episodes like a YouTube video. So that's a second piece of content every week. Then there's two other shows that you guys don't even know about yet, which means on any given week, you could have up to four new video pieces of content on the Mr. Ballin channel.
And also, all these pieces of content will double as podcasts as well. This new content schedule is going to start early next year. Also, there's one other thing I want to clarify, which is the state of Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries and Redacted. Those shows were created in collaboration with Wondery, but now we're partnered with Sirius, and so we're not going to be making any new episodes of either of those shows. For now, if you want to hear my podcast episodes one week early and ad-free, make sure to subscribe to SiriusXM Podcast Plus on Apple Podcasts or visit SiriusXM.com slash podcast plus to listen with Spotify or another app of your choice. Keep on the lookout for more announcements in the coming weeks.
Thank you. In the early morning hours of September 21st, 2009, a man was asleep in his bed in New Orleans when suddenly he heard the sound of metal clinking in the dark corner of his room. And so he sat up. The man's heart raced as he stared around the room looking for where the sound came from. And then suddenly he saw it. There was a figure in his room standing right there, staring at him. And then the figure began to move towards him. And as it moved closer, the clinking sound he was hearing got louder. The man realized this person, this figure, was wrapped in all these heavy metal chains. And suddenly, the man understood. What he was seeing was a ghost. And this man knew exactly who had murdered them.
But before we get into that story, if you're a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right show because that's all we do. So if that's of interest to you, please take pictures of the Follow Button's brand new car and list it for sale online. Okay, let's get into today's story.
In the early afternoon on April 13th, 1985, 60-year-old Dorothy Thompson walked into a bank in St. Bernard, Louisiana. Her hip was really bothering her, so she was moving slowly, but at the same time, she was also trying extra hard not to limp or seem unsteady. She knew the people in her small town liked to gossip about her, and so she didn't want to give them anything new to talk about. But, as expected, despite her best efforts to conceal her slower, sort of limpy movement, when she got into the lobby, the handful of tellers and customers that were inside looked towards her, took stock of her, and began whispering. So the little town of St. Bernard was about five miles outside of New Orleans. And it was the kind of place where people were generally pretty friendly and everyone seemed to know everyone.
But this smallness made it pretty easy for rumors to spread. And most of those rumors in this town seemed to be about Dorothy. Dorothy did have to admit, though, that she had given people a lot to talk about. Dorothy, who had lived in this town for 39 years, was the owner of the town's pet cemetery. Now, this pet cemetery was actually a true business. Dorothy made her income from pet owners, you know, buying plots of land in the cemetery. But that wasn't really the thing that made, you know, Dorothy stand out as the centerpiece of gossip. It was the fact that she not only owned this pet cemetery, but she lived on the cemetery by herself. And considering the fact that the cemetery also had a rumor of being haunted, it just seemed like how could anybody do that?
