10. (Sort of) Off Topic: Bridget Cleary, the Fairy Wife

Trigger Warnings for murder and domestic violence.

In 1895, Bridget Cleary was a happily married, fashionably dressed, well-respected woman in rural Ireland. She made extra money for her family by working as a seamstress and delivering eggs, and she loved fairy stories. And then one day, Bridget found herself living in one of those stories. But unlike a fairytale, in real life the stakes are much, much more dire.

Today, Janey is going to tell Max (and Alex!) the harrowing tale of the real-life murder of Bridget Cleary, whose husband became convinced she as a changeling.
