Episode 102. The Unsolved Murders of Barry and Honey Sherman and Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois

Oy with the Terror Podcast

On December 15, 2017, Barry and Honey Sherman were discovered dead, hanging from the railing of their indoor pool. Initially, it was believed to be a murder-suicide, but the circumstances of the death scene raised many concerns for investigators. As the Toronto-based couple was well-known and affluent, many people had a motive to harm Barry. Furthermore, the injuries sustained by both Barry and Honey were unexplainable and pointed towards a murder scene rather than a suicide. Will the killer or killers ever get caught?

Then, Sandra talks about the Lincoln Park Zoo located in Chicago Illinois. The zoo opened in 1868 and the first two animal residents were two white swans that the zoo received from New York's Central Park. It turns out that the zoo was actually built on the site of what was formerly known as the Chicago City Cemetery. Due to it being built on a cemetery, the zoo has a few ghostly spirits that also look at the animals. These spirits include apparitions of people dressed in Victorian-styled clothing and there is one particular patron that is most commonly seen in the lion's exhibit.
