We're back for Season Six! And as tradition dictates, the first episode of each season is a Leah Takeover Episode! And this episode will not disappoint if you are into serial killers, blood, gore, lost hopes, and dead dreams. Welcome!

This week on Hashtag History, Leah takes a deep dive into the story of Elizabeth Bathory, the blood countess, and her unfortunate victims. She follows this story up with deep dives into multiple other female serial killers from the early modern period, a category of History you may be shocked to hear...is not small.

We also open up the episode to discussion in an attempt separate fact from fiction, what is true and what has been sensationalized, and why female serial killers are so fascinating!
