The Surprising History of Halloween w/ Jack Mandaville | SME 009

It’s Halloween week on Subject Matter Expert, featuring the host of Jacked History, Jack Mandaville! In this episode we dive into dark and curious corners of history: animals on trial at the Salem witch trials, the real origins of trick-or-treating, the legend of the Headless Horseman, whether San Antonio’s Menger Hotel earns its “most haunted” rep, and the true stories behind a few truly grim figures: Vlad the Impaler, Elizabeth Báthory, and Carl Panzram. We also run a rapid-fire “Wrong Answers Only” round for laughs and get Jack’s hottest history take (you’ll probably be offended). Jack Mandaville is a writer, producer, Marine Corps combat veteran, and the host of Jacked History, a fast-growing YouTube channel where he unpacks strange, hilarious, and interesting stories from the past with a dose of sarcasm and comedy.
