In this episode, Cody and Chris put you in a deep trance and talk about hypnosis (content warning: these stories involve murder and suicide). First, Cody talks about an insane case in Copenhagen where one man hypnotized another into robbing a bank and committing murder. Then, Chris tells the unfortunate story of three students who mysteriously died following hypnosis sessions with their principal. Next, Cody shares a bizarre story in which a lady has full gastric bypass surgery…via hypnosis. Finally, Chris discusses the murder of Augustin Gouffé and the resulting case where the murderer used hypnosis as a defense. Creep of the Week comes from friend of the Podcast, Lern. Drinks this week are Tart Cherry Spritz and Blood Orange Cider.
