Author: Diana Doty

Besides co-hosting the funniest first-hand ghost story podcast ever, Diana enjoys learning new languages, reading about science, eating adventurously, and travelling uncomfortably. She hosts soirees where she dazzles guests with exotic fruits, trashy goth music from the 90's, and filthy-yet-intellectual party games. Although she has 2 advanced degrees, she works hard to be the opposite of bougie: she lives in a van down by the river (occasionally), shops at thrift stores (mostly), and eats bugs (somewhat intentionally). She thinks the world could be much improved by eliminating single-use plastics and squirrels. Having inherited both a logical skepticism from her Vulcan mathematician father and a willingness to believe anything from her fairy energy healer mother, Diana doesn't know exactly what she believes about ghosts, and is ok with that.

The Promise of a Testicle

The background of this antique, sepia-toned photograph shows the rainy, puddled area below a dark steel Chicago viaduct. A mobster in a trench coat and fedora who is holding a newspaper speaks with a bespectacled doctor in a long white lab coat who is carrying a leather medical bag. The older white men's eyes are locked, their serious expressions suggesting that a shady business transaction hangs in the balance. An unconscious younger white man dressed in modest clothing lies passed-out in the doorway of a nearby brick building. A boxy early automobile with skinny tires waits on the pocked cobblestone beneath the viaduct. The fabricated historical scene lends dark, dramatic flair to our unusual true crime story about a very brief rash of stolen testicles that terrified Chicagoans in the so-called gland larceny spate from 1922-1923. This alt text is dedicated to my new friend Brooke!
