The History of the Grim Reaper

Happy Halloween boos & ghouls! 👻 We are thrilled to throw on our costumes and rip the shiny wrapper off on our spooktacular October series, featuring deep dives on specific spooky topics related to the history of All Hallows' Eve! 🎃 In Part 1 of this month-long series, Lauren explores the grim history of the Grim Reaper, dating all the way back to the 14th century and even in Greek mythology! For being such a sinister icon of death as well as a classic Halloween figure, we were shocked at how little we actually knew about this scary and mysterious cloaked, scythe-wielding skeleton. Listen to find out yourself…if you dare! 💀 We hope you enjoy these hair-raising Halloween episodes in October! Stay tuned for more tricks & treats and in the meantime: reach out to us on Instagram at @sinistersisterspodcast if you have more topic ideas for us to cover! *
