Ep. 82 - The Mesmerists

Hypnotism is a controversial subject that has been around in one form or another since the time of the ancient Egyptians. Under hypnosis, a person becomes susceptible to suggestion. But just how far can you compel a person under hypnosis to go? For centuries, hypnosis has been tied to a number of murders and suspicious deaths. In this episode, we'll discuss some of these incidents, including one that may involve one of the most famous assassinations in American history.
