#125 The Real Beauty & Beast

#125 The Real Beauty & Beast

Author: True Crime Guys March 13, 2023 Duration: 21:16
It's a tale as old as time…a captive beauty, intelligent, quiet, and selfless, inevitably falling for the ugly, cruel, and usually cursed beast that serves as her jailer. The numerous interpretations can be traced back to ancient China’s serpent beast, and the classical Greeks, Persephone and Hades. Italy’s version has a “pig king”. Most of these fairytales end, with the beauty falling for her capture and confessing her love as he is about to die, and the couple live happily ever after. But for “Petrus” Gonsalvus the story of beauty and the beast was not a fantasy depicting a “happily ever after" ending in a far off land. No, for Petrus the story was no fairytale for he was a real life beast.   Hear more SandU Here:Patreon.com/sandupodcast EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   Sources: https://historycollection.com/the-real-beauty-and-the-beast-didnt-live-happily-ever-after/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/beauty-and-the-beast-original-fairy-tales_n_58c1d5e4e4b054a0ea694eb5 https://youtu.be/inM7P7oYM5Q https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_and_Psyche https://husheduphistory.com/post/176770957141/noble-beast-the-stardom-and-sadness-of-petrus

The shadows hold more than just darkness; they contain stories that defy easy answers. Strange & Unexplained, from the team at True Crime Guys, ventures into that ambiguous space where conventional narratives fall apart. This isn't just a catalog of facts, but a thoughtful exploration of the human mysteries that linger long after the headlines fade. Each episode picks up a different thread-a disappearance that left no logical trail, a cold case with a bizarre twist, or an event that simply shouldn't be possible according to everything we think we know. The approach is self-aware, acknowledging the complexity of delving into real-life mysteries without resorting to sensationalism. You'll hear a deep dive into the details that make these cases so compelling and so frustrating, focusing on the unresolved questions that haunt families and investigators alike. It’s for anyone who finds themselves pondering the gaps in an official report or wondering about the fate of someone who vanished into thin air. By listening to this podcast, you become part of a conversation about the limits of evidence and the enduring pull of the unknown, all grounded in the true crime tradition of seeking truth, however elusive it may be.
