Phreaky Phrogging Pt. 2 – Ep. 47
Summary of Episode
The co-hosts return to The Escape Pod this week to wrap up a two-part series on “phrogging,” when a person occupies a home without the homeowner’s or renter’s knowledge or permission. (It’s a criminal act that lands pretty high on the creep-o-meter, if you ask us!) Part 2 takes us back to the mid-1980s, when a teen phrogger terrorized families in Massachusetts.
SIDE NOTE: Why does phrogger start with a “ph”? A quick internet search offers a few explanations, a prevalent one being that the “p” is taken from the word “person”, as in a person who engages in phrogging, jumping from place to place so as not to get caught.
BE ADVISED: This episode contains violence and other content listeners might find extremely disturbing.
