This story by the slice sends us back to revisit the Vikings and explore their culture before diving deep into the horrific torture known as the Blood Eagle. This episode is extremely graphic, so listener discretion is strongly advised, as Ashley provides a detailed description of how this brutal torture was supposedly carried out. Our episode ends with a quest for truth: Was the Blood Eagle a real practice or merely propaganda?
