Deadly Encounter: The Killing of Betty Gore

The human brain is an exquisitely complex organ, and it’s capable
of some pretty bizarre stuff. Take couvade’s syndrome, otherwise
known as sympathetic pregnancy—where a non-pregnant partner is so
in tune with their pregnant one that they start showing signs of
pregnancy themselves: morning sickness, weight gain, mood swings. I
can relate to this—whenever my husband has a kidney stone, I always
feel pain in exactly the same place. Then there’s the whole wide
world of wild stuff that can happen to people when they come out of
comas. People can wake up with totally different accents than they
had before. People have been known to wake up speaking foreign
languages that they never actually learned. My point is, our minds
are amazing, and they’re not always on our team. There’s a lot we
still don’t understand about them, and sometimes they can sabotage
us pretty spectacularly. Are you wondering why I’m telling you
this? Well, you’re about to hear one of the oddest true crime
stories you’ll ever hear, and it raises some fascinating questions
about the capabilities of the human mind.
