This week we're looking at the creepy story of schoolteacher Emilie Sagee who, while teaching in a school in what is now Latvia in the mid-19th century, became the centre of a terrifying ghost story. Seemingly able to be in two different places at once, stories of Emilie soon spread around the school, ultimately culminating in two of her being seen in the same place at the same time...

But what really happened?

And is the story even true?

Hosted by Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner Mystery on the Rocks is a high concept comedy and true crime/unexplained phenomena podcast set in a fictional mystery-solving bar with real cocktails!. The focus of the show is to attempt to crack a real, unsolved mystery from history – true crime and bizarre occurrences, all with a whodunnit or WTF happened question hanging over them. The format's malleable though and occasionally we deep-dive into a One Hit Wonder or play a game we invented called VHGuess...
