Not too much is known about Margaret Schilling. She was the kind of person whose memory might have been lost to time had she not left behind an indelible reminder of her. 

AI Summary

Josh and Chuck dive into the mysterious case of Margaret Schilling, a patient at Ohio's Athens Lunatic Asylum who went missing in December 1978 and was found dead six weeks later in a locked room. The episode explores the eerie aftermath of her death - a permanent stain on the concrete floor in the exact outline of her body that couldn't be scrubbed away despite multiple cleaning attempts. The hosts discuss the history of the beautiful but haunting Kirkbride-style mental hospital, the circumstances surrounding Margaret's disappearance, and the scientific explanation behind why her ghostly silhouette became permanently etched into the floor.
