The Box of Oddities Live Show. Learn More Here! The Cursed Life of Moll Dyer & the Tooth Fairy’s Bizarre Backstory In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the ghostly tale of Moll Dyer, the colonial-era outcast whose fiery legend scorched its way into Maryland folklore—and possibly left a permanent spiritual stain on a local boulder. Is her restless spirit still wandering the woods, or just really into dramatic exits? Then: we sink our teeth into the surprisingly twisted history of the Tooth Fairy—from Viking warriors hoarding baby teeth for luck to 20th-century parents bribing children like tiny, enamel-based mob bosses. Spoiler: There’s a weird amount of rodent worship involved. Two stories. One box. Zero dental plans.
