Margaret Clitherow, the Catholic martyr of York, was executed in 1586. She lived just streets away from where Guy Fawkes would grow up. Could her death have influenced his infamous plot?

Listen to Gunpowder and Treason: The Real Guy Fawkes on BBC Sounds now.

A Lyft ride home on Halloween night turned into a nightmare for a Homestead woman who has survived two strokes, police say #ONLYinDADE Police say her driver made sexual advances, exposed himself in her parking lot, then tried to force his way into her apartment. A neighbor’s Ring camera helped police make the case, and he was arrested Monday. Lyft says it removed him from the app for good. Homestead’s police chief has a tip for riders: when you get in, act like you’re on the phone with someone who’s tracking your GPS. He has not been convicted. Source: NBC 6
