In 1994, a young woman named Allison Botha was abducted, brutally attacked and left for dead in the South African wilderness. Her injuries were catastrophic and by every definition, she should not have survived.

But she did.

This is a story of unimaginable violence- but more than that, it's a story of sheer willpower and the human instinct to live.

Listener discretion is advised- this episode contains disturbing details.

In this episode we explore one of the most harrowing (and inspiring) survival stories ever told. In 1978, 15 year old Mary Vincent was hitchhiking in California when she was picked up by a man who would forever change her life. What followed was an act of unimaginable violence/

Mary's story is not just one of survival but of extraordinary resilience, courage and the unbreakable will of the human spirit.

Ever messed with a Ouija board at a sleepover and immediately regretted your life choices? In this episode of 2 Gals Who Coffee, we sip our coffee and summon the spooky as we dive into the world of Ouija boards- the rules, why people swear they work (or don't work) and whether you are actually talking to spirits...or just your friend Karen pushing the planchette.

Grab your coffee, light a candle and join us for a cozy chat about one of the most infamous tools in the paranormal world. Just don't try this at home ;)

In today's episode, we explore the disturbing true story of Amarjeet Sada, the 8 year old boy who shocked the world and earned a chilling place in criminal history as one of the youngest serial killers ever recorded.

But how does a child commit unthinkable acts? What does psychology tell us about the origins of violent behavior at such a young age? How did society, law enforcement, and the legal system respond when confronted with a killer who is a child? Buckle in coffee crew!!

Today, we are travelling back to a time when justice was brutal, mercy was rare and pain was considered proof of truth. Medieval punishment wasn't just about control- it was about fear. So grab your coffee...and brace yourself! This is the dark side of the Middle Ages!

Happy Friday!

Unfortunately when we got together a few weeks ago to record, something happened to our audio unbeknownst to us and we had to cut A LOT of it out in order to piece an episode together :( We apologize for the distorted audio and you may notice that at times it jumps around. We are working on rectifying the issue so it doesn't happen again :)

Mel & Christine!

On Christmas Eve, 1945, a quiet West Virginia town was shaken by a house fire that left investigators with more questions than answers. In this episode we unravel the baffling case of the Sodder family; the strange events leading up to the fire, the missing remains that raised questions, and the decades long search for answers led by parents who refused to believe their five children perished that night.

Were the children truly lost in the flames or did something more sinister happen?
