For spooky October, Jeff tells the story of the Ed Gein, The Butcher of Plainfield. Gein is known for his gruesome crimes in the 1950s, which included the murder of two women and exhumation of corpses of local cemeteries.

Some of his disturbing practices include using human skin and body parts to create clothing and household items. Gein's crimes shocked and horrified the nation but they also inspired Norman Bates in the 1960 movie Psycho, Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Find out why Ed Gein is a notorious figure in American true crime history.

It's spooky season so it's getting dark.

This week Sam recounts the harrowing story of the Kurim case, a horrific child abuse scandal that emerged in the Czech Republic in 2007.
This gripping story unveiled a clandestine cult shrouded in manipulation and cruelty, as well as the shocking revelation of a 33-year-old woman who was ...hiding a secret.

The case first came to light in May 2007 when a man in Kurim inadvertently intercepted his neighbor's baby monitor signal. What he witnessed was nothing short of horrifying: unsettling images of a naked and bound young boy named Ondrej, imprisoned in a cupboard.
