  • 81: Mississippi Civil Rights Murders
    May 8 2025
    In this episode, Gayle discusses the chilling 1964 murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in Mississippi. What began as a search for justice turned into a symbol of hatred, cover-ups, and the long-term resilience of the civil rights movement. We unravel the timeline, the conspiracy, and the legacy left behind of these brave men against a cruel world.

    Mar 31 2025
    Lloyd Avery II was a good kid from a good neighborhood with a good family. One day he got cast in a very famous movie by his friend and this role totally changed his life, so much so he became the real life Knucklehead #2. Consumed by the streets of South Central LA and the allure of gang life, this is just the beginning of Jailbird's story, catch Part 2 for the rest!

  • 78: United States of WTF!... Part 2
    Mar 24 2025
    Here we go again with two more wild stories from two states. First, we head to Arizona for the story of Slaughter House Canyon, the creepy legend that started back in the 1800's and has continued to live on. Then, to Alabama to hear the history of Maple Hill Cemetery and "The Dead Chilldren's Playground." This part of the episode is all based in fact which I think makes it all the more interesting as well a little bone chilling. Please DM us on Instagram or email us your personal ghost stories we would LOVE to hear them!

  • 77: The Dakota
    Mar 17 2025
    This apartment complex is as oppulent as it is eerie. It is situated in Manhattan's Upper West Side, with a view of Central Park, and has had famous residents such as John Lennon, Judy Garland, and Rosemary Clooney. If you're lucky enough to get a tour of the building, we hope you don't see the "creepy ghost"... but if you do, please do report back! And don't be one of those a**holes that creep on the residents, people!

  • 76: Escape from Alcatraz
    Mar 9 2025
    So this one is really interesting. Daphne gives us an update on the infamous Alcatraz Escape from June of 1962. Pretty cool that there is new information about this escape by Frank Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin. Who would have thought that after all these years there could be any more to report... but there is! It's funny how when you look for one thing it can lead you into something you never knew about. The joy of podcast research. We love it, that's why we're here!

  • 75: Ed Gein AKA The Butcher of Plainfield
    Mar 3 2025
    I didn't know too many details about this one. Of course I'd heard about it like everyone else. When you dig into the facts it's about as crazy as you'd think... maybe even a little bit more. Some of the information is downright disturbing. Hope you enjoy.

  • 74: Bloody Mary... not the delicious beverage
    Feb 23 2025
    In this one we travel back back in time and try to unravel the the mystery of the creepy slumber party "game" Bloody Mary. After a lot of research and deligent searching I was really not sold on the answer or at least what I found as to the actual inspiration for the "game". What I did find though was very interesting and of course disturbing.
