    31: The Mudborn Mimic of Site 7 | True Crime Sleep Stories
    Aug 29 2025
    Dive into the chilling depths of the Midwest wilderness with this special supernatural episode. In "The Mudborn Mimic of Site 7," we spin a terrifying fictional tale that weaves together three haunting experiences at a cursed campground along the Waquokan River.

    From a lone camper terrorized by eerie whispers to a family besieged by a mud-wrought entity, this story is pure fiction but draws eerie inspiration from whispers of real-life mysteries and unexplained events in the region.

    While True Crime Sleep Stories is dedicated to 100% factual accounts, we’re thrilled to occasionally explore super creepy supernatural tales that blur the line between fact and fiction, perfect for sending shivers down your spine as you drift off.

    30: The Amana Axe Murders | True Crime Sleep Stories
    Aug 27 2025
    In this chilling episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we unravel the haunting mystery of the Amana Axe Murders, a brutal unsolved crime that shook the serene Amana Colonies of Iowa in 1980.

    Join us as we explore the lives of Rose Zita Burkert and Roger Eugene Atkison, a young couple whose romantic getaway turned into a nightmare of violence in room 260 of the Amana Holiday Inn.

    From the idyllic backdrop of a historic community to the gruesome crime scene marked by bizarre clues like smeared soap messages and scattered toothpaste, this case remains a perplexing enigma.

    Settle in as we delve into the investigation, suspects, and theories—could it be a jealous lover, a serial killer, or a transient predator?

    Dim the lights and let this true crime tale lull you into slumber, if you dare.
