  • Episode 12: “Three Legends, One Nightmare: Myrtles, Wookey Hole, & the Jersey Devil”
    Mar 24 2026

    Welcome back to the show where we explore history’s worst decisions… so you don’t have to.

    This week, we’re taking a haunted road trip that absolutely should’ve stayed canceled:

    🏚️ The Myrtles Plantation (Louisiana)

    Often dubbed one of America’s most haunted homes, The Myrtles Plantation is packed with ghost stories, tragic legends, and at least one mirror you should not make eye contact with. Murders? Maybe. Ghost children? Allegedly. Questionable vibes? Guaranteed.

    🧙‍♀️ The Witch of Wookey Hole (England)

    Deep inside Wookey Hole Caves lies the tale of a woman turned to stone—because medieval conflict resolution was…not great. Is she really a witch? Is that just a rock? Either way, she’s got better posture than most of us.

    👹 The Jersey Devil (New Jersey Pine Barrens)

    America’s favorite winged menace, the Jersey Devil has been terrorizing the Pine Barrens for centuries. Hooves, wings, screams in the night—basically if a bat, goat, and bad decision had a baby.

    Listener Discretion:

    Contains ghost stories, historical violence, and at least one entity that absolutely would scream outside your window at 3am.

  • Episode 11: “The Mob, the Mystery Lady, and the Ghost Who Solved a Murder”
    Mar 13 2026

    Show Notes:

    In this episode, we dive into three chilling and mysterious stories where history, crime, and the unexplained collide.

    First, we examine the mystery of the Babushka Lady, the unidentified woman seen calmly filming during the chaos of the Assassination of John F. Kennedy. Who was she, and what did she capture that the public has never seen?

    Next, we travel to West Virginia for the eerie tale of the Greenbrier Ghost—one of the only known cases where a ghost’s testimony allegedly helped solve a murder. Did the spirit of a young woman really return to reveal the truth about her death?

    Finally, we head to 1920s Chicago to revisit the infamous Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre, a brutal mob hit that became one of the most notorious crimes of the Prohibition era. Rival gangs, machine guns, and a crime that cemented the dark legend of organized crime in America.

    Three stories. One episode.

    Mysteries caught on film, justice from beyond the grave, and gangland violence that shocked the nation.

    👻 Ghosts.

    🎥 Conspiracies.

    🔫 Mob history.

    Join us as we explore the strange truths—and lingering questions—behind these unforgettable stories.

  • Episode 10: A Cult Prophet, a Cryptid Cat, and the Most Possessed House in Indiana
    Mar 5 2026

    This week we’re diving into three stories that blur the line between folklore, cults, and straight-up nightmare fuel.

    First, we head to the islands of British Columbia to talk about Brother Twelve, the mysterious cult leader who convinced followers he was a divine messenger. His spiritual colony quickly spiraled into accusations of manipulation, hidden wealth, and dark occult practices before the entire operation collapsed in chaos.

    Next, we explore Appalachian folklore and the legend of the Wampus Cat—a terrifying creature said to stalk the woods at night. With glowing eyes, supernatural speed, and stories dating back generations, the Wampus Cat is one of the strangest and creepiest cryptids in American legend.

    Finally, we investigate one of the most disturbing haunting cases in recent history: the Ammons Demon House. Reports included levitating children, unexplained voices, and multiple witnesses—from doctors to police officers—claiming they saw things they couldn’t explain.

    From cult leaders to cryptid legends to a house allegedly filled with demons, this episode asks the question:

    What happens when belief, fear, and the unexplained collide?
