On January 15, 1947, a mother walking with her child in a vacant Los Angeles lot stumbled upon a sight so horrific it would forever change the landscape of American true crime. Elizabeth Short, a 22-year-old aspiring actress, had been murdered with a level of precision that suggested a professional hand—and a twisted mind.

In this deep dive, we peel back the layers of the "Black Dahlia" myth. Who was the real Elizabeth Short before the tabloids turned her into a noir caricature? We explore the terrifying forensic details, the taunting letters sent to the press, and the primary suspects—from the enigmatic Dr. George Hodel to the elusive Leslie Dillon.

In February 1959, nine experienced hikers ventured into the remote Ural Mountains of the Soviet Union and never returned. Weeks later, search teams discovered their abandoned campsite on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl—their tent mysteriously cut open from the inside, their belongings left behind, and footprints leading barefoot into the freezing darkness. What followed was one of the strangest investigations in modern history. Bodies were discovered scattered across the snow, some with severe internal injuries and others missing parts of their faces, yet there were no clear signs of struggle. In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the enduring mystery of the Dyatlov Pass incident, exploring the expedition itself, the disturbing discoveries made by investigators, and the many theories that attempt to explain what happened that night. From natural disasters and secret military experiments to the unsettling possibility that the truth may simply never be known, this is the story of a mountain that still refuses to give answers.

Through leaked reports, hidden transcripts, and chilling testimonies, Torrid guides listeners into the Foundation’s most classified archives: the rituals of the Children of the Scarlet King, the mystery of SCP-231’s seven brides, and the crumbling locks of SCP-2317. Along the way, we confront a terrifying paradox — that the very act of containment may be feeding the monster it seeks to bind.

Is the Scarlet King a god, a virus of ideas, or the inevitable death of our reality? And what happens when the final lock breaks?

Step carefully into the dark. Some truths were never meant to be spoken.

In this episode we explore the chilling Navajo legend of the yee naaldlooshii, the shapeshifter said to walk on all fours and wield dark magic. We delve into real-life encounters, ancient beliefs, and the cultural boundaries that make the Skinwalker one of the most feared—and least understood—figures in Native American folklore. But beware… Some say speaking of them too often invites them.

Report card day reveals that his grades are not any better than an average kid, but what sets him apart? Observing the kid Aleph turned out more insightful than one would expect and it gave us the answer we were looking for initially. He doesn't care about his future and only likes to play games. Some people already see him as the weird kid but if one were to spend time with him it would change their thoughts.

Slowly molding someone the way you want them to be can be sometimes easy and sometimes very hard, but once done the road is very easy from then on and the up-taking is easier as well.

Aleph has turned into a more normal and humane kid after consultation and a lot of indirect therapy.
