Episode 87: The Murder of Missy Bevers

Thu, 07 May 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Before dawn on April 18, 2016, fitness instructor Missy Bevers arrived at Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas, ready to lead her early‑morning boot camp. Within an hour, she would be found brutally murdered—her killer already vanished into the darkness.

Surveillance footage revealed the now‑infamous figure: a person dressed head‑to‑toe in SWAT‑style tactical gear, wandering the church’s halls with chilling calm, smashing windows, opening doors, and waiting. Their identity remains one of the most haunting mysteries in modern true crime.

In this episode, we break down the timeline, the bizarre behavior caught on camera, the tangled web of theories—from targeted attack to staged burglary—and the unanswered questions that still keep investigators and armchair sleuths awake at night. Was the killer someone Missy knew? A stranger with a grudge? Or a phantom who slipped in and out with military precision?

Join us as we walk the echoing hallways, sift through the clues, and explore why this case continues to grip the true‑crime world a decade later.

Episode 86: Unit 731

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT

In this chilling episode, we confront one of the darkest chapters of World War II: Unit 731, the Imperial Japanese Army’s secret biological and chemical warfare program. Operating from 1933 to 1945 in the occupied region of Manchukuo, the facility—led by General Shirō Ishii—conducted large‑scale human experimentation under the guise of public health research. Prisoners, including Chinese civilians, Russians, Koreans, and even children, were subjected to vivisection, organ removal, frostbite testing, deliberate infection with deadly diseases, and chemical exposure, all without anesthesia.

We trace how the unit grew from a covert military initiative into a sprawling complex in Pingfang, Harbin, staffed by thousands and supported at the highest levels of the Japanese command. Its experiments killed thousands inside the facility, while biological weapons developed there are estimated to have caused 200,000–500,000 deaths across Chinese cities and villages through contaminated water, food, and land.

The episode also explores the disturbing aftermath: despite the scale of the atrocities, many of Unit 731’s key personnel—including Ishii—escaped prosecution. In exchange for their research data, the United States granted immunity to several members, while the Japanese government denied the unit’s existence for decades. Only in the 1980s and 2000s did formal acknowledgments begin to emerge, raising enduring ethical questions about wartime science, accountability, and historical memory.

This is not just a recounting of horrors—it’s an examination of how secrecy, nationalism, and scientific ambition converged to create one of history’s most brutal programs, and why its legacy still matters today.

Episode 85: The K-Pop Industry

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT

This episode unpacks the full arc of the K‑pop phenomenon — beginning with its groundbreaking roots in 1992, when Seo Taiji and Boys blended Western genres with Korean lyrics and challenged censorship norms, sparking what would become a cultural revolution. Their success laid the foundation for the idol‑training system and the rise of first‑generation groups like H.O.T., S.E.S., Shinhwa, and BoA, who helped launch the Korean Wave across Asia.

From there, we trace how entertainment companies built the modern idol system: rigorous multi‑year training, global auditions, and polished performance standards that shaped K‑pop into a global export. We also explore how government support and digital platforms amplified the industry’s reach, turning K‑pop into both a cultural force and an economic engine for South Korea.

Finally, the episode examines the reforms now emerging within the industry — including shorter trainee periods, increased scrutiny of management practices, and growing conversations around artist well‑being. These shifts signal a new era for idols and fans alike, as K‑pop evolves beyond its early structures toward a more sustainable future.

Episode 84: Delvonte Tisdale

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we unravel the heartbreaking and bewildering case of 16‑year‑old Delvonte Tisdale, whose body was discovered on a quiet street in Milton, Massachusetts in November 2010. What first appeared to be a brutal homicide quickly shifted into a mystery “straight out of a movie".

MICROBREW: The Soham Murders

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we revisit one of the UK’s most haunting criminal cases—the Soham murders—and the man at its center, Ian Huntley. Through a careful, compassionate retelling, we explore how Huntley embedded himself in a small community, the warning signs that were overlooked, and the devastating impact of his actions on two families and an entire nation. We also examine the systemic failures that allowed him to evade scrutiny for so long, and how the case reshaped safeguarding policies across the UK. This is a story about trust betrayed, lives forever changed, and the urgent need to understand how predators hide in plain sight.

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT

In November 2019, 26‑year‑old Marshal Iwaasa vanished from Southern Alberta, leaving behind a case marked by a remote forensic discovery and years of unanswered questions. This episode explores Marshal’s life, his disappearance, and the broader issues of investigative gaps and men’s mental health—without speculation or conclusions.

MICROBREW: The Mysterious Disappearance & Death of the Jamison Family

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT

In October 2009, the Jamison family—Bobby, Sherilynn, and their six‑year‑old daughter Madyson—set out on a drive into the remote mountains of Oklahoma. They were searching for a fresh start, a quiet plot of land, and maybe a new beginning. Instead, they vanished without a trace.

Their truck was discovered days later, abandoned on a lonely dirt road. Inside were their wallets, phones, GPS, coats, and even their family dog—alive but starving. What wasn’t inside were answers.

For years, theories swirled: a failed land deal, a spiritual crisis, a family dispute, drug involvement, cult activity, or something far stranger. When the family’s remains were finally found in 2013, deep in the woods near where the truck had been left, the mystery only deepened. No cause of death. No signs of what happened in those final hours. Just more questions.

In this episode, we unravel the haunting timeline of the Jamisons’ final days, explore the bizarre clues they left behind, and examine the theories that have kept investigators and armchair sleuths baffled for more than a decade. Was this a tragic accident, a crime, or something no one has yet imagined?

Episode 82: UNSOLVED: Michelle Von Emster

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

A young woman’s body washes ashore in San Diego in 1994, her injuries so severe that authorities initially blame a great white shark. But as forensic details emerge—broken bones, sand deep in her organs, and wounds that don’t match typical shark patterns—the story of Michelle Von Emster becomes far more unsettling. Experts and investigators clash over whether she fell from the nearby cliffs, encountered someone with violent intent, or met her end during a late night impromptu swim. This episode dives into the contradictions, the unanswered questions, and the eerie sense that Michelle’s final night holds secrets the ocean never fully returned.

MICROBREW: The Devil's Hole

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 23:54:03 GMT

In the blistering Amargosa Desert of Nevada lies Devils Hole, a narrow limestone fissure dropping into a scalding, sapphire pool that descends into unmapped darkness. Scientists know it as the fragile home of the critically endangered Devils Hole pupfish, but locals remember it for something far more haunting.

On a June night in 1965, four teenage boys from Las Vegas slipped past the fencing to explore the forbidden cavern. Drawn by rumors of an underwater world that “goes straight down like a pipe, then opens into a room… like infinity,” they dove into the hot, oxygen‑poor water. Only two made it back to the surface. A massive search followed, led by expert diver Jim Houtz, who descended more than 300 feet into the twisting chambers, but the missing boys were never found. Their disappearance remains one of the desert’s most unsettling mysteries

This episode unravels the strange duality of Devils Hole: a scientific treasure that reacts to distant earthquakes and shelters a species found nowhere else on Earth, and a place where human curiosity collided with unforgiving geology. We trace the boys’ final known moments, the desperate rescue attempts, and the chilling reality of a cavern system so deep and complex that even today, its full extent is unknown

Episode 81: The Lords of Chaos

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 13:57:33 GMT

The Lords of Chaos were a group of Florida teenagers whose obsession with rebellion, vandalism, and shock value spiraled into real violence in 1996. What began as petty destruction—smashing windows, stealing road signs, and setting small fires—quickly escalated as the group sought notoriety and a sense of power. Their crimes culminated in the murder of Mark Schwebes, a popular high‑school band director, after he confronted them about vandalizing the school. The killing shattered the illusion that the group’s actions were harmless mischief, exposing instead a volatile mix of alienation, thrill‑seeking, and performative cruelty. The case became a chilling example of how quickly teenage bravado can mutate into deadly violence, leaving a community stunned and forever changed.

MICOBREW: The Curious Case of Kenneth Parks

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 10:00:00 GMT

When 23‑year‑old Kenneth Parks drove across Toronto in the early hours of May 24, 1987, he wasn’t conscious—or so he claimed. By sunrise, his mother‑in‑law was dead, his father‑in‑law gravely injured, and Parks himself was standing in a police station, confused and covered in blood. What followed became one of Canada’s most controversial courtroom battles: could a man commit murder while sleepwalking?

Episode 80: Imbolc - Groundhogs, Goddesses, and the First Hint of Spring

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:06:44 GMT

As winter loosens its grip, we explore two traditions that mark the turning of the season: the ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc and the quirky North American ritual of Groundhog Day. From Brigid’s sacred flames to shadow‑seeking marmots, we trace how different cultures have tried to predict—summon, even—the first stirrings of spring. This episode blends folklore, history, and a touch of whimsy as we look at why humans have always searched for signs of returning light, and what these midwinter rituals reveal about hope, renewal, and the promise of warmer days ahead.

MICROBREW: The Tragedy of Lacey Fletcher

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we examine one of the most haunting and heartbreaking cases of neglect in recent memory—the death of 36‑year‑old Lacey Fletcher. Found in conditions almost beyond comprehension, Lacey’s story forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about isolation, responsibility, and the systems meant to protect vulnerable people. We trace Lacey’s life from a quiet childhood in rural Louisiana to the years of seclusion that ultimately ended in tragedy.

This isn’t just a story about a crime—it’s a story about silence, stigma, and the devastating consequences of looking away. With care and compassion, we piece together the timeline, the investigation, and the charges that followed, while honoring Lacey as more than the circumstances of her death. Her case is a stark reminder of the importance of community, vigilance, and humanity.

Episode 79: Theresa Allore

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

A quiet college town in Quebec, a missing teenager, and a family who refused to let her memory fade—this episode unravels the haunting case of Theresa Allore, a 19‑year‑old student whose disappearance and death in 1978 became one of Canada’s most troubling unsolved mysteries.

Follow Theresa’s final weeks at Champlain College in Lennoxville, where she vanished under circumstances that never quite added up. When her body was discovered months later in a remote area, authorities quickly labeled the death a tragic accident. But her family—especially her brother, John Allore—saw too many inconsistencies, too many unanswered questions, and far too little investigative effort.

The episode traces John’s decades‑long fight to uncover the truth, from poring over forgotten police files to connecting Theresa’s case with a disturbing pattern of violence against young women in the Eastern Townships. His relentless search for justice helped spark broader conversations about cold cases, victim advocacy, and systemic failures in how missing persons investigations were handled.

This episode explores not only what happened to Theresa, but how her family’s determination reshaped the way Canada confronts unsolved crimes. It’s a story of loss, persistence, and the enduring power of refusing to look away.

MICROBREW: The Whisky War for Hans Island

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we dive into the delightfully strange and surprisingly heartwarming tale of the Whisky War, a 50‑year territorial dispute between Canada and Denmark over the tiny, uninhabited Hans Island. What began in the 1970s as an unresolved boundary question slowly evolved into a tongue‑in‑cheek ritual: each country’s military would visit the island, remove the other’s flag, raise their own, and leave behind a bottle of national liquor—Canadian whiskey or Danish schnapps—as a cheeky calling card.

The MICROBREW blends history, humor, and geopolitics—showing how a barren rock in the Arctic became a symbol of cooperation, cultural pride, and the kind of international conflict everyone wishes there were more of!

Episode 78: Something is Afoot on the Salish Sea...

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Since 2007, a chilling mystery has unfolded along the shores of the Salish Sea: dozens of human feet, still in sneakers, have washed ashore without explanation. In this episode, we dive deep into the phenomenon that has baffled locals and sparked global intrigue. Are these grisly discoveries the result of foul play, natural decomposition, or something even stranger? We’ll explore the science behind why feet detach, the role of ocean currents, and the theories investigators have considered. Join us as we unravel the facts, dispel myths, and examine what these severed feet reveal about the sea—and about us.

MICROBREW: The Belmont House in Lincoln New Brunswick

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Perched along the banks of the Saint John River in Lincoln, New Brunswick, Belmont House stands as one of the region’s most intriguing landmarks—a stately neoclassical home built around 1820 for Judge John Murray Bliss, son of a Loyalist settler. Later, it became closely tied to Robert Duncan Wilmot, a Father of Confederation and Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, who lived there intermittently until his death in 1891.

But beyond its political pedigree and architectural grandeur, Belmont House carries a second, darker legacy—one whispered through generations of locals. In this episode, we explore the folklore that claims the house once sheltered British troops, complete with basement holding cells, cannon rooms overlooking the river, and even a tunnel leading down to the shoreline. Residents have reported eerie voices, reappearing stains, shadowy figures in parlours, and footsteps on staircases long after the living have gone to bed.

Blending documented history with lived experiences, this episode traces Belmont House’s evolution from Loyalist estate to political landmark to one of New Brunswick’s most quietly haunted homes.

Episode 77: Canada's Youngest Serial Killer, Cody Legebokoff

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 10:00:00 GMT

In the rugged landscapes of northern British Columbia, Cody Legebokoff seemed like the all-Canadian boy next door—popular, athletic, and raised in a tight-knit community. But behind this wholesome façade lurked one of Canada’s youngest convicted serial killers. Between 2009 and 2010, Legebokoff brutally murdered four victims: Jill Stacey Stuchenko, a mother of six; Cynthia Frances Maas, a resilient woman fighting her own battles; Natasha Lynn Montgomery, a young mother whose body has never been found; and Loren Dawn Leslie, a legally blind 15-year-old lured to her death. The episode traces the chilling unraveling of Legebokoff’s crimes, beginning with a routine traffic stop on a snowy November night in 2010. What started as suspicion of poaching quickly escalated into the discovery of Loren Leslie’s body and a trail of forensic evidence linking Legebokoff to three other murders. His trial in 2014 shocked the nation, exposing his lies and earning him four life sentences with no parole for 25 years. Ultimately, this episode is not just about a killer—it’s about the resilience of families, the vigilance of law enforcement, and the reminder that evil can hide in plain sight.

MICROBREW: Audrey Trudeau, Calgary Alberta

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 10:00:00 GMT

In February 1999, Calgary physiotherapist Audrey Trudeau vanished without a trace. Known for her kindness and generosity, Audrey had opened her home to a friend and coworker, Deborah Point, who was struggling financially. What began as an act of compassion ended in horror. Five months later, Audrey’s dismembered remains were discovered stuffed into cardboard boxes in a southwest Calgary garage. She had been stabbed 15 times in the back of her head with an axe-like weapon.

MICROBREW: Teresita Basa and the Voice from the Grave

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 10:00:00 GMT

What do you get when you mix a hospital, a murder, and a ghost with a flair for dramatic timing? This week, we’re diving into the spine-tingling, eyebrow-raising, and oddly heartwarming case of Teresita Basa—Chicago’s most talkative ghost.

In 1977, Teresita was found murdered in her apartment. The case went cold... until she allegedly returned from beyond the grave with a hot tip for detectives. Through a coworker’s dreams (or possessions—depends who you ask), Teresita named her killer, detailed the crime, and even pointed to the missing loot. Spoiler: it was exactly where she said it would be.

Join us as we unravel this paranormal whodunit with a wink and a smirk. Was it a ghostly confession or just a very elaborate psychic performance? Either way, it’s one heck of a story—and we promise, no Ouija boards were harmed in the making of this episode.

👻 Murder, mystery, and a medium with a message—this one’s got it all

Episode 75: A.C Tucker Peach and the Okotoks Murder of 1909

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Step aside, polite prairie tales — this episode digs into one of Alberta’s earliest and eeriest murders, where the only thing colder than the Okotoks wind was the blood on the ground.

In 1909, A.C. Tucker Peach met a fate that was anything but peachy. Found dead near Okotoks, in the High River, his murder sparked a scandal that rattled the hay out of everyone’s pitchforks. Cooked up by a self-proclaimed criminal mastermind and his less-than-sharp sidekick, this murder was driven by greed and executed with all the finesse of a barnyard heist. The pair figured no one would miss a quiet, penny-pinching farmer like A.C. Tucker Peach — especially one who kept to himself. But what they didn’t count on was his one peculiar habit… a habit so routine, its sudden absence lit up the suspicion faster than a lantern in a hayloft.

MICROBREW: Brenda Spencer Does NOT Like Mondays...

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:19:00 GMT

In 1979, a 16-year-old girl opened fire on a San Diego elementary school from her home across the street, killing two adults and injuring eight children and a police officer. When asked why, Brenda Spencer chillingly replied, “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day.”

Episode 74: The Chaos of Woodstock '99

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 09:00:00 GMT

What was meant to be a tribute to peace, love, and music turned into a weekend of fire, fury, and full-blown anarchy. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the scorched earth of Woodstock '99 — the festival that promised a revival of the iconic 1969 spirit but delivered something far darker.

With temperatures soaring, tempers flaring, and corporate greed clashing with youthful rebellion, the stage was set for disaster. We’ll unpack the explosive performances, the mounting tensions, and the shocking descent into riots, looting, and literal flames. From overpriced water to overflowing porta-potties, and a lineup that stoked the crowd’s rage, this wasn’t just a failed festival — it was a cultural cautionary tale.

MICROBREW: The Ammons Family Haunting

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 09:00:00 GMT

When Latoya Ammons and her three children moved into a modest rental home in Gary, Indiana, they expected a fresh start. What they got instead was a descent into a nightmare that would grip the nation. In this chilling episode, we unravel the infamous 2011 case that blended demonic possession, child welfare investigations, and police reports into one of the most documented hauntings in U.S. history.

From swarms of flies in winter to children levitating and walking up walls—witnesses included social workers, nurses, and even a skeptical police captain. We’ll explore the eerie events that led to an exorcism sanctioned by the Catholic Church and a media frenzy that left skeptics and believers alike stunned.

Join us as we peel back the layers of this modern-day horror story: Was it a genuine case of demonic infestation, or a tragic intersection of belief, trauma, and sensationalism?

Episode 73: Pipe Dreams & Nightmares: The Adam Strong Case

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 11:49:15 GMT

In this episode, we plunge into one of Ontario’s most disturbing true crime cases... When a clogged drain in an Oshawa apartment turned out to be more than just a hairball horror, police found themselves knee-deep in something far darker than a backed-up toilet. Meaghan will snake through the timeline of events, from the suspicious call to the landlord to the grim discoveries that followed. Along the way, we’ll explore how the Adam Strong's twisted double life unraveled, and how a routine plumbing job cracked open a case that had haunted the community for years. When your crimes start leaking into the sewer system, it’s only a matter of time before the truth bubbles to the surface....

In this episode, we tiptoe through one of the strangest and most unsettling chapters in funeral home history: the bizarre case of the Return to Nature Funeral Home and the crimes of Jon and Carie Hallford. What started as a green burial business with a wholesome name took a dark turn—think less “eco-friendly” and more “FBI investigation.” We’ll explore how a couple with big promises and questionable bookkeeping ended up at the center of a national scandal involving hundreds of improperly stored bodies, bewildered families, and a whole lot of legal trouble. It’s a tale of trust betrayed, regulations ignored, and a community left reeling. 🪦 Join us for a story that’s equal parts tragic, bizarre, and unforgettable.

Episode 71: Dumbbells and Disaster

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 09:00:00 GMT

What happens when a bunch of Miami bodybuilders decide they’re too swole for the 9-to-5 grind? Apparently, they skip leg day and go straight to felony. In this episode, we dive into the protein-packed, crime-riddled chaos of the Sun Gym Gang—a crew of gym rats who thought kidnapping, extortion, and murder sounded like a solid business plan. Led by Daniel Lugo, a man with more ambition than brains, and Adrian Doorbal, who could bench press a Buick but couldn’t spell “alibi,” this gang’s criminal spree was so outrageous it eventually became a Hollywood movie: Pain & Gain. Spoiler alert—Michael Bay made it look like a comedy, but the real story is more “WTF” than “LOL.” We’ll unpack the botched plans, the bizarre disguises, and the moments that make you wonder how these guys ever managed to tie their own shoelaces, let alone pull off a kidnapping. It’s a tale of muscles, money, and monumental stupidity—and yes, it’s all horrifyingly true.

MICROBREW: Screen to Scream: When Horror Imitates Life--and Vice Versa

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 09:00:00 GMT

In this chilling Microbrew, we dive into the twisted loop where fiction and reality collide—examining two haunting cases that blur the line between cinematic horror and true crime. First, we unravel the disturbing murder of Marilyn DePue, whose killer’s macabre actions and getaway eerily mirror scenes later immortalized in the cult horror film Jeepers Creepers. Then, we flip the script to explore the brutal murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart, where two of her classmates had crafted a chilling plan inspired by the slasher movie Scream. They wanted to become real-life killers, mimicking the masked murderers from the film they idolized. From a blood-stained van on a lonely highway to a masked fantasy turned deadly, this episode explores how horror films can reflect real darkness—and sometimes, awaken it. Are these stories cautionary tales, or proof that the line between screen and psyche is thinner than we think?

MICROBREW (from the VAULT): Black Friday - The Edmonton Tornado of 1987

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 09:00:00 GMT

It's hard to believe that today, July 31 2025, marks 38 years since the devastating Edmonton tornado on July 31, 1987—often remembered as “Black Friday.” That day, a powerful F4 tornado tore through the city’s southeast, leaving a trail of destruction and heartbreak. It claimed 27 lives and injured hundreds more, becoming one of Canada’s deadliest and costliest natural disasters.

Since then, it’s stood as a sobering reminder of nature’s force, but also of the resilience and solidarity of Albertans. Each year around this time, many still pause to reflect, remember, and honor those affected.

Episode 70: The Astroworld Tragedy

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:00:00 GMT

On November 5, 2021, Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival, named after Houston's beloved defunct theme park, turned into a nightmare. This episode explores the event's tragic unraveling, from the park's nostalgic past to Scott's "rage" concert culture, known for its chaotic energy and a history of crowd-related incidents. We detail the fateful day: early gate breaches and overwhelming crowds signaled trouble long before Scott took the stage. As the densely packed audience surged, a deadly crush ensued, leading to 10 deaths from compressive asphyxiation. Despite desperate pleas and visible distress, the concert continued for over 30 minutes. We examine the critical failures in planning, communication, and emergency response, including disputed reports to Scott's earpiece. The aftermath saw numerous lawsuits, but no criminal indictments, leaving a lasting debate about accountability and the urgent need for safety reforms in live music.

Episode 69: The Brothers Home

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 09:00:00 GMT

In this gripping episode, we peel back the curtain on one of South Korea’s most controversial and haunting institutions: the Brothers Home orphanage. Once considered a haven for orphans and runaways in the 1970s and '80s, the truth that later emerged tells a chilling story of abuse, exploitation, and systemic cover-up.

Through survivor testimonies, investigative reports, and historical analysis, we unravel how thousands of children—alongside adults labeled as vagrants—were forcibly detained under government-sanctioned sweeps. What truly went on inside those walls, and how did a place meant for care become a symbol of cruelty?

💡 We also explore the role of media, past and present—how fake news and misinformation both obscured and, in some cases, protected the institution’s operations. And how today, digital narratives can either bury the truth… or help bring justice.

This episode is not just a story of a single orphanage—it's about the power of truth, the danger of silence, and the fight to preserve memory in the age of misinformation.

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 09:00:00 GMT

In June 1997, the quiet community of Salado, Texas, was gripped by a perplexing mystery: the disappearance of Lela and Raymond Howard.

Episode 65: Ka-Ki-Si-Kutchin (Swift Runner)

Thu, 22 May 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Swift Runner was a Cree hunter from Alberta who, during the brutal winter of 1878-79, committed an act of cannibalism, killing and consuming his wife and five children. He later claimed he had been possessed by the Wendigo—a supernatural entity in Algonquian folklore believed to drive people to madness and cannibalism. The Wendigo is said to embody insatiable hunger, preying on those who succumb to desperation, particularly in times of famine.

Anthropologists have linked Swift Runner’s case to Wendigo psychosis, a cultural phenomenon in which individuals experience an intense fear of turning into a Wendigo, sometimes leading them to commit acts of cannibalism. This condition has been documented among Indigenous groups in Canada, often emerging in extreme survival situations.

The case also reflects the impact of early colonialism on Indigenous cultures. By the late 19th century, European expansion had disrupted traditional ways of life, leading to food shortages, forced assimilation, and the erosion of spiritual beliefs. The Cree people, like many other Indigenous groups, faced immense hardship due to the loss of their land and resources. Some scholars argue that the psychological distress caused by colonial oppression may have contributed to cases like Swift Runner’s, where Indigenous individuals struggled with identity, survival, and cultural displacement.

Swift Runner was arrested, tried, and executed by hanging at Fort Saskatchewan in December 1879, marking one of the most infamous cases associated with Wendigo lore, psychosis, and the broader consequences of colonialism.

Bonus: The Powerful Silence of the Red Dress

Mon, 05 May 2025 09:00:00 GMT

May 5 is the National Day of awareness and remembrance for the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people (MMIWG2S), also known as "Red Dress Day," coined by Métis artist Jaime Black as "an aesthetic response to this critical national issue." The ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people that we are facing is a direct result of colonization. In Canada, more than six in ten (63%) Indigenous women have experienced physical or sexual assault in their lifetime. The impact of these disproportionately high rates of violence is felt in all areas of life. The effects on health and wellness include inequitable access and treatment in health care and underrepresentation in health research. On Red Dress Day, and every day, we honor the lives and legacies of MMIWG2S by listening to their stories and commemorating their strength and spirits. We stand in solidarity with the families and communities who continue in the pursuit of justice, healing, and change. To raise awareness and pay tribute on this day, wear red, inform yourself about MMIWG2S, and participate in your local community events to commemorate this day.

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 15:12:03 GMT

This week we are sharing some PATREON content! Come join us for even more like this one at www.patreon.com/homebremc, $3/month!

Meaghan tells us the case of the missing Beaumont children. It is one of Australia's most infamous unsolved mysteries. On January 26, 1966, siblings Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont disappeared from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, South Australia. The children were last seen in the company of a tall, fair-haired man, but despite extensive searches and investigations, neither the children nor the suspect were ever found. As of very recently, authorities have approved excavation on a specific area in hopes to recover answers.

SPECIAL: Bones in a Box

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 10:00:00 GMT

**Please forgive our technical difficulties once again! Better quality is coming next week!**

Kristy delves into a story of a chilling discovery, a secret unearthed on All Hallows' Eve. A forgotten relic of a bygone war, a rusty old footlocker dating back to the 1930’s, held a macabre treasure within its aged walls. Not gold, not jewels, but something far more disturbing. Bones that whispered of a life lost, a mystery shrouded in time, and a chilling reminder that some secrets refuse to stay buried.
