71: Persephone - Femme Fatales

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 06:15:00 GMT

Ahh, Persephone - goddess of springtime, and queen of the underworld. Hades abducts her, she eats some pomegranate seeds, and now she causes the seasons to change. Right? Wellllll…

There's a lot more going on beneath the surface (sorry, had to) than you might think. This week, we’re digging into the real Persephone myth, from where it might have actually started to modern takes that give her way more agency. Did Persephone have any say in what happened to her? Did she even want to become Queen of the Underworld? Plus, we discuss ‘ritual obscenity’, which is A) a real thing, and B) absolutely fantastic.

70: Lorena Bobbitt - Femme Fatales

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 06:15:00 GMT

What started as a whirlwind romance between Lorena Bobbitt and John Wayne Bobbitt quickly unraveled into one of the most infamous true crime cases of the 1990s. After years of alleged abuse behind closed doors, a shocking act in June 1993 catapulted the couple into a media frenzy that blurred the line between scandal and tragedy. As late-night jokes and sensational headlines dominated the story, the deeper issues of domestic violence and trauma were often overlooked. In this episode, we revisit the case that captivated the nation and the complicated truth behind the headlines of the Lorena Bobbitt trial👀

69.5: Mata Hari (Part II) - Femme Fatales

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:15:00 GMT

Over her decade-long dancing career, Mata Hari redefined what it meant to be an erotic performer. She danced for kings, escorted aristocrats, and basked in her hard-earned wealth. But with WWI quickly setting the world ablaze, she found herself stepping into a dangerous new role - as a spy.

In part 2 of our exploration into Mata Hari’s life and legacy, she’s courted by competing intelligence agencies, with each trying to turn her skills against the other. And with over 1,000,000 francs on the line, Mata Hari seizes her opportunity. But when a single intercepted telegram changes everything, she must reckon with a new type of challenge: when the same men who built her up decide to burn her down.

69: Mata Hari (Part I) - Femme Fatales

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 06:15:00 GMT

For decades, Mata Hari has been remembered as history’s most dangerously seductive spy - but the reality of her life tells a different story.

In part one of this two-part episode, we look at who Mata Hari actually was: a woman born into instability and loss who reinvented herself into a global sensation. As her rise to fame collided with a world sliding into war, Mata Hari’s beauty, autonomy, and visibility placed her in the crosshairs of a growing spy panic - setting the stage for how she would become known as the Original Sexy Spy™.

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:15:00 GMT

In the heart of the French Quarter stands the infamous LaLaurie Mansion: Elegant on the outside, with an unsettling history that has tainted its energy forever. Once home to socialite Delphine LaLaurie, the mansion became synonymous with cruelty behind all comprehension.

Nearly two centuries after its dark past, visitors still report shadow figures in the windows, disembodied screams, and the sound of chains echoing through empty halls.

67: Bourbon Orleans Hotel - New Orleans

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 06:15:00 GMT

In 1966, the Bourbon Orleans Hotel opened its doors - and since then, countless guests and staff have reported seeing spirits that dance, laugh, and even watch you while you sleep.

Long before it became a luxury stay in the French Quarter, the land hosted a renowned theatre, an opulent ballroom, and later a convent, school, and orphanage. Now, with centuries of history and emotion carved into its walls, the property is said to host as many as 17 ghosts, making it one of America’s most haunted hotels.

66: Marie Laveau - New Orleans

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 06:15:00 GMT

Marie Laveau is as synonymous with New Orleans as beignets and Mardi Gras. While she might be most identifiable as the mystical voodoo queen of NOLA, Marie's real life is just as important as her legend. Born a free woman of color in the early 1800s, LaVeau built influence through spiritual practice and community work, always looking out for those who needed it most.

In this episode, we're separating fact from folklore as we trace the rise of one of the most respected spiritual leaders in all of American history.

65: Casket Girls - New Orleans

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 06:15:00 GMT

In the 1700s, New Orleans was part of a struggling French colony desperate for new residents. So, naturally, they started importing women to help grow the population. But when 88 of these women arrived - deathly pale and carrying coffin-shaped luggage - it’s said they tore through New Orleans on a vampiric murder spree, leading the local nuns to imprison them in a convent attic…where some say they remain to this day.

Today, we’re exploring the legend of the Casket Girls and the real women who inspired it.

Correction: The Anne Rice novel Gina mentions is Interview with the Vampire, not Interview for a Vampire. Gina pleads not guilty by reason of slight inebriation.

64: The Chupacabra - Cryptids

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

It all started in Puerto Rico in the mid-90s. Livestock turned up drained of blood with vampiric puncture wounds that led to rumors of a beast so horrifying it has remained incomprehensible to this day. Was it an undiscovered species? An alien? Or something entirely explainable? Join us as we follow the trail to uncover how one creature became a modern monster legend 👀

63: The Enfield Horror - Cryptids

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 06:15:00 GMT

In 1973, reports surfaced of a strange creature prowling the woods of Enfield, Illinois. According to witnesses, it had three legs, tiny arms, huge eyes, and a knack for shrieking like a banshee (but who among us, right?). As sightings continued, residents found themselves embroiled in a desperate search for answers. Overrun by out-of-town “monster hunters” and sensationalist press, this story charts one small town’s rapid descent into full-blown panic.

Grab a scoop of something extra comforting, and settle in for a tale of mystery, paranoia, and of course, cryptids.

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 06:15:00 GMT

We’re travelling to the Northwoods of Wisconsin where the cheese is squeaky, the beer is cold and the scariest thing you could encounter in the woods is the infamous Hodag, a terrifying cryptid that haunted loggers for years. But where did the story of the Hodag originate? Was it really captured at the end of the 19th century? And what, for the love of God, does Paul Bunyan have anything to do with this?!

61: Mermaids - Cryptids

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 06:15:00 GMT

We’re kicking off 2026 with an age-old question: Are mermaids real, or what???

Today, we’re deep diving (pun intended) into the long, tangled history of mermaid folklore, sightings, and modern-day theories. We trace our favorite aquatic friends from the first “real” mermaid in 1000 BC, through famous sailor logs (including a new reason to hate Christopher Columbus), all the way to modern-day sightings. And that’s before we even get to the science part - like how little of the ocean we’ve actually explored, why modern technology wouldn’t spot mermaids, and where mermaids could be living at this very moment.

EPISODE CORRECTION: As of June 2025, 27.3% of the global seafloor had been mapped (not 20%).

60.5: Dear David (Part II) - Ghosts

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 06:15:00 GMT

We’re back with the rest of the story of Dear David, the infamous ghost boy who haunted cartoonist Adam Ellis back in 2017.

Adam Ellis first tweeted that his New York City apartment was being haunted by a little boy named Dear David in August of that year. What would follow is a string of tweet threads recounting all of his spooky experiences, getting progressively more unhinged as the months went on. Some people call it a hoax. Others say it’s the most compelling paranormal evidence ever caught. Whatever it is, it captured an entire corner of the internet when the world needed it most, ultimately becoming one of the most intriguing ghost stories ever told (real or otherwise)!

But where did the legend of the Flying Dutchman come from, and does it hold water? (Pun very much intended.)

Step into the eerie charm of Colorado’s Stanley Hotel, where history and hauntings go hand in hand (shout out to Stephen King!). In this episode, we explore the legendary Room 217, the lingering spirit of some very helpful housekeepers, and the phantom piano tunes that echo through the grand ballroom.

56: Mothman of Point Pleasant - Small Towns

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

In 1966, residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia claimed to see a tall, winged creature with red, glowing eyes. Thus, the legend of Mothman was born. Sightings continued for just over a year before a tragic accident, leading many people to believe the reason for the monstrous being’s presence was born out of a centuries-old curse that plagued the area.

Is Mothman the result of local paranoia about the curse, or is there really something lurking above the rooftops in Appalachia to warn us of tragedies to come?

55: The Circleville Letters - Small Towns

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 06:15:00 GMT

In the late 1970s, residents of Circleville, Ohio started receiving threatening letters from an anonymous source. The letters - which some say number in the thousands - contained deeply personal details accusing locals of everything from affairs to murder.

This week, we’re digging into a deeply unsettling story of surveillance, suspicion, and small-town grudges. The case led to an arrest, a trial, and a prison sentence - but no matter what police did, the letters kept on coming. To this day, people still ask: Did the police get it right? Or is the real writer still out there?

54: The Roff House - Small Towns

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 06:15:00 GMT

In 1877, 14-year-old Lurancy Vennum from Watseka, Illinois, began experiencing seizures, trances, and speaking in voices not her own. Spiritualists believed she was possessed by the spirit of Mary Roff, a local girl who had died twelve years earlier after similar episodes. The infamous case would go down in history as The Watseka Wonder.

Was it all a hoax to spread awareness for spiritualism, or was it really one of the first legitimate possessions in American history? Kathryn visited The Roff house, now a historic landmark and AirBNB, to see for herself👀

Special shout out to The Wisconsin Apparition Tracking Society (TWATS) for inviting us on a paranormal investigation at The Roff House earlier this year!

53: Stull, Kansas - Small Towns

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 06:15:00 GMT

Stull, Kansas might look like just another dot on the map, but according to decades of urban legend, it’s hiding something much darker: a gateway to hell. In this episode, we dig into the myths and rumors about the devil’s (alleged) favorite vacation spot. We’re talking witches, ghosts, a staircase to the underworld, and…Ariana Grande?

Is Stull really a gateway to hell? Or just a target of the modern rumor mill? We’ll let you decide.

52: Baba Yaga - Witches

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 06:15:00 GMT

We love a complex crone, especially when she’s the epitome of the witch of the woods. Baba Yaga lives deep in the Slavic forest in a hut that stands on chicken legs (yes, really), flies around in a mortar and pestle, and might help you… or eat you. It really just depends on her mood. Sometimes she’s the wise old crone who tests your courage; other times, she’s straight-up nightmare fuel. Either way, she’s been haunting folktales for centuries. Equal parts terrifying, hilarious, and weirdly iconic👏👏

51: La Voisin - Witches

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 05:15:00 GMT

By day, she was a church-goer and a charming fortune teller to the French elite.

By night, she lorded over a black market empire dealing in poisons, potions, and Satanic rituals. That’s right - today, we’re talking about La Voisin.

Catherine Montvoisin (better known as La Voisin) led a double life that blurred the lines between healer and killer, helper and heretic. History paints her as a monster. But the women who came to her saw something very different - a midwife. A confidant. Someone helping them survive in a system built to crush them.

So what’s the truth? And who gets to decide? US, PROBABLY.

50: The Bell Witch - Witches

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 05:15:00 GMT

The case of the Bell Witch haunting in Adams, Tennessee has been one of America’s spookiest legends since it first happened in the early 1800s👻 The Bell family claimed they were tormented by a mischievous spirit that whispered secrets, threw objects, and even took credit for John Bell’s mysterious death.

Over the years, locals pointed fingers at neighbor Kate Batts, painting her as the “witch” behind it all. But history suggests Kate may have just been a quirky woman with a sharp tongue, unfairly cast as the villain (classic). Maybe the haunting wasn’t about witches at all, and is just a good old-fashioned ghost story that got a little out of hand… We’ll let you be the judge👀

Welcome to witch month, little spoons! To kick things off, we’re talking about Helen Duncan, the last person to be found guilty under the Witchcraft Act of 1735…or was she?

As a medium who rose to fame in the UK spiritualist scene, Helen Duncan was a woman of many talents - including papier-mache, public mischief, and spewing ectoplasm. Her story spans two world wars, multiple arrests, and seances so sensational that even Winston Churchill got involved.

Was she a con artist? A conduit? Or something in between?

48: Ed and Lorraine Warren - It's Not What It Seems

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 05:15:00 GMT

Ed, a self-taught demonologist, and Lorraine, a clairvoyant medium, are the infamous paranormal duo that founded the New England Society for Psychic Research. Through their paranormal investigation organization, they took on some of the most high-profile demonic cases of all time, including the Amityville Horror, the Annabelle doll, and the Perron family haunting, which inspired The Conjuring film franchise.

While supporters praised them as pioneers, critics accused them of exaggeration, poor evidence, and exploiting families for financial gain. Needless to say, regardless of your opinions on them, the Warrens left a lasting legacy on the paranormal world and horror media (for better or worse).

In 1760s London, a woman died under (very) suspicious circumstances. Then, her ghost started speaking from beyond the grave, accusing her lover of murder - and kicking off a supernatural scandal of epic proportions.

But as crowds swarmed the haunted Cock Lane home to hear the ghost's accusations, one question loomed: was the spirit telling the truth? Or was this the pettiest smear campaign in paranormal history?

42: Pele's Curse - Curses

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 05:15:00 GMT

They say the spirit of Tutu Pele, the fierce Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, is woven throughout the land on the Hawaiian islands themselves. As the legend goes, if you pocket a lava rock, a pinch of black sand, or any natural treasure from her volcanic home, you invite her wrath and risk getting cursed. Some swear it’s just a tale invented to protect Hawaii’s fragile landscape. Others aren’t so sure.

Whether you believe it’s divine vengeance or pure coincidence, the message is clear: in Pele’s realm, you take nothing but memories. And if you forget that rule, the goddess might just remind you.

37: The Red Barn Murder - Bars

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 05:15:00 GMT

This week, we’re tackling the grim story of the Red Barn Murder, a tale so twisted it led to one of Britain’s first ever true crime frenzies.

In the 1800s, Maria Marten was a 24-year-old single mother living in a tiny English village. When she vanished after meeting her fiancé at a local barn (...the Red™ one), her disappearance started a chain reaction of rumors, accusations, and eventually, a trial so sensational that the public needed tickets just to get inside. We’re talking fake elopments, prophetic dreams, uncanny detective work - and at the center of it all, a woman whose story refused to stay buried.

35: Slenderman - Creepy Kids

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 05:00:00 GMT

What started as a fictional internet legend created all in good fun quickly grew to be the catalyst for one of the most horrific crimes of the 21st century. The story of Slenderman is not just the tale of a spooky, otherworldly being with no face and a dapper suit. Slenderman is the amalgamation of everything all of us are afraid of. The epitome of all horror stories, evil lurking in the shadows while innocent children play close by. The void incarnate, if you will.

Join us on this journey as we dive headfirst into this rabbit hole. We promise it will keep you up at night.

34: The Green Children of Woolpit - Creepy Kids

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 05:15:00 GMT

What do you do when two bean-obsessed kids show up out of nowhere…and they’re green?

That’s the exact question a group of 12th-century English villagers faced when a green-skinned girl and boy rocked up speaking an unrecognizable language, wearing unfamiliar clothes, and refusing to eat anything except raw broad beans. Classic.

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the strangest and most debated legends in English folklore: the Green Children of Woolpit. Were they fairies? Aliens? Malnourished Flemish orphans? An allegory for social anxiety? Or just two vegan cryptids doing their best? Grab a spoon (or your favorite bean), and lets dig in.

33: Black Eyed Children - Creepy Kids

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 05:00:00 GMT

In 1996, Brian Bethel had a strange encounter with some weird ass kids. Ever since then, the eerie legend of Black Eyed Children (or Black Eyed Kids / BEKs) has slowly creeped into everyday life. But who are these strange entities who come knocking in the middle of the nights? Demons? Aliens? Just some rando goth tricksters? We’ll dive into their spooky origin stories, strange behaviors, and the internet-fueled fear that keeps them lurking in our collective nightmares.

32: The Hammersmith Ghost Panic - Mass Hysteria

Tue, 27 May 2025 05:15:00 GMT

In 1803, a small village on the edge of London was being haunted…or so they thought.

Reports of a violent ghost start to spiral. Panic spreads. And eventually, a man picks up a shotgun and decides he’s going to solve the problem himself. What follows is a tragedy that sparks almost 200 years of legal debate.

Grab a spoon and join us as we trek through the hysteria, the trial, the haunted pub (bc of course), and most importantly: the unmasking of the real Hammersmith ghost.

31: The Blair Witch Project - Mass Hysteria

Tue, 20 May 2025 05:15:00 GMT

Marketed as real found footage of three students who got lost in the woods never to return, The Blair Witch Project was a slow burn horror masterpiece that had people in 1999 losing sleep, searching for missing filmmakers, and swearing off camping forever. Central to the chaos? The eerie legend of Elly Kedward—a colonial-era witch who was banished to the Black Hills Forest for doing some seriously spooky shit.

Come along as we get lost deep in the forest to uncover how a teeny little indie film, some never-before-seen marketing tactics, and a simple ghost story bewitched a generation.

28: The Exorcism of Gina - Demons

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 05:15:00 GMT

A young, 16-year-old girl named Gina underwent an exorcism that was broadcast on ABC for the entire nation to see back in 1991. After over 6 months of investigation, the anonymous priest who was assigned to her exorcism determined it was appropriate to perform the rite (in front of the whole country), despite the fact that Gina had been medically diagnosed with psychosis. We… have opinions.

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 05:15:00 GMT

In 1632, a group of nuns in the French town of Loudun claimed they’d been bewitched by a man named Urbain Grandier - a charismatic, controversial priest who was famously down bad.

In this episode, we’re diving into the Loudun possessions: the scandal, the politics, the public exorcisms, and the infamous witch trial that ended with Grandier burned at the stake. From demons and intrigue to repression and an (allegedly) real contract with the Devil, this one has it all.

In 1974, six members of the DeFeo family were tragically murdered in their Long Island home. Just over a year later, the Lutz family moved in - only to flee 28 days later, claiming the house was plagued by violent paranormal forces.

In this episode, we dive into the infamous Amityville case: the DeFeo murders, the Lutzes’ claims, the investigations that followed, and the media frenzy that helped turn one house into a cultural phenomenon. With conflicting accounts, sensational headlines, and decades of debate, we're unpacking what really happened at 112 Ocean Avenue (and why people still can't agree on it).

You’ve likely heard about the witch trials, but did you know Europe had another supernatural panic? Between the 15th and 18th centuries, hundreds of people were accused, tortured, and executed for being werewolves.

From brutal punishments to defendants claiming they used their wolf form to fight witches in hell (rude), history somehow just got even bloodier.

Edward evaded security for days at a time, rummaging through rooms, pocketing keepsakes, and even sneaking into the Queen’s private chambers (a scandal, I say!). His antics embarrassed the British government so much that they started operating outside the law to “deal” with him—leaving behind a story that’s equal parts absurd and entertaining.

3: Mercy Brown - Vampires

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 05:15:20 GMT

In this episode, we take a big ol’ bite out of the biggest vampire cliché of them all — that the real monsters aren’t the ones rising from the grave. Dun dun DUNNN…

Jokes aside, this week we take you to 19th-century New England, where a family gripped by tragedy sparked one of America's most infamous vampire hunts. When teenager Mercy Brown is accused of killing her family members from beyond the grave, concerned townsfolk exhume her body to check for vampiric symptoms. What they find fuels a panic — and their desperation leads to a truly gruesome ritual. Grab a spoon, and let’s dig in!
