57: Ep. 57 Englands Deadliest Forest & It's 2000 Year Body Count

Just outside one of the most populated cities on earth sits a 6,000-acre forest that has been collecting bodies — and secrets — since before the Roman Empire. Epping Forest isn’t just haunted. It’s a thousand-year crime scene layered on top of an Iron Age battlefield, a highwayman’s lair, and a gangland dumping ground. And that’s before we even get to the pond that locals say is *evil beyond measure.* In this episode of Creepy Shit, we’re diving deep into the true, documented, and wildly disturbing history of Epping Forest — England’s most dangerous woodland. We’re talking Celtic warrior queen Boudica’s last stand in 61 AD, Dick Turpin the real highwayman (not the romantic version — the murderous one), the Kray twins using the forest as their personal graveyard, a 30-year cold case known as the Babes in the Wood murders, a hill where your car rolls uphill with the engine off, and a pond with no location on any map that people say *pulls* you toward it. This one is packed with true crime, real history, paranormal activity, and the kind of dark folklore that will make you rethink everything you think you know about forests.

56: Ep. 56 The Bridge That Swallowed 844 Souls

In 1915, a ship everyone knew was dangerous capsized in the Chicago River — killing 844 people on their way to a company picnic. More deaths than the Titanic’s passenger list. 22 entire families, gone.  No one was ever held accountable.  And to this day, people standing on Chicago’s Clark Street Bridge report seeing faces in the water below. This is the SS Eastland disaster. And it’s been buried long enough.

You heard the history and the happenings, Now hear what happened to my husband and I while we were at Shaker's Cigar Bar. In part 2 of our Shaker's Cigar Bar Bar, Podcast Birthday Celebration. Im taking you back inside, walking you through what I personally felt (& what my husband felt) from the moment I entered the building, what I captured on camera that I wasn't expecting and the moments that were hard to shake long after we left.  Some of it is subtle, some of it is not. This is where it gets personal. No history lesson, no interview, just me telling you exactly what it feels like to spend time inside a place that is genuinely, documentably haunted.
