episode E14 - Aundria Bowman/Alexis Badger & Sloss furnaces' cover

Description

Trigger warning: Sexual assault * In this episode, we follow the relentless journey of Cathy Terkanian, Aundria’s biological mother, who received a letter in 2010 that shattered her world. After learning her daughter had been missing for over 20 years, Cathy refused to accept the "runaway" story. Her decade-long crusade for the truth eventually peeled back the layers of a monster hiding in plain sight. We also peel back the layers of soot and iron to explore the dark history of "Pig Iron" Joe Postman, the sadistic foreman who reportedly met a gruesome end in the machinery—and never truly left. From unexplained shadow figures to the phantom screams echoing through the blowing engine house, we dive into why Sloss is considered one of the most haunted industrial sites in the world.

E17 - The disappearance of Timmothy Pitzen & St. Augustine lighthouse

In this episode, we meticulously trace the timeline of Amy and Timmothy’s final documented days together. We explore the forensic evidence left behind in the family vehicle, decode the psychological profile of the letters left at the scene, examine the cruel heartbreak of the 2019 hoax, and weigh the two conflicting realities that still haunt his family: Did a mother hide her son away to protect him from a broken world, or does a far more sinister truth lie buried in the Midwest soil? In this episode, we climb the 219 winding metal stairs to uncover the history, the heartbreak, and the terrifying paranormal encounters that make the St. Augustine Light an epicenter for the supernatural. Consistently named one of the most haunted locations in America, this 19th-century beacon has inherited centuries of tragedy, accidental deaths, and spirits that refuse to abandon their posts.

E16 - Kendrick Johnson & Stuckey's bridge

In this episode, we dissect a case completely compromised by inconsistencies. We track the horrifying discoveries made during independent autopsies—from evidence of blunt force trauma to chilling revelations. We sift through the complex web of local cover-up allegations involving the sons of an FBI agent, the heavily disputed timeline of events, and the family's ongoing multi-billion-dollar legal battles to force a broken system to yield the truth. Was Kendrick Johnson the victim of a tragic, claustrophobic accident, or was he the target of a violent assault and a massive institutional cover-up? This week, we also investigate Stuckey’s Bridge—a registered historic landmark that locals know as a portal to the past. Legend says a former member of the Dalton Gang built an inn by the Chunky River, using it as a trap to rob and murder wealthy travelers before the townspeople took justice into their own hands. But as we peel back the layers of time, the historical timeline reveals a fascinating twist: the bridge standing today wasn't built until decades after Stuckey’s death. Is the haunting tied to the land, the river, or the terrifying folklore itself?

E15 - Burger Chef murders & Bachelor's Grove Cemetery

In this episode, we dive deep into the chilling and tragic events of November 17, 1978, in Speedway, Indiana. What initially appeared to be a routine late-night restaurant robbery quickly spiraled into a nightmare. Four young employees vanished from a Burger Chef restaurant, launching a flawed investigation that would baffle detectives for decades. We break down the timeline of that fateful night, the critical mistakes made by early investigators, and the haunting theories that still linger today. This week we also dive deep into Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery, widely considered one of the most haunted graveyards in America. From its peaceful beginnings in the 1830s to its descent into vandalism, occult rumors, and bone-chilling paranormal phenomena, we unpack the history and the haunts that make this site a magnet for ghost hunters.

E13 - The Katrina cannibal & Lemp mansion

Trigger warning: suicide & animal cruelty/death * In the immediate, lawless aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, while most of New Orleans fled, Zack Bowen and Addie Hall became the "Golden Couple" of the French Quarter. They stayed behind, serving drinks by candlelight and surviving on grit and charisma. But when the floodwaters finally receded, a far more sinister tide rose within the walls of their apartment at 827 North Rampart Street. In this episode, we step inside "one of America’s most haunted places" to separate the historical facts from the spectral legends. Rising above the streets of St. Louis, the Lemp Mansion stands as a somber monument to a beer dynasty built on innovation and collapsed by tragedy. Once the home of the world-renowned Lemp Brewery family, the house saw four separate deaths within its walls, leaving behind a legacy of grief that many believe has never fully departed.
