Ep 23: Appalachian Folklore, Monster Rules, and Getting the Fuck Out of Dodge

Lock your doors, pull down the blinds, and whatever you do, do not look into the trees. This week, we are traveling to the oldest, most haunted peaks on Earth: the Appalachian Mountains. While the hiking trails are beautiful, the local cryptids have absolutely zero boundaries. We are deep-diving into the ancient mystery of the Moon-Eyed People and the terrifyingly stealthy Hidebehind (who is currently practicing negative social distancing right behind you). More importantly, we are breaking down the official, unwritten Appalachian survival rules that keep the locals alive. We're talking about the universal laws of the holler: If you hear a baby crying in the dark? No you didn't. If a disembodied voice calls your name from the woods? Mind your business. And if the entire forest suddenly goes dead silent? It's time to pack your things and get the absolute fuck out of dodge. Grab a drink, turn on every light in your house, and let's learn how not to get abducted by a mountain entity.

Ep 22: The Hantavirus, Disney’s "Dark" Secret, and T-Rex were Dragons

Grab your tinfoil hats and hide your Mickey ears, because this week we are spiraling through the looking glass. We’re starting off with the Hantavirus—because apparently the universe decided one pandemic wasn't enough for our lifetime—and moving straight into the dark underbelly of the House of Mouse. We’re diving into the disturbing Disney cruise ship allegations and the "hidden" scandals that the mouse doesn't want you to see. But because we can't stay in the darkness forever, we pivot to the most important scientific discovery of the century: the fact that the T-Rex was actually a fire-breathing dragon and the "science" community is just full of haters. From government corruption and vaccination scams to a spontaneous, high-energy rendition of "Dance Magic Dance," this episode is 10% research and 90% "what is actually happening to the world?" It’s a Labyrinth of tangents, David Bowie’s leggings, and the realization that the timeline is officially broken.

Ep 21: Annabelle, daddy issues and 17 tangents later

Buckle up, because this week we’re tackling the doll, the myth, and the terrifying red yarn: Annabelle. But before we get to the "demon in a dress," we have some personal demons to exorcise first. In our most tangent-filled episode yet, we’re diving into the real-life Raggedy Ann doll that allegedly terrorised a pair of nursing students and eventually ended up in the Warrens' Occult Museum. We break down the "true" story that inspired The Conjuring universe, while also taking a hard look at the controversial legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Between the paranormal activity and the serious allegations surrounding the Warrens, we somehow find time to bond over our own childhood trauma and some truly "special" stories about our dad. It’s a mix of high-stakes haunting and the kind of family venting that only a true crime podcast can provide.

Ep 20: Timeline Shifts, UFOs, and Too Much Caffeine

Grab your favourite mug and pull up a chair, because this week, we’re doing things a little differently. Consider this your official invitation to a casual coffee date with us as we throw the script out the window for a completely unstructured, "vibe-heavy" deep dive into the weird. In this episode, we aren't sticking to one case. Instead, we’re leaning into the chaos and catching up on all the cosmic strangeness that’s been keeping us up at night. From UFO sightings and Space Sirens to the nagging feeling that the universe is currently "glitching," we’re covering it all in our most casual conspiracy chat yet. Is it a Timeline Shift? A Mandela Effect? Or just the result of having one too many espressos? We’re rambling through the mysteries of the cosmos, questioning our reality, and taking a few (okay, a lot) of tangents along the way. If you’ve ever felt like the world just feels a little off lately, this is the episode for you.

Ep 19: Ed Gein | Arts, Crafts, and "Skin"-Care

This week, we’re headed to Plainfield, Wisconsin, to meet the man, the myth, and the ultimate mother’s boy: Ed Gein. While most people pick up sourdough or knitting as a hobby, Eddie took "DIY" to a level that changed the horror genre forever. We’re doing a deep dive into the Butcher of Plainfield, exploring how his isolated upbringing and an extreme case of "mommy issues" led to the most bizarre home renovation project in history. From his midnight trips to the cemetery to his legendary (and terrifying) "craft room," we explore the man who inspired cinema’s most famous monsters—from Psycho’s Norman Bates to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Leatherface. Grab a drink and maybe a snack (actually, maybe skip the snack for this one), as we get into the "skinny" on Ed Gein.
