Mom, I'm Scared

Old Idaho Pen

This week, Becca takes us inside the Old Idaho State Penitentiary — a prison built in the 1800s that held some of Idaho’s most dangerous criminals for over 100 years. From brutal conditions and prison riots to attempted escapes and notorious inmates, the prison’s dark history still lingers inside its sandstone walls. What started as a single cell house eventually became one of the most infamous prisons in the West… and many people believe some of its former inmates never really left.

Synanon

This week, Mom tells the story of something right in her backyard - Synanon — the organization that started as a drug rehabilitation program, but slowly transformed into something far more disturbing. What began with the goal of helping people recover eventually became known for strict control, intense group tactics, and a leader whose power continued to grow unchecked. From “The Game” to the group’s increasingly bizarre and dangerous behavior, Synanon’s story has become one of the most infamous cult-like organizations in American history.

Roswell

Something crashed in the New Mexico desert in 1947. Depending on who you ask, it was a weather balloon… a secret military experiment… or something not from this world. This week, Becca reveals her secret obsession — aliens — and dives into the story of Roswell. What was first reported as a “flying disc” was quickly taken back by the military, replaced with a much more ordinary explanation. But the story didn’t end there. Over the years, witness accounts, government statements, and conspiracy theories have only added more questions. Often considered one of the first modern conspiracy theories, people have debated for decades what really crashed near Roswell… and whether the truth has been hidden ever since.

Amityville Horror

This week, Mom tells the story of the Amityville house — one of the most infamous hauntings in America. She dives into the history of Ronald DeFeo Jr., who murdered his entire family at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island… and what may have followed in that house after. After the DeFeo family murders, the Lutz family moved in, but they didn’t stay long. What they experienced inside has been questioned, debated, and retold for decades. A brutal crime. A new family. And a story that still leaves people wondering what was real.

Our Favorite Dollies

You might be putting your dolls in the attic after this one. Becca dives into the story of Annabelle — the doll that’s been locked away for decades after terrifying its owners and catching the attention of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Then Mom introduces us to Robert the Doll, a mischievous little icon who’s been blamed for everything from accidents to nightmares… and is still getting apology letters to this day. Tell me you don’t want to go visit both of these precious little dolls immediately.
