Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2452053/open_sms] In 2005, Irina Cornici died during an exorcism at a remote monastery in Tanacu, Romania. What followed was a disturbing examination of faith, fear, and systemic failure, raising difficult questions about belief, responsibility, and how a vulnerable woman was so profoundly let down.

Belle Gunness: The Black Widow of La Porte

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2452053/open_sms] In 1908, a fire destroyed a farmhouse outside La Porte, Indiana. Inside were the bodies of three children. Nearby, investigators found the remains of a woman believed to be the homeowner, Belle Gunness. But the case didn’t end there. Belle Gunness was a Norwegian immigrant and farm owner who placed personal ads seeking marriage. Men arrived at her farm with savings and plans for the future,  and were never seen again. In this episode of ClueTrail, we walk through the timeline of the Belle Gunness case, explore who her victims were, and examine the unanswered question that still remains: did Belle die in the fire, or did she manage to disappear?

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2452053/open_sms] Two mysteries, one restless question: how far will fear carry a story? We mark Halloween by walking two grim paths, through the Pendle witch trials of 1612 and out to the storm-beaten Flannan Isles, where three lighthouse keepers vanished without a trace. Along the way, we unpack how belief, law, and isolation turn everyday details into legends that refuse to fade.
