Behind Closed Doors

In this episode of Disturb Me, Chris and Meg trade two stories that prove reality can be far more terrifying than fiction. * Chris dives into the horrifying life of Albert Fish, a serial killer and cannibal whose crimes shocked early 20th-century New York. * Meg counters with the eerie unsolved case of the Hinterkaifeck murders, where an entire family was slaughtered on their remote German farm, leaving a mystery that still lingers today. Together, these stories reveal how horror often hides in plain sight — in quiet houses, in ordinary lives, and in the shadows of history. Have a story you think will creep us out? Share it!

Buried and Breathless

In the very first episode of Disturb Me, Chris and Meg kick things off by swapping two stories guaranteed to make your skin crawl. * Meg takes us deep underground into the infamous Nutty Putty Cave, where caver John Jones became trapped in a nightmare that shocked the nation. * Chris brings us back to the surface with the San Antonio train derailment, a catastrophe that released deadly chlorine gas and left chaos in its wake. Together, these stories set the stage for what Disturb Me is all about: exploring the strange, tragic, and haunting corners of real life — the ones that leave you unsettled long after you’ve heard them.
