The New Jersey Pine Barrens: Over one million acres of sparsely populated, occasionally-on-fire wilderness, where the soil isn't good for growing anything but legends. Join us on a tour of Jersey's Pinelands and all the creepies and cryptids that supposedly make them their home, from pirate ghosts to the famed Jersey Devil.
Go easy on Sean, Jersey-ites! He meant to say "pork roll."

On June 18th, 2023, the underwater tourism company OceanGate launched its Titan submersible, which was heading down with five passengers - billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, deep-sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and the CEO of OceanGate itself, Stockton Rush - to nearly 2.5 miles beneath the ocean's surface to visit the wreck of the legendary doomed ocean liner, Titanic.
None of them would make it back alive.
What has unfolded in the last year since the entire world waited with bated breath to see what happened to the Titan submersible is a story of hubris, particularly surrounding OceanGate's founder and the pilot of the sub, Stockton Rush. Descended from wealth and innovation, Rush believed that he knew better than just about anyone else in the deep-sea exploration industry when it came to the construction of submersibles...and would pay for that confidence with his life, along with those of 4 more innocent victims.
Why did the Titan implode? Was this loss of life simply a tragic accident, or an absolutely avoidable incident? Much information has come out in the last year to try and answer these questions, leading up to and including these most recent hearings - and Carrie takes us through it all to try and find some answers.

Satanic Panic is back, baby, in the second of two parts on the Son of Sam murders!
Sean takes us to the scenes of the last few shootings David Berkowitz committed in the summer of 1977, before covering Berkowitz's tumultuous transition to incarceration and eventual (inevitable?) cellblock conversion to evangelical Christianity. Oh, yes, and a talking dog.
Looming like a conspiratorial shadow is the question: Did Berkowitz act alone? Or was the "Son of Sam" actually an interstate Satanic cabal bent on wreaking havoc? Sean has opinions.

Trigger warnings for death and disco this week as we had back to mid-1970s New York to explore the "Son of Sam" murders that left the city in panic for one frantic year.
From July 1976 to July 1977, David Berkowitz embarked on a string of cold-blooded murders with a .44 caliber pistol, killing six innocent people and wounding another seven more. This week, Sean gives us a quick tour of the life and times of the sad-sack slayer before sketching out his crimes of '76 and '77, along with his pretty cringey bid to make a (literal) name for himself.

In late September 1982, seven residents of the Chicago metropolitan area collapsed mysteriously, dying mere hours or days later. It didn't take investigators long to realize all seven victims had taken Extra-Strength Tylenol just prior to their deaths. All of them had been murdered, by a stranger, with cyanide, which had tainted the Tylenol capsules as they sat on store shelves.
Join us this week as Sean runs down the facts and the suspects in this technically-unsolved poisoning spree - and the horrifying copycat crimes that followed.

#HotMothSummer comes to a climactic end this week with the end of the first Mothman flap of Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966-1967 and the catastrophic collapse of the Silver Bridge, a tragedy in which 46 people lost their lives. Was the Mothman trying to warn those of the calamity to come...or merely a harbinger of their doom? And what was with all those UFOs, Men in Black, and of course, Indrid Cold?
We try to get to the bottom of a "Unifying Theory of Mothman", and along the way also explore other winged humanoid sightings in Chernobyl directly before the infamous nuclear meltdown, and in Chicago, most famously around 2017 when 55 witnesses came forward to report spotting a Mothman creature flying over the metropolis and the surrounding areas.
Was Mothman a cryptid? An alien? A government experiment? A bigass bird? Or simply another case of mass hysteria? Carrie and Sean attempt to find the answers.

Thanks for your patience as we push through some tiring personal stuff to get to a great end to our Mothman series, and capping off #HotMothSummer just ahead of Labor Day!
In the interest of our sanity, we kept it fairly loose this week with a late catch-up featuring Sean & Carrie gathering round the spooky campfire and talking their recently-consumed horror content (Fallout the TV show, a cameo by our love of The Traitors, Immaculate and 'Salem's Lot), discussed some ways we're already getting in the Halloweeny mood (as if we weren't year-round), some new Ancient Rome lore Sean's picked up, who in the Ain't it Scary? recent archives Carrie would FMK (F*ck, Marry, Kill) and a series of Would You Rather?s for Sean, and a multi-part news segment touching on baseball star Mookie Betts' fear of the paranormal, a possible answer to the mysterious WOW! Signal and a recent bit of evidence that's been captured in the hunt for the Loch Ness Monster.

This week, we return to Point Pleasant for even more high strangeness as the Men in Black, a fleet of UFOs, and author John Keel descend on the town and get mixed up in a series of bizarre encounters including a little man with a ballpoint pen obsession, Indrid Cold and his posse of Lanulans (including our fave, Kletaw) and one very (and rightfully) pissed-off Native American Chief by the name of Cornstalk.
Next time, we'll attempt to wrap up this crazy tale with the rest of the unbelievable events of 1967, culminating in a tragedy that still reverberates through the town of Point Pleasant to this day.

This week, #HotMothSummer continues as we finally reach the story we've been building up to: the strange tale of the Mothman, a maybe-cryptid maybe-alien that descended upon the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 to freak out the locals and eventually nab himself his own festival, museum, and of course, a particularly bootylicious statue.
We begin this bizarre story with sightings of odd man-bird-creatures across the centuries in America, leading up to the major late-60s flying-man-flap that also involves UFOs, the Men in Black, and one weird guy who goes by the name of Indrid Cold.
Stay tuned for next week, when we get into the shady characters that flooded the town of Point Pleasant after the famous initial Mothman sighting, all leading to the greatest tragedy in the small burg's history one year later - and one of America's most devastating and deadly bridge collapses to this day.

#HotMothSummer presses on this week with part 2 of our primer on the Men in Black!
Sean takes us back to 1953 Bridgeport, Connecticut, as we hear in Albert Bender's own words what he says he experienced that fateful summer. What sounded from the outside like an intimidating visit from government officials quickly spins into a sci-fi thriller full of telepathic messages, astral projection, and the occasional sexy alien rubdown.
Grab your magic coin and breathe in that sweet, sweet sulphur air, because this week we look the MIBs right in their beady, glowing little eyes and see what gazes back.
