Based on a True Crime

On June 5, 1960, some time between the hours of 4 and 6AM, four teenagers were savagely attacked while camping at the edge of Lake Bodom in Finland. Only one survived. This unsolved crime has spawned a number of theories and potential suspects, including a KGB spy and the surviving victim himself. It also inspired a 2016 horror movie, called Lake Bodom.

NOTE: As one of our first episodes, the quality of our recording methods wasn't as advanced and we had only a basic knowledge of making a podcast. Many of the reviews don't take that into consideration. If you're just starting out with our show, please try one of our later episodes before writing a nasty review.

The legend of Cropsey has been told around many campfires in the New England area as a warning tale for misbehaving children, and inspired a number of slasher movies. In the 1970s, the legend seemingly came to life when children on Staten Island began disappearing. Save one, their bodies were never found.
