Give it a listen, and then sound off with your theories on our Instagram (betterintheorypodcast), Twitter (better_theory), and email ([email protected]).

  • Episode 2: A Gravedigger in a Canadian Tuxedo

    Welcome back to episode 2! This week Riley and Brenna cover a huge conspiracy from 1969. No, not that Stanley Kubrick helped fake the moon landing. Not the Chicago Seven conspiracy either. Not even "The Capitalist Conspiracy" directed by G. Edward Griffin. This week, we're talking the supposed death and look-alike replacement of Sir Paul McCartney. So turn on, tune in, drop out- and let us know if we've ruined The Beatles for you forever.

    Welcome to Better in Theory 2.0! New host Riley joins Brenna (the older part of the original sister hosts duo) to discuss a well-known Portland landmark- The Witch's Castle.

  • North Dakota was Messed Up and Zak Bagans, Dont Block Us on Twitter
    In this mini episode, Brenna dives into her first true crime story; the disappearance (and possible murder) of Andrew Sadek. Just 20 years old and weeks away from graduating from college, his roommate reports him as missing. When his body is discovered months later, there are more questions than answers, but the police aren’t answering any of them. Morgan tackles the Black Forest Hauntings from Black Forest, Colorado. A wild 1991 case that involves animal ghosts in the woods, skeptical governers and...government conspiracies? Yep, you read that right. Sadly, no aliens in this one though. We need to get back to the aliens. Follow us on Instagram @betterintheorypodcast and on Twitter @better_theory

  • A Mysterious Mystery and A Cryptid with Good Genes
    In this episode, Brenna introduces the incredibly eerie Roopkund Lake in India, leaving Morgan absolutely speechless. What's creepier than a lake filled with human skeletons? Not knowing how they got there or why! Can we answer these long held questions?? Morgan then discusses the theories of the crpytid that ravaged Provincetown, Massachusetts in the 1930s, The Black Flash. Was it all a well thought out hoax or an ancestor of a similar English beast?
