Bewitched Banter

Happy Thanksgiving all!  This time of year during grade school you’ve likely heard all about the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock and then later all about the next colony of Jamestown, VA. But did you know before these two Thanksgiving-themed colonies, that Roanoke came first? Set off what is the modern day Outer Banks of North Carolina, 115 colonists seemingly vanished. 400 years later no one, not even scholars, scientists, or archeologists have a plausible answer for where these men, women, and children may have gone. Was is the weather, infighting within the colony, or perhaps something more sinister? Tell us what you think!

We all learned about the Witch Trials in history class, but did you know that Werewolf Trials were a thing too? The cannibal Peter Stumpp, who was nicknamed the Werewolf Killer, was the catalyst for the hysteria that took over Europe. This caused several townies to fear that they were going to be eaten by a werewolf. He is known to be one of the most gruesome serial killers of all time.

Holdel” onto your hats for this one as Krista brings us back to darkness territory on this Haunted Hollywood case. Many of us have heard of the horrors of Elizabeth Short’s murder in the 1940s and know it as one of LA’s most gruesome crimes. In today’s episode, we go to the seedy side of the City of Angels which ironically is home to many more demons than angels – including the most likely murder suspect of Short – Dr. George Hodel. While the Short case remains unsolved with the California’s District Attorney’s Office, the Bewitches are pretty damn sure Hodel was the horrible human who killed the Black Dahlia (and several other women). Do you think it was him and are you shocked he got away with murder? Let us know at [email protected]. 

OMG, exorcisms are so hot right now?! But Amy's not invited to Krista's big exorcism bash. Just kidding. Amy does explain the demons away and why this religious Rite, is actually scary for those who truly believe in its proclaimed salvation.
