  • Bonus 1 - Blackbeard, The Most Feared Pirate Of His Time

Aboard the trust worthy vessel, The Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard fought in wars on the open seas, experienced swashbuckling battles, narrowly escaped capture on multiple occasions, and freed slaves along the way. This is all leading up to an epic, fateful and final stand. So prepare yourselves as we step into the dangerous, exciting, dirty and yet somewhat sexy world of pirates, today on Brain Bitez.

  • 15 - Jesse James: American Robin Hood or Terrorist
    The journalists of the time loved selling their romanticized and exaggerated tales of the Wild West.

Jesse James was a dangerous young man who was quickly reimagined as being the modern day Robin Hood. He robbed from the rich and was kind to the poor. But how much of this is true? Besides being a sometimes kind man with a southern playful charm, he was also a terrorist, horse thief, robber, and also a cold-blooded murderer. His gang was made up of some of the most dangerous men of the time, and we are going to bite into them right now.

  • 12 - Robert The Cursed Doll - Winter Solstice Special 2

    Like last year... this holiday tail is going to have a more supernatural element to it. And like I said last year... It's my way of paying homage to that holiday favorite hymn that sings about scary ghost stories... and tails of the glories of Christmases long, long ago. I've got to say... there is no glory to be had in today's episode but there will be a haunting tail. If you've listened to previous episodes then you know that dolls unnerve me. Their cold glass eyes watching you no matter where you stand in the room. To many dolls are creepy and many people believe that Robert is the worst doll of them all. The reason for this is because some say Robert is truly haunted. He and his curse have been blamed for many things including job loss and divorce to more dangerous mishaps like car accidents and broken bones. He might have even killed a person, and due to these facts the little monster may have been the inspiration for Chucky from the Child's Play franchise. Are evil spirits to blame for all this? Is voodoo the cause? I don't know. But ready or not… we're about to find out. I hope you put on your brown pants. Before there was Annabelle… before there was Chucky… there was Robert. So prepare yourselves as we take a look at one of the most dangerous and deadly dolls in history today on Brain Bitez. Hey… I just wanted to say thank you one more time for listening.

  • 10 - Yesteryears Horror Special: The Real Haunting In Connecticut
    "Mom, this house is evil. We need to leave here right away!" This is not something you want to hear your kids tell you after entering a new house for the first time that you just put money down on. Yet that is exactly what Carmen's son Philip told her only 2 hours after being in their house on 208 Meridan Avenue in Southington, Connecticut. This location was going to be the answer to many of the families problems. Little did they know that this dream home was going to turn into a house of nightmares very quickly. From disembodied voices and shadowy figures to demons and possession, lets take a look at one of Connecticut's darkest tales. With it being the month of October I thought it would be fun to do a special edition episode which I have dubbed "A Yesteryears Horror". For this special edition episode what better to sink our teeth into then a haunted house. So join us as we look through the audio window into the most terrifying moments of a families life as we dig deep into the real haunting in Connecticut.

  • 9 - Real Monster of Florence
    The 'Mostro di Firenze', is literally translated to the Monster of Florence, the name given to the person responsible for the death of at least 14 people near Florence between 1968 and 1985. The Monster of Florence has intrigued investigators, psychologists, and criminologists for decades because it is the only crime case of its type in the history of criminology. The case is considered one of criminology's most baffling mysteries putting it right up there with the Jack the Ripper case. So with an investigation spanning over 40 years it is going to be easy to make a cerebral feast out of a story that is not only filled with mystery… but it also has a dash of romance, drama, and a whole lot of horror. It doesn't matter if you are out on a date, looking for an excuse to get out of a bad date, or out for a late night drive… Its time to feed your mind… its time for BRAIN BITEZ.

  • 7 - Nellie Bly vs. The Man, The Madhouse, And The World
    Known in history as a trailblazing female journalist, Nellie Bly gets an assignment in 1887 to go undercover and spend ten days in a mad-house and report her findings. Once Nellie is behind the walls of hell… known as the Blackwell's Island Asylum, she discovers the demons within and that absolutely nothing is being done to help anyone inside. The biggest surprise is just how easy and quickly women were being admitted. Reading about Nellie's life and time in the asylum, you can't help but wonder if this is a piece of fiction. You'll also be surprised to discover how real and morbid Nellie's time in this institution truly is. It doesn't matter if you are a desk working business employee, a hard working stay at home parent, or an adventurous student with dreams of the future… it's time to feed your mind. Its time for Brain Bitez.
