Shortly before noon on August 4, 1892, the body of Andrew Borden, a prosperous businessman, was found in the parlor of his Fall River, Massachusetts, home. As neighbors, police and doctors arrived at the scene, the body of Abby Borden, his wife, was discovered in an upstairs bedroom. A week later, Andrew's younger daughter, Lizzie, was arrested for the double murder. In an era when women were considered the "weaker" sex and female murderers were nearly unheard of, the trial—and subsequent acquittal—of Lizzie Borden made her a media sensation. Officially, the case remains unsolved, but Lizzie Borden may very well have taken an ax and ended her parents' lives on that sweltering summer day. It doesn't matter if you are getting work done around the house, pretending to get work done at the office, or just wanting to take a break from some hard studying… Its time to feed your mind. Its time for Brain Bitez.

To start off the new year with some inspiration lets look at a man who lacked connections, charisma, good looks, a formal education, and yet became one of the greatest men in American history. Famously born in a one-room cabin to uneducated farmer parents, Abraham Lincoln's rise to the Presidency has long been the stuff of legend. Lincoln was almost entirely self-educated; he received only 18 months of formal schooling. He offset this disadvantage by voraciously consuming any book he could get his hands on. At age 22, Lincoln packed his meager belongings and paddled out on his own. He taught himself the law and became a successful attorney and state legislator in Illinois. He eventually wins the presidency and the rest is history. Abraham "Balls of Steel" Lincoln went on to guide America through her darkest and stormiest hour. It doesn't matter if your working on your new years resolutions, working out at the gym, or skipping out on that morning jog. It's time to feed your mind. It's time for Brain Bitez.

Quote: "Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle." - often attributed to Abraham Lincoln

Have you ever received a gift from a loved one that you completely regret even opening? Maybe an ugly tie or possibly a gross looking sweater… or maybe when you were a kid you were given that one toy you never asked for because you knew… deep down inside… that the toy you received was cursed or possessed by a demonic force that wanted nothing more then to destroy everyone you know and love? No. Never came across that problem? Well… "No" is not the answer these two nursing student can give. They experienced more terror from one gift than any ugly sweater or tie could ever provide. Join us as we take a demonic and cotton filled bite out of Annabelle the cursed doll. It doesn't matter if you are working at your job, celebrating the holidays with family, or doing some last minute present wrapping… its time to feed your mind. Its time for Brain Bitez.

Imagine if you were stuck on an island with the belief that there was no escape. Scared? No. Okay. Now imagine you were a prisoner stuck in an inescapable fortress where you will never see or here from the outside world. Scared yet? Alright, now imagine that at any given time a spirit that has already killed one person in this fortress, has the freedom to walk this island and terrorize you whenever they want. Remember... there is nowhere for you to run and hide. Welcome to Alcatraz. Where you don't only have to worry about the living inmates but the dead ones as well. So enjoy some freedom and experience some possible fear as we look at the rocky history of this cold island and dive into the hauntings still happening today on this chilling and secluded episode. It doesn't matter if you working at your job, at home or your just chillin' out. It is time to feed your mind. Its time for BRAIN BITEZ.

Episode quote: "It's mighty good to get up and leave. This Rock ain't good for nobody." –Frank Weatherman, the last con to leave Alcatraz (1963)

"You break the rules, you go to prison. You break the prison rules, you go to Alcatraz." These words are painted on the walls near the entrance and it is one of the first things you read when you walk into this inescapable penitentiary. Join us tonight as we take a look behind the concrete walls of this prison and the prisoners who would die to escape this island. Some would call it home, others would call it prison and tonight we may find out why some would call it HELLCATRAZ. It doesn't matter if you are working at home, at your job, or just chillin' out. Its time to feed your mind. Its time for BRAIN BITEZ.

What is it about spiders that make us experience such real and intense fear? Are you always within a few feet of at least one of these eight legged freaks? Can a spider bite your wiener while you're having a little you time and doing your business? All these questions and so much more will be answered in this very creepy, very crawly, first edition of Brain Bitez.
