- Ep. 48: Haunted As F#@k Objects
Something wicked this way comes....or maybe it's already in your house? We dive into the history of Ouija boards, the most popular spirit summoning board you can buy at your local toy store. How did these "talking boards" get to be a household name and "game", but also a notorious occult item?Kelsey takes us through it and also shares some sinister first-hand experiences of planchette play. Have you heard of the Dybbuk box? Do you know what it has in common with a pub chair from England and a set of bunk beds? You're about to find out, as Alanna brings a trio of haunted....wooden furniture?? um...knock on wood, I guess? Happy listening! and if you find a Ouija board in the woods, maybe just leave it there.

- Ep.45: Crimes of PassionThere seems to be a running theme with this week's episode- and it's love triangles! Well, one might be more of a rhombus, not sure, let's just say, It's Complicated.Because how could we have Crimes of Passion without first having the passion? And who drives you more crazy than your significant other??Evelyn Nesbitt was sometimes called the Marilyn Monroe of her times- a beautiful, photogenic and charming lady that had wealthy men falling at her feet. Kelsey pulls us onto the rollercoaster of life; her rise to fame, the drama of her love life, and her never-ending resilience. There's enough stories in her life to fill SEVERAL books (and it has).Love triangle #2 is more your standard variety- Boy meets girl, meets another girl, doesn't give up first girl. Chaos ensues. Parachutes are involved, it's not good.To complete the trifecta of terror, Alanna ends it off with a Simpsons-centric crime. You might remember him from such roles as Troy McClure, it's the murder of actor Phil Hartman.Tags: Crimes of Passion, Evelyn Nesbit, Harry Thaw, Stanford White, Els Van Doren, Els Clottemans, linktr.ee/castlesandcryptids Website: castlesandcryptidspod.squarespace.com2 hr 18 min

1 hr 58 min - Ep. 43: Hollywood Curses P. 2: Curse of the CenterfoldBob Dylan has been quoted as saying, "Fame is a curse. I never envied one of the famous people I've known." We can't help but wonder if he's at least partly right. Quite a few of the models who appeared in the magazine's centerfold met tragic ends very young. While some of them had their lives taken from them by force, others may have succumbed to some of the pressures of fame and fortune. So is it just bad luck for these Bunnies?With a list that includes Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole-Smith, and Jayne Mansfield, the stories range from sad to awful to might make your blood run cold. But some small good can come from the bad, and you'll just have to tune in to find out how!Tags: Hollywood Curses, Curse of the Centerfold, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Anna-Nicole Smith, Jasmine Fiores, Star Stowe, Hugh Hefner, Playboy Mansion, Playboy bunnieslinktr.ee/castlesandcryptids Website: castlesandcryptidspod.squarespace.com1 hr 10 min

- Episode 41: Kiwi CrimesThis week we head to Taika Waititi-land (isn't that what we're calling it now?😜) to uncover some more seedy criminals and messed up shenanigans!We kick things off with a Pamper Party, sounds innocent enough right? WRONG! Straight to Murdertown with this one! But seriously, folks, this one is EFFED up. You can't trust anyone, even when you are trying to treat yo'self.The cherry on top is a story worthy of being a black comedy movie- because it was! There was a 2015 made-for-TV movie about Alfred Benning, who really hated his wife but was fond of apples. The title totally tracks when you hear how by-the-book this criminal was. Even if he looks like an old-timey milkman.Trust no one!! Fox Mulder had it right.Tags: Pamper party murder, Carly Sinclair, Betty Benning, how to murder your wifelinktr.ee/castlesandcryptids Website: castlesandcryptidspod.squarespace.com1 hr 55 min
