  • Episode 18: Holy Schnitzel! There's Been a Murder
    It's true crime time, and this episode we picked some cases from the darkest parts of Deutschland! And the first case is very dark indeed, as Kelsey covers the famous German "girl in the box" case, the tragic story of Ursula Herrmann.  Since that one is a tough listen, Alanna does a dip into some weird ones for some mind bleach?? If that's a thing. First up is the "Woman without a face" case, a quick detour for tale of the Sandman of Lubeck and then we play a quick game of German laws- Fact or fiction.  Abwarten und Tee trinken!

  • Episode 11: Past Lives

    Reincarnation is having a comeback! All dad jokes aside, past lives are something that both fascinate and creep us out simultaneously.  Kelsey covers a bizarre story of very similar sets of sisters that has a hopeful ending. Alanna teaches us a little bit about the history of reincarnation and a small boy who knew many things he could not have known.  Top it all off with some creepy things children have said that will have you believing in past lives! and probably shuddering slightly.  Happy listening! ya'll come back now you hear?? :P and back and back...
