In this episode of Chambers of the Occult, we travel from the wilderness of Idaho to a quiet bungalow in San Pedro, uncovering two stories where something goes terribly wrong and those asking for help are left unprotected.
Milo begins with a recent true crime case out of Twin Falls, Idaho, where a routine traffic stop exposed a sprawling wildlife poaching ring. What started with a few untagged deer unraveled into a years long investigation involving dozens of illegally killed animals, revoked hunting licenses, steep fines, and jail time. It is a case that raises uncomfortable questions about thrill seeking, power, and how easily conservation laws are ignored when no one thinks they are being watched.
Then, J takes us into one of California’s most disturbing paranormal cases, the San Pedro Poltergeist. In the late 1980s, a single mother named Jacqueline Hernandez began experiencing escalating activity inside her home. Objects moved, lights appeared, a violent apparition emerged, and a presence followed her even after she fled the house. When she sought help, she was blamed, dismissed, and investigated herself, while the haunting grew increasingly aggressive.
Together, these cases explore what happens when rules are broken, warnings are ignored, and the systems meant to protect people and animals fail them entirely.
From poaching rings to violent hauntings, this episode asks one simple question.
What happens when you are hunted, haunted, and left to face it alone?
