Crime, Cults, & Coffee

Kristin Smart was a 19-year-old college student when she suddenly disappeared from campus. Join us this week as we discuss a case that occurred on Memorial Day Weekend in 1996 & has remained in the public eye for decades. (By the way- we did not plan for this to come out on Memorial Day Weekend, but here we are). Although some information has been discovered, the biggest question remains— where is Kristin?

(s)WITCHING it up this week for you! Episode 33 is all about those magical vibes, as we cover the legend of Mother Shipton herself! Don’t know her? Now you will! Tune in to hear stories passed down over the years, crazyyy accurate prophecies, and the legacy she left behind.

Prepare yourselves- this week’s episode has SO much going on. Honestly, we are still processing everything & can’t believe this ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Embezzlement? Check. Badass woman? Check. Attempted murder & a bunch of shitty people? Check & check. Money laundering like Marty Byrde? Potentially. We promise, you’re going to want to hear this case!

TWO CASES?!? You heard that right. This week we’re covering The Lost Children of the Alleghenies and the disappearance of Charley Ross. Both stories involve missing children, crazy information, and take place in the 1800’s in Pennsylvania. One of them includes a first in crime history, while the other holds a prophetic dream. Jump on a wagon and get rural with us to see how they unfold.

Grab your coffee and have a mourning with us, as we have a super special guest on this week’s episode. Lexy reached out to us to share her story and the experiences that she went through when her dad was a cult leader. Needless to say, our jaws dropped and we feel blessed to have been able to share this platform with such a strong, funny, and empowering woman. Thank you Lexy for your bravery and inspirational words for others who may be struggling with a similar situation. You are a warrior! Side note: (We also included 2 spooky stories following Lexy’s for you guys, so it wouldn’t be a shortened episode this week).

Craving another alien/extraterrestrial episode? We got ya covered! This story includes witness accounts of the 1969 Berkshire UFO sighting, time lapses, and details that will leave you with many questions. To say these stories are MIND BLOWING is an understatement. Hold on to your spacesuit earthling- you’re in for a bumpy ride!
