Crime, Cults, & Coffee

If you remember, we talked soooo long the last time we covered spooky places (Episode 14) that we had to cut it in half! This is part 2 of 2 and we cover the stories of the Amityville Horror House and Turnbull Canyon. We chose these places without knowledge of each other's choices. Listen to hear about the eerie tales and murders that come along with these two haunted (or cursed?) locations.

Skylar Neese was a typical teenage girl, with atypical friends. Everything changed in 2012 when she snuck out of her bedroom window and was never seen again. Police relied on clues from security cam footage, social media posts, and classmate statements to paint the picture of what happened to Skylar. This episode will make you wonder if you ever REALLY know someone.

Strange water, eerie CCTV, a potentially cursed hotel, and a missing girl. This case leaves us with more questions than answers. Buckle your seat belts and hold onto your coffee because this is a wild one. Make sure to listen to the end of this episode for our first listener story!

Jamie Silvonek was an average American teenager- she frequently posted on social media, enjoyed going to concerts, and was interested in finding a love life. But unlike your typical teen, her story soon turned dark and calculated. How does a story of young love turn into a horrible family tragedy? Listen to find out.

Manipulation, extortion, and terrible leadership skills. Three ways to sum up Episode 12. While this cult was short lived, it did unimaginable damage to the innocent victims involved. The concept of a cult may seem far fetched to some, but the disturbing part of it all is the fact that there are still active cults today. 

Do you believe in aliens? Many of you may have heard of Area 51, but not the full history, or ins and outs of it. In this episode, we do a deep dive on not only how this government owned property began, but the theories and stories told by those who claimed to have insider information. After hearing Episode 11 we wanna know, would you storm Area 51 to find more answers?

*TRIGGER WARNING: this episode includes violence against children*

Following last week's episode we have another mind blowing narrative coming at you from the 70's. Just when you thought things couldn't get any more twisted, the kidnapping of Steven Stayner came along. This case includes a small town that housed both an American hero and serial killer. Listen to hear this unforgettable and harrowing story.

It all started with an innocent newspaper advertisement offering babysitting services. In the 1970s, "latchkey kids” was a popular term and it wasn’t common for children to just vanish without a trace. This episode includes a bone chilling audio recording from 45 years ago that was released to the public LAST YEAR. Even with a team of badass investigators, certain mysteries regarding Margaret Ellen Fox remain in question.

PSA: Happy Birthday Brynne!

CALLING ALL WITCHES: This one's for you!
