Perhaps one of the first urban legends of the Internet, the Black Eyed Children have been terrorizing the general population since the 90s with their soulless, black eyes. Shay tells us a few stories about these entities, and she and Jen try to figure out if they're ghosts, vampires, radiation survivors, or just a group manifestation.

Now let's explore.

Sarah Kathryn Boone is a 42-year-old Florida native and in February 2020 she was accused of stuffing her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., into a suitcase, forgetting him, going to sleep, and waking up to his dead body still in the suitcase in her living room.

Sarah is now facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of Jorge Torres Jr., who died after being zipped into a suitcase and left inside the suitcase for hours unable to breathe, according to Orange County investigators. We are getting close to the 3-year mark and the trial has been moved a few times. The latest update is for Boone to appear before a judge for a pretrial hearing on January 17, 2023, at 9 am. 

So the question remains, was Sarah scorned by a cheating boyfriend, or maybe it was the alcohol use that night or was it really a hide-and-seek accident? Whatever it was, Sarah is a horrible liar and can’t keep her story straight. The lies are so baseless, it just makes you feel angry, and baffled nonstop and will incite a deep claustrophobic pain for what Jorge endured during his final moments of life. So, let’s explore this case together.

On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975. And while that should be the end to a very upsetting true crime case, it isn't. At least, not as far as the paranormal is concerned.

Join Shay and Jen as they are educated by Jane and Deklan on the horrible murders and insane hauntings that plagued 112 Ocean Avenue.

Darrell Edward Brooks Jr., 40, was a real-life villain and was convicted on October 26, 2022, of six counts of first-degree intentional homicide and 70 other counts related to the Waukesha Christmas Parade on November 21, 2021. He killed six people when he drove his SUV into the parade and faces six life sentences. Brooks had pleaded not guilty and represented himself during the trial. At the time of the parade, Brooks was out on $1,000 cash bail related to charges filed earlier in November in Milwaukee County. Brooks was charged with punching and running over the mother of his child. The district attorney has said his low bail was a mistake. According to court documents, a jury trial for Brooks remains scheduled for Dec. 12 on charges related to that case.

Elizabeth Diane Downs shot her three children on a dark, remote road near Springfield, Oregon, in May 1983. Around this time, she had an affair with a very cute and very married man named Lew Lewiston who not only refused to leave his wife despite the affair but had zero interest in having children. 

Are the murder and affair related? We’ll see.

On September 17, 2009, just after 3 pm, the four bodies belonging to Mark Niederbrock, Debra S. Kelley, and their daughter Emma Niederbrock were all found with Emma's friend, Melanie Wells bludgeoned to death at the Niederbrock home at 505 First Ave in Farmville Virginia. The bodies were discovered only three days after Emma, Melanie, and an online friend, Richard had all gone to a Horrorcore concert. It seemed like such a random slaying, but the shaky rationale becomes obvious upon further investigation.
