In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most enduring and bizarre legends in rock history: the claim that Paul McCartney secretly died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike. From backward messages hidden in vinyl grooves to cryptic album covers and lyrical “clues,” we explore how a college-campus rumor spiraled into a global conspiracy theory that still fascinates Beatles fans today.

Join us as we unpack where the myth began, why it spread so quickly, and what it reveals about fame, grief, symbolism, and the human desire to find meaning in the mysterious. Is it all just a clever hoax, an early form of fandom puzzle-solving—or something stranger?

A house of mythic proportions located in a town racked with accusations and death. A sea captain using his ill gotten wealth to build a status symbol. A judge out for blood to steal his neighbors’ land. An heiress who in a time of war finds new wealth and freedom. A writer wracked with guilt and suffering. A curse uttered on the way to the gallows by an innocent accused of witchcraft. All of this sounds like a gothic novel. And while all of this inspired of America’s great gothic romances it is all part of the history of the home which inspired it. Today we cover Salem’s House of the Seven Gables

You've been begging for it and now we're giving it to you! The recording of our very first live show: Amityville LIVE! We're definitely releasing this because you all have been begging for it and not all all because October was a VERY long month, and we're VERY tired, and we decided to take a weekend off for ourselves and go touch grass and visit friends. Not that at all. Really guys, this show was so much fun. If you think we've covered the whole story in Episode 2 then you need to think again. In this live show we break new ground with all new information, all new theories, and all new jokes. This is one you'll love watching over and over again. So sit back, relax, and watch us do our thing LIVE (at time of recording), IN PERSON (at time of recording), and FUNNIER THAN EVER (before, during, and after time of recording).

This week we're hitting close to home! We're discussing the Ghost Bomber of Pittsburgh! This B-25 bomber went down in the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh in 1956 leading to a two week long recovery mission. But, the notoriously nebby Pittburghers wondered why officials were searching for a plane which they had seen recovered under the cover of darkness the night of the crash. This has led to 60 years of conspiracies. Who was on that plane? What was on that plane? Who recovered it? Find out in this week's episode!

Hello Corkies! We hope you’re ready for this one. It truly may be our wildest episode. Ever. Period. In the second part of the story of Ed Gein, Paul takes us through the gruesome discoveries police made at his farm. The descriptions nearly sent DJ into a fainting spell. And then Paul discusses the case, the legacy, and the theories that have followed in Gein’s wake. While this one isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s also one that you’d hate to miss!

People always ask me "Glinda, are people born wicked or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?" And I say "I don't know, and my name isn't Glinda, it's Galinda" BUT Paul attempts to answer this hard hitting questions as he tells us the story Ed Gein. This man had a truly horrifying early life that lived up to the horrors it would be discovered that he committed. But, we're getting ahead of ourselves. If you wanna hear the facts behind Netflix's Monster: the Ed Gein Story then you're gonna want to listen in. Sit back, relax, and get ready to be horrified!

This week on Crypts and Corks, we pour a warm cup of sake and journey into the mysterious world of the kitsune, one of the most iconic and enigmatic figures in Japanese folklore.
Far more than just magical foxes, kitsune are shapeshifting yokai said to possess intelligence, long life, and supernatural powers. But are they divine messengers of the rice god Inari—or mischievous spirits weaving illusions and playing tricks on the unwary? So light a lantern, follow the sound of laughter in the woods, and join us for a tale of magic, transformation, and the fine art of fox-born deception.

Be sure to buy tickets to our Oct. 11 Live Show on Haunted Pittsburgh: https://www.eventcreate.com/e/crypts-and-corks-podcast-haunted-pittsburgh
