Deadtime Storiez

Like the title says, this week it's all about Philly storiez! (And we didn't even plan that!!)

**CONTENT WARNING**

Sarah starts us out with a story that is gross, disturbing, and absurd - it's the true crime tale of Philly's most notorious pervert: Ed Savitz aka Uncle Eddie aka Fast Eddie. Ed Savitz solicited young boys for goods (? we'll go with that) and sexual favors. He was known around the neighborhood for paying large amounts for these things, and he operated (?sure, we'll go with that phrase too) for almost 20 years before finally being caught.

Stephanie wraps up the episode with another true crime case located right in Philadelphia, in the Manayunk neighborhood. However this case is still active and potentially re-opening. Ellen Greenberg was found unresponsive one evening in the apartment she shared with her fiance. And when we say 'found unresponsive' - she was found with a knife in her chest...but minimal, to almost no blood splatter or mess. The police ruled it a suicide, but the family disagrees (and in our opinion the facts don't line up). Ellen's family has sued the Philadelphia Police Department to re-open Ellen's case. That suit will go to court this year.

If you want to find out more information about Ellen's case, or how to help the family just search #justiceforellen

We'll be continuing to follow this case and will post updates as we find out about them.

BONUS BONUS BONUS - it's the first episode of our brand new bonus series (and the announcement of the name!)So without further ado, the new $10 tier on patreon will feature the exclusive new series:

What That Ghost Do? *cue airhorn noise*

This series is a different spin on our original bonus content "I SEEN'T It" and in "What That Ghost Do?" Sarah will be retelling episodes of Ghost Adventures to Stephanie! Starting at Season 1 Episode and continuing through all 24 seasons!! (or...whenever she gets sick of it, let's be honest).

So buckle up and get ready, cause the first episode is all about Bobby Mackey's Music World in Kentucky.

If you enjoyed this episode, we will be posting each new episode monthly on our patreon page: www.patreon.com/deadtimestoriez

AND if you sign up for the $10 tier, you'll also receive all of the bonus content on the tiers below (it's a win-win!)

It's here - it's banter - get used to it! Well, at least 6 minutes of it anyway; cause we don't want the WHOLE episode to be banter - we want to get on with the storiez!

This week Sarah is bringing us a true crime tale she found on reddit. The write up she found tells the case in the best way possible - so we would like to give a big THANK YOU to the original author: r/TheBonesOfAutumn

Leona Disseldorf was a 70 year old retired school teacher who went missing and was later discovered at the bottom of a well. With no family, or real friends around her; the case of who murdered Leona and why remains unsolved to this day.

Stephanie wraps up the episode with another true crime case!! But this one is quite the doozy - is it a murder, is it manslaughter, just homicide?? Either way, someone dies and you don't really like anyone involved in the story. Take a listen to the interesting case of Sharon Lopatka and let us know how you feel.

Thanks again to reddit user r/TheBonesOfAutumn -- if you're interested, they are a true crime writer and you can find their work on reddit.

It's been a week since ya'll heard us last - but for us it's only been 24 hours. And what a 24 hours it's been!

Like most places in the U.S.A right now, we're covered in snow/ice/just plain cold weather. So, Sarah was inspired by the icy tundra that is currently Philadelphia to tell the story of the Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888. Also known as the Children's Blizzard of 1888; the entire midwest US was taken by surprise when an beautiful sunny day in January turned into a raging nightmare within a matter of hours. *WARNING: Child Death*

Thankfully Stephanie's story is less icy cold, and she tells the tale of Carlina White. A woman who found out her past isn't quite what she thought it was. *WARNING: NO Child Death*

To all of our listenerz down in southern USA (lookin at you Texas) we hope that ya'll are doing well, and staying warm. If you need anything please reach out to us - @deadtimestoriez or [email protected]

Buckle up for some banter ya'll!!! We're two chatty-cathy'z this week, talking 'bout life, movies, AND ... some scary storiez!

Stephanie starts us off with the tale of Jennifer Pan (no relation to Peter). Where a tiger king ...... wait, that's not right.... where tiger PARENTING leads down a path of destruction that no one saw coming.

Sarah cleanses the palate a bit with the story of the Persian Princess. A mummy found selling on the black market for $11 million holds more secrets than any one could have imagined. But don't worry, no MLM's (mummy laundering markets) were used or supported in this tale.

New Bit - Same Show! Well...actually...no new bits yet. What would you like to hear?? Let us know!

Have you ever had the feeling that you've lived multiple lifetimes? Stephanie's story this week tells us all about children who have exhibited signs of reincarnation. I've always wanted to live right on the beach: maybe I at least did it in a past life?

It might be February, but Sarah is sticking with her ghost-storiez-ONLY theme! This week is all about Thornhaven Manor in New Castle, Indiana. Once a family estate, this now paranormal hotspot is brimming with ghostly activity. Disembodied screams, footsteps, cold spots, EVPs, and some great thermal imaging captures will ensure that any visit to Thornhaven Manor will be an experience.

This year is starting off strong ya'll and so are our storiez! Last week Stephanie told us the insane story of the Hicks Babies and teased that this week's story would be linked....but we had NO IDEA what we were in store for. This week's tale is all about Melinda Dawson (a Hicks Baby - you might recognize her from her episode of Maury), a murder, and some clever DNA gathering.

Sarah wraps up the episode with......you guessed it! Another ghost story!! Unintentionally also located in Montana, The Dumas Brothel is not only the longest running brothel in America, it's also haunted AF. Two floors of spooks accompanied by an entire basement of underground tunnels, it would almost be a shame if it didn't have some ghosts.

As always - we LOVE to hear from YOU!! Shoot us an email, reach out via social media, send a smoke signal, WHATEVER - and let us know what you think!

Can you believe we're already at 140 episodes?!? Man time flies when you're in a pandemic. But that's scary enough - let's get to this weeks storiez.

Sarah starts us off with another ghost story!! (You might have noticed a theme here - and it's: Sarah's going to do ghost storiez until she gets bored with them and needs something different) This week it's all about the Hotel Metlen in Dillon, Montana. A hotel that's had someone die in almost every room is basically required to have some ghosts. And the Hotel Metlen does NOT disappoint.

Stephanie wraps things up with the incredibly unsettling, and sad, story of The Hicks Babies. Who was Dr. Hicks and why was he selling babies out of the back door of his clinic? We may never know his exact motives, but some of the victims can find answers. This story is fascinating and disturbing all at the same time. You're Welcome?

Not much banter this week, because these stories are just too good.

Sarah eases us into the episode with the story of the haunted Hellfire Caves in Wycombe, England. A man-made cave system that was dug to house the Hellfire Club, these caves hosted some wild and crazy parties and apparently now hosts some ghosts!!

Stephanie then hits us real hard with the story of the disappearance, and murder, of Skylar Neese. On the outside they were a trio of besties, but on the inside more devious plots were being hatched. The moral of this tale is the teenage girls are the fucking worst.

Hey Dookie-Buttz!! New Year - Same Show here! But this year we have some big goals, and want some input from ya'll -- what new content would you like??

To start the year off, Stephanie has a weird world story for us: Marla Olmstead. A four year old whose love of painting catapulted them into sudden fame. Was she a prodigy, or just a little girl bonding with her dad -- you decide.

To wrap things up, Sarah is taking us back to our roots with a good ol' Pennsylvania ghost story! It's the tale of the Hill View Manor in New Castle, PA. Any kind of ghost activity you could possibly want: they have it! Friendly ghosts, kid ghosts, EVPs, phantom footsteps - this place has it all!! ** Plus - it just might be the location of a very big Deadtime Storiez episode **

We are excited to start another year with ya'll and can't wait to see what 2021 holds. As always - please reach out with suggestions, storiez, or just to say HI --- we love hearing from you.
