Deadtime Storiez

It's the last episode of 2020!!! FINALLY!! We don't know about ya'll, but us at Deadtime Storiez are 5000% ready to put this year behind us. In fact, we're so ready to be done with it, we coerced Kristina to come be a guest this week!! (JK - she came on very willingly)

Tune in to hear Kristina regale us with a North Carolina ghost story and her own personal experiences as an Empath.

Thanks for being with us through this crazy year - we couldn't do it without every single one of you!

Merry Christmas ya filthy animalz!!! 2020 is almost over, and believe us when we say "we are ready to burn it to the ground!" This week is our Christmas / Holiday episode and in honor of the good cheer - we have 2 really fun storiez!!

**spoiler - no one was harmed this week in the deadtime storiez**

Sarah starts us off with some different holiday traditions from all around the world. Wholesome, right? Don't worry - everything always finds its way around to the butt in Sarah's storiez, and this week is no exception. From Caganers to Kentucky Fried Chicken, we promise these storiez will have something for everyone.

Stephanie finishes off our holiday spirit with one wild ride about a "happy?" couple: Mike and Dalia Dippolito. From a quick marriage, to anonymous tips, to a hit-man : we're 5000% sure you're going to love this tale.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays! Tune in next week for our last episode of 2020!!!

It's "Jimmy Jr & The Jonestown Massacre - The Final Chapter"

This episode is light on banter and heavy on story, so heavy in fact, that we are ONLY covering Jonestown this week! That's right... Ya'll Ready to Talk About Some Jonestown???

Its the 2nd and final installment on Sarah's retelling of Jim Jones (aka Jimmy Jr), The Peoples Temple, and finally Jonestown itself. To describe this story as a hell of a ride would be an understatement. So, buckle up and remember: Don't Drink The Kool-Aid*

**DISCLAIMER** This episode contains audio recordings from the evening of the massacre - it might be disturbing for some audiences.

*actually...it's flavor-aid

We did it ya'll!! We think this is officially our longest (without a guest) episode EVER! And that's because this week is LOADED with storiez.

Stephanie starts us off with the unsolved mystery of the Somerton (or is it Summertime?) Man. A man is found deceased on a beach in Australia -- and that's literally all we know. Who is he, what was he doing there, and most importantly - how warm was it because it's summer??

AND, if you listened last week then you know what Sarah has in store for us: Jimmy Jr. & The Jonestown Massacre, Pt. 1

This story has so many layers and twists and turns that it's going to take multiple episodes to do it justice. Part 1 tells us a brief summary of Jonestown and the Peoples Temple before diving into the childhood of Jim Jones (aka Jimmy Jr.) himself. Jimmy Jr. started out weird ya'll....just take a listen to find out HOW weird that was -- and how it could inevitably lead to him being a leader of a massive American cult.

Up in the sky - it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a ...dinosaur??

That's right, this week Stephanie is telling us all about the most recent dinosaur sightings in the US! Specifically sightings of a "Pterosaur", and even more specifically it's usually spotted while you're waiting at the bus stop. Dinosaurs might sound like a thing of the past, but apparently there's still some flying among us. It's slightly more probable than unicorns (only slightly).

Sarah finishes the episode with the unsolved murder of the Mills family. A wife, husband, and daughter are murdered execution style and the murderer remains unknown. Could this have had something to do with their ties to The Peoples Temple?? Maybe....which leads us to - NEXT WEEK ON DEADTIME STORIEZ - Sarah is going to be bringing you the story of the Jonestown Massacre. Stay tuned because you won't want to miss it!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! We here at Deadtime Storiez are most thankful for YOU, our listenerz! This has been a year of trials, hard times, uncertainty, and downright scary circumstances; but this show has been a small ray of positive for us and hopefully all of ya'll as well.

Hey --- we're proud of ya'll!!!

This week Sarah brings us 4 short Thanksgiving true crime storiez. Storiez that will hopefully make you glad to be quarantined and away from the family this year. And Stephanie wraps up by telling us about her latest game obsession "Among Us". Even though the game came out a few years ago, it has gained popularity in 2020 - and for good reason. Find out why this game might be the next best way to spend time with the ones who aren't "among us".

We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday. Eat good food, take care of yourselves, and WEAR A MASK!

Don't adjust your dial, you're not going crazy - it's another guest week!!! We just can't get enough of our guests lately, can ya'll? And this week we're happy to welcome the host of Octoberpod Home Video - Edward October!!!!!

You've heard his promo before, and now you're going to hear his personal experiences growing up in (well, actually he lived in a town about 20 mins outside of this city, but no one knows that town so he just says he grew up there, and...) Abingdon, Virginia!!!

Ed brings us stories from the Martha Washington Hotel, The Barter Theatre, and The Tavern. Sarah had previously covered the hotel and theatre in E63, but Ed delivers that personal touch to these haunted locations that we love!

Once you're caught up on our show, be sure to hop over to Youtube to check out Octoberpod VHS -- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZQk-oAsjZNG18y8bX24c6w and his website -- https://www.octoberpodvhs.com/

Let's support our other spooky shows ya'll, cause remember - it's a pod-eat-pod world out there.

The climate of American democracy still hangs in the air... but at least you can count on your favorite duo to keep bringing the ghost (and fart) storiez!! Things might be uncertain in the world, but we certainly have some spoooky storiez lined up this week.

Stephanie starts us off with a good ol'fashioned ghost story. Don't worry, she's not "gassing" us up: Miss Molly's Hotel in Ft. Worth Texas is as haunted as it gets - but don't take Stephanie's word for it - take Ke$sha's! (She stayed there and told her tale in the show "The Haunting of: Ke$sha").

Sarah ends the episode with a true crime tale that is scary based on facts alone - but the fact that the narrative is from someone who knew the victim makes it that much spookier. Big thanks to Reddit (as always) for being a platform that let's people tell their stories; but also thanks to the user who shared this story. The mystery of what exactly happened to Joshua Maddux is still unknown; though at the end of this episode, we're pretty sure you'll have a good idea of who did it (just not the how or why...)

The end of 2020 is near!! And it's turning out to be one of the scariest ends to a crazy year (we're looking at you 2020 US Presidential election). Thankfully we have this wonderful show, and YOU our listenerz, to help us focus on better scary things :)

Sarah brings us the tale of Mercy Brown, New England's Last Vampire. After Consumption ravaged his family, George Brown would go to extensive (and odd, and kinda gross) measures to try and save his remaining child.

Stephanie wraps up with the INSANE story of the cult/MLM/sex ring that is (was?) NXIVM. This tale checks ALL of the boxes ya'll; and we're sure you'll be just as surprised as us that we hadn't heard of it.
