Deadtime Storiez

We have fun here, and hope you, the listenerz, do too. We have some light, lovable fare for you this week. Sarah goes first with two shorter tales. She starts us off talking about the Harbor Chief, a nickname for an aggressive swan in Os, Norway. Known for passionately, albeit somewhat predator-ily protecting the harbor of its small town. At once a mascot for many local businesses, the swan's role fluctuated between a charming sight and a public nuisance. What to do with the would-be-assassin cause more than a little bit of controversy. Sarah's second bit is about the English Philosopher, Jeremy Bentham. It's less about his life and more about the mysterious choices he made about his wishes in death. Wanting to become a self-proclaimed "auto-icon", Bentham wanted his body preserved in a very particular way. He kind of got his wishes? Stephanie rounds us out with the also true story of Mark Whitacre. The highest paid American executive turned whistleblower/FBI informant, Whitacre's time with Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) was short before he began assisting with the investigation of the company's price-fixing scheme. Though he was initially granted full immunity for his cooperation, that was overturned when Mark's own crimes came to light. He was the subject of the book 'The Informant!' as well as the subsequent movie staring Matt Damon. Whitacre's story is bizarre, but entertaining and ultimately sheds light on many important American issues including corporate greed, mental health, and the journey towards forgiveness. If that doesn't end on a note you like, just stick around for the Fetish Five to drop *pun absolutely intended*

Sometimes people make seriously poor decisions, and sometimes people are just terrible. Join us as we talk about a little mix of both on this week’s episode. Stephanie gives the first lesson with the true story of Bowe Bergdahl, an American POW during the war in Afghanistan. Held by the Taliban for five years, the details around Bowe’s disappearance remained a mystery until he was released in 2014. Whether you think he was a hero or a traitor, you’ll be fascinated and enraged by what happened. Sarah follows up with a story that starts with a lot of laughs, but ends pretty horribly. Listener discretion is advised when she shares the real crimes of Danny LePlante. A very troubled teen lead down a dark path that started with minor burglaries and ended in tragedy, Peeping Danny terrorized families in Townsend, MA in the late eighties.

Shortiez making shortiez! This is one of our tighter episodes, but still as informative and fun as ever as we rev up for our livestream this weekend! (Saturday 6/1, not Sunday 6/2 as stated in the show. The plan has changed. I said no cops!) Stephanie starts us off with a little bio on the guy the kids are calling “Eddie AP” aka Edgar Allen Poe. Learn the eerily ordinary origins of the American King of Horror. Why did he have two last names? Why were the women in his wife plagued with tuberculosis? What a time to be alive. Sarah lets us know about a delightfully named ghost in the backward ass state of Alabama by the name of Hugging Molly. The hugs are free, but trust us. You don’t want them. Warn your children.

We love guest episodes! And from our understanding, you do, too! Please welcome back our good (recently married) friend, Teresa “T Nutt” Nutter. Strange and often unfortunate things tend to happen around T Nutt while on vacation. Her recent honeymoon to Europe was no exception. While in Paris, she toured the famous catacombs. Their history is surprisingly un-mystical, but interesting and there sure are a lot of bones. We talk about many of Teresa’s other misadventures, the story behind four thieves cleaner, and make predictions about the Game of Thrones finale (which we know has happened now, but hadn’t at the time of the recording). Join us!

Sometimes the murderer isn’t who you would suspect. But most of the time, it’s exactly who you would expect. Sarah tells us about another true crime in the first story this week. This time it’s right here at home in Pennsylvania at the General Wayne Inn. The tavern hosted many famous historical guests in its time, but more recently it’s known for the murder and subsequent suicide scandal that rocked Merion, PA in the mid-nineties.

The second story this week is the wildest conspiracy you’ve ever heard of, but is it just crazy enough to be true? Stephanie tells us about a famous theory that the entire planet, particularly the US government, has actually been overthrown by lizard people. We know it sounds ridiculous, but just hear us out. You might be convinced.

This week’s episode starts with very light fodder, but the second story is pretty graphic.

Stephanie tells us two shorter anecdotes in the first segment. Did you know there is an entire show about celebrity ghost stories? The aptly titled Celebrity Ghost Stories features some minor and pretty major stars speaking out about their personal experiences with the paranormal. She gives us a little rundown as well as a personal spook story of a doll that may or may not have been possessed during her childhood.

Sarah prepares us for the gory nature of her true crime. One of the most timely of our stories, it’s the murder of Iana Kasian. A former Ukranian tax prosecutor, Kasian migrated to the US in 2014 and began working as a model. Her playboy fianceé, Blake Leibel was charged with her brutal murder in 2018. Sarah gives us the gruesome details.

Wow! We’re finally at fifty episodes! Can you believe it? It’s time to finally announce the tiers and rewards of our Patreon. After a year and forty-nine episodes, we’re asking for your support to keep the show running, and help us create even more incredible content. If you’ve had fun so far, you will love what we have in store.

But girl, it ain’t all business! We have spooky stories for you, too, of course! Stephanie starts us off with a little history on the recently passed ghost hunting legend, Lorraine Warren. She and her late husband, Ed, famously investigated many hauntings and possessions around the world. A huge number of their cases later became Hollywood films, many with a multi-picture franchise. Hear some the truth behind some of your favorite horror classics. Sarah brings us back a little bit to E34: There Can Be 100 People In A Room and the mystery behind Elisa Lam’s death. Her newest theory is a game gone horribly wrong. The internet will tell you how to play, but also that you shouldn’t.

One of my favorite headlines for this week’s first story is this: “Some in Wylie don’t know of 1980 ax slaying; others can’t forget.” Sarah tells us of a bizarre case from the town where she went to high school. Yes, it was an ax murder. Yes, the murderer is known. And yes, they got away with it. Stephanie follows up with a strange, but very plausible theory about one of your childhood favorites being a kid killer. Willy Wonka is a beloved candy maker. Is he also a psychotic, methodical child murderer? The signs all point to yes. Find out more by tuning into this week’s episode.

Our second contender for that Numba One Spot is Stephanie's college best friend and follower from episode one, Kristina Dorsett. Visiting from Raleigh, NC, she tells her own personal experience with the Maco Light, a friend's personal ghost story, and culminates it all with the chilling true story behind The Staircase. The unsolved murder of Kathleen Peterson has left many speculating over the years. The murder weapon was never found. The stories didn't add up. The media circus and defense trial left more questions than answers. Maybe the truth has finally been revealed. You won't want to miss this episode!

AKA: Pyrite At Best

We’re always excited to have guests here at the show, but the next two episodes are a long time coming. One our self proclaimed Number 1 fans are coning to prove their loyalty. First is the only sister of either host, Gail-Marie Kernisan is here. Stephanie’s big sister was in town to see her one woman show, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring her on the podcast. She gained tumblr fame for her Captain America slash, and now she’s here to slash at your insides with some creepy stories from back home. Join us for a hell of a good time.
