We're Baaaackkk!! It's the final installment in Stephanie's "Satanic Panic - Recovered Memory - Teal Swan - Cult?" Series! And don't worry, this final episode will tie everything together, in a way you'll never see coming.

****CONTENT WARNING**** Episode contains topics and descriptions of Suicide, Abuse, Self Harm, and Animal Cruelty.

In this final chapter Stephanie dives deeper into Teal's past trauma, abuse, and the therapy she sought as an adult. Along with the descent into her "inner circle", and the controversies she currently faces.

As the hired Private Investigator (main-character energy) Molly says "Is it a cult? ....hard maybe"

Sometimes life gets in the way of even the best laid plans, and that happened to us this week - OOPS!

But we'll never leave you empty handed!

This weeks episode is our most recent "I SEEN'T it!" all about the recent A24 Film "Men". (which also seemed very fitting for the current times)

It's unsettling, it's gross, it's scary, there's peepees out : It's MEN

We'll be back with Pt. 2 of Stephanie's Deep-Dive into Teal Swan next week; same bat-time, same bat-channel.

And, if you like this content there is SO MUCH MORE over on our patreon page. We have 3 different tiers, all with different bonus content.

We're continuing Stephanie's deep dive of topics, and this one is all about the "Spiritual Leader" Teal Swan.

Just to recap: we went from Recovered Memory Therapy, to Satanic Panic, to false allegations, and now we're ending with a current cult leader!

**Content warning for: suicide, abuse, and self harm**

Teal Swan gained notoriety through her popular self-help YouTube videos and courses that taught a method called "The Completion Method". But what she is most known for is her method of dealing with suicidal ideologies. This episode is about her rise to fame, what her teachings are, and how they can turn problematic. And...while it's not an MLM - you can't convince us it's not a cult.

If it looks like a cult, walks like a cult, and quacks like a cult -- it's a cult.

We're continuing the deep dive into Satanic Panic this week, but first!

More ghosts!! The Blennerhassett Hotel in Parkersburg, West Virginia is home to AT LEAST 13 different ghosts. Built back in 1889, this hotel is still standing and operating to this day. Listen as Sarah tells the tales of 10 of the resident ghosts. With a 4.5 star rating of TripAdvisor...would you stay the night in this haunted hotel?? Ding-Ding.

Stephanie wraps up with another installment of Satanic Panic. We discussed how it started, now lets talk about the effects and ultimately the consequences. Biggest consequence of all being that people got all up in arms about Child Satanic Abuse - but all that did was take focus and resources away from actual cases of abuse. Not to mention the poor people wrongly convicted on charges.

And get ready, because next week is the 3rd installment! That's right, Stephanie has more to tell. So don't miss out!

Stephanie is kicking us off with the beginning of a multi-part series! And this first installment is laying the ground work for a big 2-part story. False Memory and Recovered Memory Therapy is where we start, then a book is released called "Michelle Remembers", and we quickly begin the descent into moral panic. Or, as is more widely known, Satanic Panic. Tune in to hear how these points all connect, and keep listening each week as this story unravels.

Sarah wraps up with the ghost (or poltergeist) tale of the Stratford Knockings. In 1850 Stratford Connecticut, a family was plagued for 7 months by an entity that liked to: knock on walls, scream, move things, levitate the children, and create dummies out of the families clothes that would appear when no one was around. And that's just the tip of the activity-iceburg!!

It's Throwback Thursday **airhorn** Both the girls have hectic schedules this week, AND in honor of our 4-year birthday, we have decided to take a week off and bring you an old favorite.

We're throwing it all the way back to Episode 8 "First of All, I Wasn't Even The Killer" In one of our first spine chilling episodes, Stephanie tells the ghostly history of Chillingham Castle while Sarah will scare your pants off with the tale of the Dyatlov Pass Incident.

We hope you enjoy this throwback content, and we'll be back on our regularly scheduled programming next week!!

We've been alternating who has the main story each week, not on purpose, more out of convenience - but: do ya'll like that?

It's Stephanie's turn this week and boy does she have a rollercoaster of a ride for us!!

Sante and Kenny Kimes: a mother/son duo known as one of America's most infamous grifters. They soon moved from the odd con-job and were forced to "tie up some loose ends" if you know what we mean......murder.

Tune in to hear all about these two, their despicable acts, their backstory, and what ultimately put them away.

Sarah went to Cincinnati, Ohio last week and she's here to tell the tale! When visiting a new city, we always recommend partaking in the local ghost tour: these are the stories Sarah learned on her Cincin(nasty) Ghost Tour.

Washington Park - it must be a running theme that every city that has a graveyard/potter's field HAS to name that area "Washington Park". The one in Cincinnati has a vast history, starting as a potter's field, then an orphanage, then a local park with a swimming pool, then they wanted to put in a below ground garage so the bodies buried there had to be moved and.... well, you get the picture. This now gentrified (and albeit very cute) park gets quite scary at night. With voices being heard, footsteps following you when your alone, and a dark entity that has been known to chase people; Washington Park is not just for the living to enjoy.

Bonus points for Cincinnati: there is a bar called Ghost Baby. It's located 5 floors underground in the cellar of the building. It's damp, dark (underground remember?) and has an overall eerie strange feeling. Legend says that when the owners first re-opened the cellar where the bar is now located they heard the faint sound of a baby crying from within the dark. Maybe by naming the bar after the ghost it put it to rest? Go check out Cincinnati and see for yourself!

Big Thanks to Cincinnati Ghost Tours for the lovely evening (and for running tours 7-days of the week!) If you find yourself in Cincinnati check them out: https://usghostadventures.com/cincinnati/

It might be a short episode, but at least it's keeping with the unintended body-part theme.

Can you guess which part of the human anatomy might be the topic this week??

This story comes to us courtesy of Reddit and Shane @Realm Of Unknown. So many questions are raised, that I don't think we'll ever have the answer to, like: how long had the vagina's been on the island? Who put them there? Why are they there? And...are there any 40+ models in the area????

It's an all-Stephanie episode! And she's bringing us an incredibly interesting topic: Breast Implant Illness.

It's exactly what it sounds like, and more and more women are coming forward with their personal experiences.

In this episode Stephanie tells us where breast implants got started (hint: it's Houston), what they're made of, and the whole slew of problems that have accompanied them.

Who would have thought that putting a foreign object in your body might not be the best idea...
