In 1959, the town of Holcomb, Kansas was a quiet farming community. People left their doors unlocked because nothing really bad ever happened there. But all that changed on November 15 when the Clutter family was found brutally murdered inside their two-story farmhouse. The motive wasn’t clear. Was it a revenge killing? A robbery gone wrong? Maybe a serial killer?  Detectives sifted through hundreds of tips before receiving a call from a prison inmate who claimed he knew who killed the Clutters. Truman Capote read an article about the murders in the New York Times and decided he needed to tell the story in his own words. Over the next five years, he’d immerse himself in the community of Holcomb and try to understand the mind of a killer. In doing so, he formed unexpected friendships and created what he called the first non-fiction novel. “In Cold Blood” was published to wide acclaim, but it didn’t come without its own set of drawbacks. Capote would never be the same, and neither would Holcomb. Tune in to learn how this gruesome tragedy helped shaped the true crime genre as we know it.  Happy haunting!

Happy Friday, coven! This week takes us on a wild adventure. We have animal travel - cats being shipped and dogs flying on airplanes. Speaking of airplanes, did y'all know there are people in charge of coordinating caskets flying across the world and sometimes they mess up their job?! We delve into the true crime world, with an abduction (and thankful recovery) of a 10 month old baby, and the disappearance and murder of 3 surfers in Mexico. This week sadly also brings about another pedophile teacher and continues to reaffirm our thoughts that the safest place to be is sitting on your couch. Before things get too dark, we'll talk about some of our fave cryptids including Ogopogo, Bigfoot, and Cheeseball Man. We've got something for everyone this week, so be sure to tune in! 
Happy Haunting!

Coven, this week is a big one for halee and Lisey. It's rare that we're wrong... and it's even more rare that we would admit that we're wrong. But this week we may just be ready to admit that we were wrong about orbs! After hearing a spooky and intriguing tale, halee took a deep dive into orbs and found that the blurry 'orb' photos we see online are truly misrepresenting this fascinating phenomenon. In today's episode we'll take a trip all around the world to hear about spooklights, will-o'-the-wisps, and all kinds of mysterious lights with possibly otherworldly origins. Are they the spirits of deceased loved ones, trying to communicate? Are they portals to another dimension? Are they the bellies of owls who have consumed too much bioluminescent fungi? Tune in and you be the judge!
Happy Haunting!

Do you dream of finding old bones? Have you ever thought about joining your favorite podcast on a bone hunting expedition? Does the mere thought give you  a boner? Dude, same. Maybe one day. In the meantime, join us as we uncover the latest bone-chilling,  ooky spooky news. Okay, enough bone puns. They're not humerus. STOP. This week we'll talk about a potential human sacrifice made to a family of sasquatch, pirate bones uncovered in the UK, the world's worst niece who brought her dead uncle to the bank and potential AI imagery used in a true crime documentary. Halee has her tarot read fireside on the beach and learns she's destined to remain the bad bitch that she is. Happy haunting!

Where today stands a charming tourist town, Jerome, Arizona was once the "wickedest town in America." Bordellos and saloons served up drinks and disease to the miners who frequented them. And when the mines inevitably became too much, the smelter spit them out with the trash - literally. Jerome's streets run red with blood, harboring memories of the past in every nook and corner. We'll uncover ghosts inside the Connor and Grand Hotel, formerly the United Verde Hospital. Elise provides her own on the ground research after enjoying an ooky spooky ghost tour inside Jerome's very own cemetery. Tune in to learn all about America's "first ghost city" and learn why Jerome holds a special place in Elise's heart. Happy Haunting!

It's hard to Live, Laugh, Love when there's just so much bullshit going on, Coven! Ruby Franke's husband claims Jodi Hildebrandt is actually possessed by the devil. Don't do Satan dirty like that! Rogue sasquatches turn out to be really tall runners who move more fluidly than most? And slippery thieves pelt bananas at a helpless attendant (who we'll discover isn't so helpless through the help of a little reading comprehension.) Things get a bit frisky as we uncover reports of shaved cats in the UK, and a rogue saw blade reminds us all that death is truly lurking around every corner. Happy Haunting!

In the late 1970s, a strange group of folks arrived on Vashon Island, WA. Seemingly overnight, 60 men, women and children set up military tents and portapotties and got to work transforming 58 acres of pristine coastal forest into a religious commune.  Under the direction of their charismatic leader Lou, and his surly wife Mary Lou, the Wesleyan Cult built homes and a life for their community on their private compound.  Rumors swirled around town as islanders wondered what this new group was up to. As we find out this week, it was much weirder and more sinister than anyone could've imagined.
In this week's episode, we have the absolute honor and privilege of interviewing Deb Donner, survivor of the Wesleyan Cult. Deb will walk us through her experience with the cult from the beginnings of the group, to the cult fleeing Illinois and arriving on Vashon, all the way to her courageous escape. Please join us in bearing witness to Deb's incredible story of survival and strength.
Happy Haunting!

Coven, this is the week of people on their worst behavior! Starting with a modern day witch and her crystal ball (of meth) and ending with a variable potpourri of the worst parents we’ve ever heard of, our faith in humanity may be wavering. We learn about Elise’s pedo high school teacher using AI to victimize children, and we get updates on a few recent stories we’ve covered. Before things get too dark, we revisit a trusted favorite- our dearest Bigfoot. You know Elise is excited. Tune in for all that and more on this week’s news roundup!
Happy Haunting!

We're not the only shit show this week, Coven. There's a veritable smorgasbord of shit in the news, and conspiracy theories are at the forefront. Across the pond, the Royal Family is missing its most beautiful member - Princess Kate. Is she alive? Is there a divorce looming? Is she simply taking time to improve her photoshop skills? Who can say. The conspiracies are more nefarious on this side of the pond, with a Boeing whistleblower supposedly killing himself mere days before his deposition. Self-inflicted gunshot wound? Doubtful. Scott Peterson is once again trying to prove his innocence, and he's not the only pig making headlines. One Kevin Bacon was found prowling the streets in search of doughnuts and  marshmallows. Will he find them? There's all that and more in this week's news update! Happy Haunting!
