This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie & Michelle look at creepy cases of phrogging…

What’s phrogging? It’s when people live in your house without you knowing about it… Think Bad Ronald – or the time James and Britney Campbell went on holiday only to return to find someone living in their house. Thing is – he’d been living there BEFORE THEY WENT AWAY. Listen now to find out about this disturbing case, as well as a horrible hotel murder, plus the time a 93 year old woman thought she had a racoon under her floorboards – but it weren’t no racoon, m’am! 

Michelle follows with the story of Mauricio Guerrero who fell hard for an Only Fans content creator called Rachel Nunez. Kind and polite, Rachel was friendly to Mauricio, who quickly became obsessed by Rachel, to the point that he broke into her house with snacks and lived in her attic – without her knowing! Listen now to find out about the case, alongside the even more disturbing case of Daniel Laplante who lived in the walls of Tina Bowen’s house before his true nature was revealed…

This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie & Michelle look at vampires - and clowns - and murder…

When Rockhampton teenager Tracey Wigginton became interested in the occult and witchcraft, no one could have predicted what would come next. Obsessed with idea of 'feeding on blood', over the next years Tracey began to explore drinking the blood of animals before eventually wanting to drink the blood of humans. What followed was a horror show. Dubbed the Australian Lesbian Vampire Killer, Tracey and her circle of friends abducted and murdered 47 year old Edward Baldock while Tracey drank his blood. Listen now to discover what happened to Tracey and her friends and why Tracey gives goths a bad name...

Geordie follows with a perplexing look at the Gorbals vampire hunt of 1954. When a group of kids in Glasgow reported seeing a 7ft vampire with iron teeth who supposedly had killed two local children, the kids decided to hunt down this vampire in the local cemetery. The result? A moral panic that led to the censorship and banning of comic books and a terrifying siege on a traveller family. Geordie also discusses the disturbing 1973 incident of The Sandown Clown on the Isle of Wight. Called All Colours Sam, was this strange being a weird clown, an alien or was it all just strange folklore? Listen now to find out!

This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie & Michelle look at a hottie conspiracy theorist and the suave hijacker DB Cooper...

What happened to UFO hunter and world-renowned British conspiracy theorist Maxwell Bates Spiers? Handsome, high energy and full of wacky theories, Max was and in-demand speaker and panelist all over the world on subjects as diverse as UFOs, the paranormal and political conspiracy theories. So when he died suddenly in Poland in 2016 at a friend’s home, the conspiracy theories turned inwards, fuelled by poor police work from the Polish authorities and a mysterious text from Max to his mother. Was he murdered? Was foul play involved? Or did he die from dodgy Xanax? Listen now to Geordie’s deep dive.

Michelle follows with the mysterious mystery of DB Cooper. In 1971, Dan Cooper paid 20 bucks at Portland airport for a flight to Seattle and boarded a Northwest Orient flight wearing a dark suit, a tie with a tie clip and an attache case. He ordered some booze, lit up a cig and then handed one of the flight attendants a note saying he wanted 200,000 US dollars, 4 parachutes and that he had a bomb in his bag. What ensued was quiet chaos. Dan jumped out of the plane, clutching the money, and was never seen again. So what happened to DB Cooper? Who the hell is Dan Cooper? And where's the money? Listen now to hear Michelle discuss recent thoughts and theories.

This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie & Michelle look at a sexy AI app gone rogue and an experiment that took a spooky turn ...

Do you think you could fall in love with a chatbot? In 2017, an AI companion app called Replika was created and it was way more successful than anyone could have imagined. It started off as a way for its creator to deal with grief and ended up being a bit too sexy for the authorities to handle. People were falling in love. People were getting spicy selfies. And then an update wiped it all away, with people's 'Reps' effectively lobotomised overnight - with devastating results. Listen now to Michelle discussing the rise and fall of Replika.

Geordie follows with a look at a 1970s experiment that posed the question: can you create a ghost through sheer belief? When Dr A.R. George Owen decided to gather his students together to see if a group of people could invent a ghost, he wasn't prepared for the results. They created a backstory for the made-up apparition, called him Philip Aylesford - they even went to England to the town they decided he had lived in and then... a few ouija boards and seances later, the ghost of Philip Aylesford appeared. What the huh? Listen now to find out more - and to discover what a tulpa is!

This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie & Michelle look at some really bad habits...

Would you eat a live cat? Tarrare did. And if you don't know who Tarrare is, he was only the grossest man alive in France in the 1700s. With an insatiable appetite and a stench that lingered, Tarrare was an unpleasant anomaly whose legend lives on. More than that, he had stretchy mouth that could fit a dozen eggs in it, he ate live cats and maybe even nibbled dead people. Geordie takes a deep dive into this human house of horrors...

Michelle follows with a look at some strange eating habits starting with Lisa the crazy cat lady. Not only does she love cats, but she also loves licking them - and eating their fur. Listen now to find out if Lisa gets furballs... Michelle also looks at three ladies in the UK who love to munch on sponges, and a pair of twins who respectively enjoy eating candles and old books. Listen to their stories and Michelle's hot takes on pica...

It's another rough ride on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, as Geordie and Michelle look at two Australian hometown murders…  

When two dirt-bike riders found human bones in the Belanglo State Forest in Australia, 2010, police were stumped. Who was this woman? Had anyone reported

this Jane Doe as missing? Five years later, an unsuspecting motorist found a body in a suitcase on the side of the road in South Australia and once again police were confounded by the victim’s identity. So - who were these victims? Was anyone looking for them? Were they connected? This week, Michelle delves into both cases and uncovers the grim details behind the murders of Karlie and Khandalyce Pearce.

Geordie follows with a look at the unsolved case of murdered Australian woman, Rachelle Childs. When a burning body was found on a beach near Gerroa in New South Wales, Australia, in 2001, the remains were quickly identified as belonging to car-dealership worker Rachelle Childs. Police, friends and family were shocked and confused buy the grim discovery – who would want to kill Rachelle? As the subject of a new podcast series called Dear Rachelle, Geordie digs into the case and reveals the number one suspect who potentially has gotten away with murder. Listen to find out more!

It's a rough ride on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, as Geordie and Michelle look at bad cults…  

If you were a child with scholastic issues or behavioural problems in the early 1980s in the UK, you might have been sent to a Red House alternative education facility. The brochures told of an idyllic boarding school where children who had suffered abuse or neglect at home could thrive in an environment where sailing and horse riding were interspersed with reading, writing and arithmetic. The reality was that the Red House schools were institutions where children were regularly beaten, humiliated, sexually abused and forced into slave labour. Listen now for Geordie's deep dive into Red House schools, the Danish founding organisation Tvind and a discussion about why it was a cult hiding in plain sight...  

Michelle follows with a look at a harrowing New Zealand cult called Gloriavale. Tucked away on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island is a religious group that was meant to be a spiritual utopia - the men worked, the women raised kids and everyone lived by the word of god and shared the spoils of communal labour. On paper, Gloriavale sounds like a dream - but it's a cult, where men are in control and women are trained to submit, serve and stay silent. Who started this cult? How is it off the international radar? And is the cult still going now? Listen to find out.

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about Steiner Schools, Geordie's celeb Young Ones moment, Michelle's celeb encounter with a top pop star at LAX, a guardian angel encounter from Eavesdropper Steph, plus a near miss love triangle with a Hollywood A-Lister from Eavesdropper Roxanne and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle look at aliens, strange space debris and would-be martians…  

On the 1st of December, 1987, Philip Spencer (not his real name) went out into the fog on Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire, England, for an early-morning walk. Through the fog, he saw what he initially thought was a child with the long spindly limbs, oval eyes, a large head and strange proportions. On instinct, Philip snapped a picture of the strange child – and then things got weird. Listen now to discover why what happened next has made this story one of the UK’s most baffling alien-abduction encounters (hint: contains missing time, hypnosis and a very reluctant witness). 

Geordie follows with a look at the dud that was the Mars One would-be space mission. Back in 2012, a Dutch space entrepreneur launched an exciting new proposal – he planned to send 100 people on a one-way trip to Mars to live out the rest of their days on the Red Planet. What’s more, they’d all be on their very own reality TV show about the mission! Genius! Except that the whole idea turned out to be a turkey. Listen now to find out why! 

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about a weird space orb found in Buga, Matthew Brown the UFO whistleblower, banned baby names and more, plus a snippet from friend of the show, Serena Bobowski - only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast.
