Haunt & Cold Podcast

We found it fitting to go back to our roots for this episode, April and Katie are back in the car and on the road! (well, parking lot) In this episode, April tells us the heartbreaking story of Ruby Franke's son escaping from Jodie Hildebrandt's home to save himself and his sister. The children were abused and malnourished by the hands of Jodie Hildebrandt under the guise of therapeutic treatment. When at home with their mother, Ruby Franke, the children saw similar abusive treatment. Now Franke and Hildebrandt have been charged and are on their way to sentencing! Katie then tells us the history and hauntings of the Ritz theater in Tooele, UT that was owned by the same owners for 8 decades until recently. But the theater continues to be haunted by it's guests awaiting the next show!

Buckle and listen up, We have loved creating this podcast even with its slow growth, panic writing notes, and technical difficulties. It's been an outlet for us for the past 2.5 years but it's time for us to move onto the next adventure. We hope you enjoyed listening! Until next time, MMKAY BYE!

We are never short on technical difficulties, but we made it happen. April comes in with a heavy hitter this month, telling us the cruel and gruesome crimes of one of the most notorious serial killers in the UK, Jack the Ripper. Not only is Jack the Ripper's identity still a mystery but also his motive! Thanks for Listening! 

It. Never. Ends. April and Katie attempted to record IN PERSON this week but the weather had other ideas. So once we got home, warm and dry we continued our stories.

This week, we drew the state of Idaho! Get cozy, bake yourself an Idaho Potato and listen up! April tells us the gruesome story of the Idaho 4. The 4 college students brutally murdered in their home they rented together. We cover the evidence collected by investigators and how that evidence led them to a potential suspect. Afterward, Katie gives us a history of the Old Idaho State Penitentiary and what entities still haunt the cells and hallways today.

Every week we will be drawing a new state for us to tell stories about the following week. Join Patreon to know next week's state and to give us ideas and suggestions!

April's story this week has been removed for sensitivity reasons. We apologize for any offense that may have been taken by the way this story was told. We may release again in the future when more information comes to light.

But don't fret! Katie tells us a story about when a young woman went missing late September 1895 in Salt Lake City, Utah. But when police began to dig for answers, a lot of the signs (and smells) pointed at someone you'd least expect.
