This time, Kelly takes Sam back to Cleveland for a more lighthearted story of what may be an actual haunting. Hannes Tiedemman was a German immigrant who built a large 4 story home that came to be known to all as "Franklin Castle" as it was on Franklin Street. Hannes had great dreams for it, but they would crumble. After changing hands a few times The German Socialist Party obtained the property, however, they moved on. As the Castle changed hands after, owners began to report strange happenings in their time there. Strange organ music, footsteps, items being moved, all the good things that make a great haunting. It's not just that though, the house itself is a maze of other rooms that we cover. Join us today for a fun, Cleveland, paranormal tale.

Today we are taking it to Broadway! A lot of content we deal with can be incredibly grim so we thought it was best for all of us to unpack Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. No murder today just a lot of injuries caused to many stunt doubles and performers. Their common denominator? A huge, flashy, record-setting musical. We’ll first learn what’s safe to do then discuss what happened during the process of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

**TRIGGER WARNING: Child Ab*se** 

* 

Christopher Bennett was just 18 years old when at his stepfather Vincent McDorman’s home he heard his 5 year old sister crying for help. Christopher broke into the home, weapon drawn to find his stepfather ab*sing his stepsister, Victoria. Christopher shot McDorman in the head killing him instantly. After his full confession, the book was thrown at him and he was given 1,800 years in prison. So today we discuss, what is justice? We're allowed to disagree! Most importantly we hear Victoria’s own story for the first time.
