Instead of Sleeping

On the list of things we don't want to know: what we taste like, especially if it's gamey. We'd recommend not eating before this week's episode as Mahakeli and Kennedy share the stories of two cannibals. You'll thank us after hearing about Leonarda Cianciulli and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Love telling spooky stories around the campfire while eating s'mores? That's exactly what Mekaeli and Kennedy did this week, if you can count a candle as a campfire. Dim those lights, light your unscented candle, and get your marshmallows ready because this week focuses on the Winchester Mystery House and the Sallie House. 

Have you ever heard a story where you can only focus on one random detail? Well, despite all the wild turns, that's exactly what happened to Kennedy during Makaelie's story about Matthew Livers and Nicholas Sampson. Though, crazy things might just be part of wrongful convictions because Kennedy's stories of Jesse Tafero, Sonia Jacobs, and Peter Pringle are just as crazy. 

Experiencing symptoms from drinking even if you haven't? You might need to reach out to your local catholic diocese to talk to an exorcist. Listen as Kennedy and Makayly talk about the demonic possessions of Anneliese Michel and Michael Taylor. Plus some spooky stories from a tour guide at Aradale. Trust us, you'll think about these stories instead of sleeping (for a couple hours) tonight. 

Unless you're Kennedy's dad, you've probably heard about Jonestown. But what about all the other cults out there like the Vampire Clan or Heaven's Gate, the two cults Mikaeli and Kennedy talk about in this episode? If you love aliens, vampires, or Owen Wilson, you'll want to listen. 

Instead of Sleeping is back for episode 6 (and don't worry Kennedy and Makaeli remembered to their contract terms this time). They talk about Michigan, the Aradale Mental Hospital, the Beechworth Asylum, and the Waverly Hills Sanatorium. If you didn't have a fear of hospitals before, these haunted places will change that. 

Sometimes love makes you do crazy things, and that’s just what happened to these infamous couples. Mickæli shares the story of the Lethal Lovers: Gwendolyn Graham and Catherine May Wood. Kennedy talks about the Lonely Hearts Killers: Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez, a story that you may not believe even after you hear it. 

Flip those light switches off and light your candles. In this episode, Kennedy explains how she survived Bloody Mary and Mahkaeli shares how there was one time she almost might have experienced a Cry Baby Bridge when they look back at Urban Legends from their childhoods.

It’s episode three, three, three! In this episode, Mickaeli and Kennedy share the stories of Diane Augat and Joan Risch. Two women whose disappearances remain unsolved.

Looking to see a ghost while out on the town? Try the Moon River Brewing Company, Bobby Mackey’s Music World, or a bonus mystery location, a few haunted places Mykaylee and Kennedy talk about in the second episode of Instead of Sleeping.
