It's Alive...ALIVE!!!

Fairvale thought the nightmare had ended — but in truth, it was only beginning.

In this episode, we move deeper into the life and crimes of Norman Bates, tracing the path from his first known murders to the chilling discoveries that would leave investigators reeling.

We’ll examine the strange duality that defined him — the polite young man who served guests breakfast by day, and the disturbed figure who carried out unspeakable acts by night.

Through police reports, witness accounts, and recovered evidence from the Bates property, we uncover how Norman’s devotion to his mother twisted into something deadly, and how “Mother” herself seemed to live on long after her death.

For years, the Bates Motel sat quietly on the side of the old highway — just another forgotten stop for travelers passing through Fairvale.

But behind its faded curtains and “Vacancy” sign was a world of silence, secrets, and something far more sinister.

In this episode, we trace the beginnings of Norman Bates — the shy boy raised under the shadow of an overbearing mother and a home that never knew peace.

We’ll explore how a childhood shaped by control and fear shattered a fragile mind, setting the stage for the horrors that would follow.

From his earliest signs of instability to the murders that would horrify the nation, this is the story of how innocence turned into obsession — and how Norman Bates became a name whispered in fear.

Mark Lewis wasn’t just another name in the crowd—he was a mystery. A man whose choices, struggles, and secrets painted a life as complex as it was compelling. In this episode, we peel back the layers to reveal the real Mark Lewis: the triumphs that defined him, the demons he wrestled with, and the legacy that refuses to stay buried.

Was he a product of circumstance, or the author of his own downfall? Every twist in his story raises new questions—and just when you think you have the answers, the narrative shifts again.

Join us as we dig into the life of Mark Lewis, where the line between truth and perception blurs, and the only certainty is that nothing is as simple as it seems.

Celebrity Rap Sheet S01 Ep 01 Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle

On Monday, September 5, 1921 (Labor Day), Arbuckle took a break from his hectic film schedule and, despite suffering second-degree burns to both buttocks from an on-set accident, drove to San Francisco with two friends, Lowell Sherman and Fred Fishback.

The three checked into three rooms at the St. Francis Hotel: 1219 for Arbuckle and Fishback to share, 1221 for Sherman, and 1220 designated as a party room.[citation needed] Several women were invited to the suite.

During the carousing, a 30-year-old aspiring actress named Virginia Rappe was found seriously ill in room 1219 and was examined by the hotel doctor, who concluded that her symptoms were mostly caused by intoxication and administered morphine to calm her. Rappe was not hospitalized until two days after the incident.

This week we walk the line between the real world and virtual reality as we take a deep dive into the ground breaking case of the Brainscan Killer Micheal Brower.

Was Micheal a disturbed young man who got sucked into a fantasy world of blood, gore and pixelated mayham or was he a serial killing mastermind, check out this weeks episode and decided for yourself!!!
