In this week’s episode of I’ve Got Something to Tell You, Tayler and Colleen each bring a story guaranteed to haunt you in totally different ways.

Tayler dives into the eerie legend of The Crying Boy — the infamous painting blamed for house fires, curses, and decades of unexplained bad luck. From tabloids to terrified homeowners, urban legend to alleged paranormal evidence, we unpack why a single image became one of the most feared art pieces of the 20th century.

Then Colleen takes us into the true story that inspired the film Open Water: Tom and Eileen Lonergan, the married couple accidentally left behind in the open ocean during a routine scuba excursion on the Great Barrier Reef. Miscounts, cover-ups, unanswered questions, a chilling diver’s slate, and the mystery that still divides investigators, experts, and the public.

We’re back with another live show at Jarrod’s Coffee in Mesa, where the caffeine is strong and the stories are even stronger. Tayler kicks things off with one of the most unsettling paranormal legends out there: the Black-Eyed Children. Creepy encounters, eerie folklore, and the kind of urban legend that leaves you double-checking your front door.

Then Colleen dives into true-crime history with the life and murders of Nannie Doss, better known as The Giggling Granny. From toxic relationships to poison-laced endings, she remains one of America’s most notorious female serial killers.

If you’re searching for true crime, paranormal stories, creepy folklore, haunted legends, or cases involving female killers, this episode covers it all.

This week’s episode takes a hilarious turn with our brand new segment...... Top 5!!! We dive into the “Most Haunted Foods,” and things get chaotic fast, partially because I (Tayler) forgets part of the rules before we begin. Between the wild guesses, unexpected answers, and competitive energy, this game had us laughing way harder than we expected. Who knew bread, meat pies, and ice cream trucks could be this spooky? Tune in for a mix of chaos, competition, and comedy — it’s the Top 5 debut you didn’t know you needed! ORDER UP! 👻🍴

In this episode, Tayler shares the haunting legend of Resurrection Mary, one of Chicago’s most enduring ghost stories — a restless spirit said to wander Archer Avenue, searching for her way home. Then, Colleen tells the heartbreaking story of Jayna Troxel Murray, whose life was tragically cut short in an unthinkable act of violence. 

We’re kicking off our first official listener stories segment — and it’s a wild one!

This week, we’re coming to you live from BottleShop 48, where the drinks were cold, the ghosts were active, and the stories were absolutely unhinged.

Tayler kicks things off with the infamous Bobby Mackey’s Music World—a haunted Kentucky honky-tonk packed with murder, mayhem, and more basement demons than any bar really needs.

Then Colleen dives into the unbelievable true-crime legend of Michael Malloy, the man who simply refused to die. It’s got bootleg booze, bad decisions, and the most incompetent murder plot in history.

Two stories. One chaotic live show. 100% hauntingly hilarious.

This week, Tayler uncovers the real story behind The Exorcist — the chilling 1949 case of a boy whose terrifying possession and church-documented exorcism shocked the nation and inspired one of the most infamous horror films of all time.

Then Colleen dives into the chaos that followed when Hollywood tried to bring that story to life — from mysterious fires and on-set injuries to unexplained deaths and a so-called curse that still haunts the film fifty years later.

It’s faith, fear, and filmmaking gone wrong — the true story that became a legend, and the movie that may have taken the word “possession” a little too literally.

The Sallie House + Karl Tanzler, "The Corpse Bride"

This week, Tayler takes us to Atchison, Kansas — inside one of the most famously haunted homes in America: The Sallie House. From flickering lights to ghostly scratches, it’s a story that blurs the line between haunting and possession… and proves some spirits don’t like uninvited guests.

Then Colleen dives into the macabre love story of Karl Tanzler — a radiologist so obsessed with a patient that even death couldn’t stop him. What follows is one of the strangest, most disturbing tales of devotion ever told.

It’s obsession. It’s possession. It’s love gone way, way too far.

The Salem Witch Trials

Spooky Season continues — and we’ve got another special episode where we tackle a big story together.

This week, Colleen covers the Salem Witch Trials — the true story of hysteria, accusations, and executions that turned a quiet Puritan village into a nightmare. From the “lil gurls” whose claims sparked mass panic to the haunting legacy left behind, it’s one of history’s darkest moments.

Then Tayler heads to modern-day Salem, exploring haunted inns, cursed cemeteries, and the lingering energy that still surrounds this infamous town. 👻
