What if the year isn’t actually 2026?

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into Heribert Illig’s Phantom Time Hypothesis—his claim that 297 years of history, from AD 614 to 911, were fabricated and never actually happened.

Then, we’re traveling to rural Nebraska and the infamous Seven Sisters Road, where legend says seven sisters met a horrifying fate among the hills—and some say their screams can still be heard along the road today.

Missing centuries. Seven sisters. And two stories that leave us questioning what we think we know.

💄👻 Lipgloss & Lobotomies: The Chase Vault & Garnet Ghost Town

What do a sealed vault in Barbados and an abandoned mining town in Montana have in common? Besides giving us major “absolutely not, I’m not going in there” energy… they’re both surrounded by mysteries that have refused to stay buried. 👀

First, we’re heading to Barbados to investigate the Chase Vault Mystery—the infamous tomb where coffins were reportedly found mysteriously moved despite the vault being sealed and undisturbed. Was it supernatural? A very elaborate hoax? Or is there a perfectly creepy explanation hiding beneath the legend?

Then we’re packing our bags and heading west to Garnet Ghost Town, one of Montana’s best-preserved abandoned mining towns. Once bustling with miners, businesses, saloons, and families, Garnet eventually fell quiet—leaving behind empty buildings, forgotten belongings, and plenty of stories about the people who never quite left. 🏚️⛏️

So grab your lip gloss, turn down the lights, and come get appropriately uncomfortable with us as we explore moved coffins, abandoned towns, ghost stories, and two mysteries where the past refuses to stay in the past.

Because sometimes the dead leave things behind… and sometimes they move them. 💋🕯️

🖤 The Lobotomy Brief: Mechanicville Update

In this edition of The Lobotomy Brief, we’re returning to the heartbreaking case that shook Mechanicville, New York.

When we first covered the deaths of six members of one family, many questions remained unanswered. Now, investigators have confirmed that four of the deaths have been ruled homicides, while the deaths of the two adult women have been ruled suicides. 

Four children — Harper, Hudson, Gavin, and Gracelynn Harmon — lost their lives, alongside their mother, Sarah Myers, and grandmother, Amy Steadman.

We’ll take a look at what investigators have confirmed, what has changed since our original coverage, and the questions that still surround this devastating case.

As always with The Lobotomy Brief, we’re bringing you the update without sensationalizing the tragedy — because behind every headline are real people, real families, and lives that mattered. 🖤

The Lobotomy Brief — local stories, current events, and the things happening closer to home.

 Lipgloss & Lobotomies — Episode Description

What do hydraulic pressure and a suspected serial killer have in common? Probably absolutely nothing… except that we somehow managed to put them in the same episode. 😂🕷️🔪

First, we’re getting weirdly scientific and diving into the fascinating world of wolf spiders and hydraulics—how these eight-legged little nightmares use internal fluid pressure to help move their bodies and even their fangs. Recent research has found evidence that hydraulic pressure plays an important role in the movement of wolf spider chelicerae. 

Then we’re leaving the spider lab and heading to Missouri, where we meet Bertha Gifford, a woman whose reputation as a caretaker became intertwined with a disturbing series of mysterious deaths. Gifford was convicted of three murders in 1928, while investigators and later accounts connected her to numerous additional suspicious deaths—leading to her being remembered as one of Missouri’s earliest alleged female serial killers. 

So grab your lip gloss, prepare yourself for some creepy crawlies, strange science, arsenic, and old-school true crime, and join us for another wonderfully unhinged episode of Lipgloss & Lobotomies. 💄🕷️🧠

Because apparently we can’t just talk about one disturbing thing at a time. 💀

💄🧠 Lipgloss & Lobotomies Podcast Episode Description

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re unraveling two chilling stories separated by more than a century—but forever connected by the search for the truth.

First, we brave the frozen Arctic to explore Sir John Franklin’s infamous 1845 expedition aboard the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. What was meant to be a historic voyage through the Northwest Passage became one of the greatest maritime disasters in history. We’ll dive into the disappearance of 129 men, the haunting discoveries made decades later, and the science that’s finally helping piece together what happened in the Arctic ice.

Then, we head to Starkville, Mississippi, to examine the tragic murders of Kathryn Crigler and Betty Jones. On Labor Day in 1990, a violent home invasion claimed the lives of two beloved women and devastated their community. For years, investigators refused to give up, and decades later, advances in forensic DNA technology finally led to the identification and conviction of the man responsible. We’ll discuss the crime, the long road to justice, and how perseverance and modern science helped bring answers after more than 30 years.

From a doomed expedition lost to the Arctic to a cold case that was finally solved, this episode explores the enduring pursuit of truth—even when it takes generations to find it.

Grab your favorite lip gloss, get cozy, and join us for another fascinating journey into history, mystery, and true crime. 💋❄️🔍

One phone call. Forty-seven minutes. Two chilling words… and then silence.

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into one of the most haunting missing person cases in modern history—the disappearance of 19-year-old Brandon Swanson.

After his car slid into a ditch on a dark rural road in Minnesota, Brandon called his parents for help. As they searched for him, he stayed on the phone, walking through fields under the night sky. Then, without warning, he uttered the words, “Oh, shit.” The call went silent, and Brandon was never seen again. Despite massive searches and years of investigation, his disappearance remains unsolved.  

In this episode, we break down the timeline of Brandon’s final known moments, the evidence investigators uncovered, the theories that continue to spark debate, and the lasting legacy of Brandon’s Law, which changed how missing adult cases are handled in Minnesota. Most importantly, we remember the young man at the center of this enduring mystery.  

💄 Grab your favorite lip gloss, settle in, and join us as we explore one of true crime’s most heartbreaking unanswered questions.
