This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into two stories that blur the line between myth, mystery, and something far more sinister.

First, we head into the depths of the Grand Canyon, where a bizarre 1909 newspaper article claimed the discovery of an ancient underground cavern filled with Egyptian artifacts, hieroglyphics, and even mummies. Was this an archaeological cover-up tied to the Smithsonian Institution, an elaborate hoax, or a piece of history that was quietly buried? We break down what was reported—and what was never proven.

Then, we travel to the shadowy streets of New Orleans to uncover the chilling “trunk murders,” a gruesome case from 1927 that left a city shaken. Two young women, dismembered and hidden inside a trunk, and the killer was closer than you think!

From hidden chambers to hidden crimes, this episode peels back the layers of two unsettling tales that refuse to stay buried.

So grab your gloss, steady your nerves, and step into the darkness with us.

In this episode of Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we dive into two horrors—one microscopic, the other deeply human.

First, we unravel the unsettling truth about microplastics… the invisible invaders hiding in our water, our food, even our bodies. From the depths of the ocean to human bloodstreams, these tiny fragments have infiltrated nearly every corner of life on Earth. What does that mean for our health, our future, and the world we think we know? The science is still unfolding—but the implications are chilling.

Then, we step into the shadowed halls of one of America’s most infamous homes: the LaLaurie Mansion of New Orleans. Behind its elegant façade lived Madame Delphine LaLaurie, a woman whose cruelty would become legend. We explore the horrifying truths uncovered after the 1834 fire—and the lingering energy said to haunt the property to this day. Whispers of tortured souls, unexplained sounds, and a darkness that refuses to leave.

Two stories. One modern. One historic. Both a reminder that sometimes the most terrifying things are the ones we cannot see… and the ones we choose to ignore.

Listener discretion is advised.

At first glance, they look like nothing—just faint little red dots scattered across a black sky. But those tiny specks captured by powerful telescopes? They’re entire galaxies… burning billions of light-years away. Some are so distant, we’re not seeing them as they are—but as they once were. In a way, we’re staring at the ghosts of the universe… echoes of something that may no longer even exist.

And if space teaches us anything, it’s this: distance doesn’t erase mystery… it deepens it.

Because back here on Earth, in the quiet town of Bardstown, Kentucky, another kind of darkness lingers—one much closer to home.

A series of chilling, unsolved cases has left this small town wrapped in fear: a police officer ambushed on his way home, a mother vanishing without a trace, a young girl and her mother  brutally attacked in their own home and a father silenced for knowing too much, and a community haunted by the question—are these connected?

No answers. No closure. Just whispers, suspicion, and a pattern that feels impossible to ignore.

From the farthest reaches of the universe… to the secrets buried in a small Kentucky town—this episode dives into the unknown, the unresolved, and the things that refuse to be explained.

Because whether it’s a distant galaxy… or a quiet street in Bardstown… some mysteries don’t fade. They wait.

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into stories that blur the line between tragedy and the unexplained. 💋🧠

First, we head to Joplin, Missouri, where the devastating 2011 tornado left behind not only destruction—but chilling accounts of the “Butterfly People.” Survivors, many of them children, described glowing, winged figures shielding them from harm. Guardian angels… trauma response… or something we can’t explain?

Then, we step inside the haunting halls of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, one of America’s most infamous paranormal hotspots. From the tuberculosis epidemic to the body chute and lingering spirits, we unpack the history, the heartbreak, and the ghosts that may still walk its corridors.

Are these stories proof that something watches over us—or reminders of how we cope with the unimaginable?

Grab your lipgloss and steady your nerves… this one gets heavy, haunted, and a little heavenly.

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re stepping into a place where grief rots into legend and the line between tribute… and obsession… disappears.

Deep in the canals of Xochimilco lies the infamous Island of Dolls—a haunting landscape where hundreds of decaying dolls hang from trees, their hollow eyes watching, waiting. What started as one man’s attempt to appease a restless spirit quickly spiraled into something far more disturbing. Was it guilt? Madness? Or was something truly watching him from the water?

But the dead don’t just linger in folklore.

We also unravel the heartbreaking and still unsolved murder of Kelly Lynn Albright—a case that leaves more questions than answers. A life taken too soon, a family still searching, and a silence that feels just as eerie as the island itself.

Two stories. One chilling question:

So grab your lipgloss, lock your doors, and settle in… because some things don’t just haunt places—they haunt people.

In this episode of Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re traveling from the edges of the universe to one of the most haunted houses in America. 🚀👻

Astronauts say space has a smell—something like burnt steak, gunpowder, and hot metal. But what exactly causes that strange cosmic scent? And what are the mysterious cosmic flashes astronauts have reported seeing behind their closed eyes while floating in orbit?

Then we head back down to Earth… and straight into the eerie halls of the legendary Sallie House. Said to be haunted by a young girl named Sallie, this infamous home has been linked to violent paranormal encounters, unexplained scratches, and terrifying poltergeist activity.

From the strange science of space to one of the most chilling hauntings in paranormal history, we’re asking the big questions:

Grab your lipgloss and your courage—this one gets spooky. 💋✨

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into a scent of death… and a night of pure terror.

First up: putrescine — the chemical compound released when a body decomposes. Sweet, sickly, unforgettable. It’s the smell investigators know too well, the odor that clings to crime scenes, and one of the most haunting sensory details in forensic science. We’re breaking down what it is, why our brains react so strongly to it, and how science turns something so grotesque into crucial evidence.

Then we head to the quiet woods of Gitchie Manitou State Preserve for one of the Midwest’s most horrifying crimes — the Gitchie Manitou Massacre. In 1973, five teenagers set out for a summer night under the stars. Only one survived. We’ll walk through the timeline, the investigation, and the trauma that rippled through both Iowa and South Dakota after that brutal attack.

It’s science. It’s survival. It’s one of the most chilling true crime cases you may have never heard of.

Grab your gloss, steady your stomach, and let’s get into it. 💄🖤

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re stepping into a house where eight people went to sleep… and never woke up.

In 1912, the small town of Villisca became the scene of one of America’s most haunting unsolved crimes: the Villisca Axe Murder House. An entire family — along with two young houseguests — brutally murdered in the middle of the night. The killer was never caught. And more than a century later, people say the house is anything but empty.

Then we’re turning up the heat — literally.

We’re diving into the disturbing production secrets behind The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The 1974 horror classic felt terrifyingly real… because parts of it were. From sweltering Texas conditions to real animal bones, authentic skeletons, and actual roadkill used on set, the line between fiction and reality was thinner than anyone realized. What’s fact? What’s legend? And why does knowing the truth make the movie even harder to stomach?

An unsolved massacre. A house that won’t rest. And a horror film that blurred the boundaries of death and cinema.

Grab your gloss. Lock your doors. And maybe… don’t answer the knock. 🔪✨

This week we’re asking the real question:

Is he a green flag… or is he about to summon a demon in the basement? 👀🔪

We’re breaking down the husbands, boyfriends, and significant others of horror, sci-fi, and supernatural films and TV — from “he’d fight a ghost for you” energy to “why does he own that many locked trunks?” behavior.

Who’s protective vs. possessive?

It’s spooky. It’s spicy. It’s slightly unhinged.

Because nothing says romance like surviving the apocalypse together. 🖤✨

Crows never forget.

In this episode, we explore the eerie science behind crows and their long memories before turning to the heartbreaking 2017 murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams in Delphi, Indiana. We walk through the timeline, the investigation, and the long road toward justice — centering the lives of Abby and Libby, not the spectacle surrounding the case.

This is a story about remembrance, accountability, and the weight of what should never be forgotten.

Trigger Warning: Discussion of violence against children and murder.
