    Listener Tales 41 brought to you by you, for you, from you, and all about you! We’ve got a married set of cops who have to go investigate a spooky ass theater, a husband who went off to war but came back clairvoyant and a tiddie-peeking little ghost fucker.

  • The Tell-Tale Heart Murder

    We’re heading on over to Salem in the middle of this fine week to bring you the case of Captain Joseph White. Captain White was simply not a good man, he owned slaves, he had improper relations with his family and he was just generally disliked. When the niece that he was having “relations” with decided to up and marry someone other than him he was PISSED and took her out of the will. That will would become one of the main reasons the man was killed, but in the end (like every murder) it would be all for naught.

  • The Case of Virginia Rappe

    Ash, doing an Old Hollywood case? Groundbreaking. This one will have you spiraling through a whole slew of different emotions. It’s the case of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and Virginia Rappe. Back in the 20’s Roscoe Arbuckle, known as “Fatty” in his movies, was one of the most beloved actors. He and three of his friends decided to throw a Labor day prohibition party at a hotel in San Francisco. It was supposed to celebrate one of Roscoe’s latest roles and be a great time with all kinds of young and happenin’ celebrities but by the end of the night one party-goer, a rising star Virginia Rappe, would end up incredibly ill and would later die in the hospital from something that may or may not have happened to her at this party.

  • The Murder of Leith Von Stein

    In 1988 three college students came up with a plan to murder one of those students entire family in order to get money from a life insurance policy. Chris Pritchard, James “Bart” Upchurch and Neal Henderson all sat around for weeks on end trying to figure out the best way to kill Chris’s family and get away with it, all so that they could spend their days loafing around and not have to get real jobs or continue on with college. In the end, after multiple plans that didn’t work, only one member of Chris’s family members would end up dead; his stepfather Leith Von Stein. But who would take the fall?

  • The Somerton Man Part 1

    The Somerton Man case is one that has confounded Australia for almost 75 years now. It all started when an unidentifiable man was found dead on Somerton Beach. The man had no wallet, no form of ID, there was no name written inside of his clothing as would have been typical for the time. And it seemed like all of this was on purpose. Things in the case only got stranger when a tiny rolled up piece of paper was found in a hidden fob pocket in the man's jacket. The words on the paper read “Tamam Shud” and were later determined to have been ripped out of a book of poetry written in the 11th century: The Rubaiyat. In part one we’ll dip our toes into the mystery and in part two Ash will be taking everyone to the deep end of the pool for a serious dive into who the heck this man could possibly be and what the heck happened to him.
