Sorry guys for the late posting. It's been a bit of a week and editing got slowed down quite a bit, but we do think you will enjoy this episode about the infamous duo that caused mayhem in the 1930's. Bonnie and Clyde everybody! Aileen brings us this tale and actually debunks a few things we thought we knew about this couple. We all know the names, but do we know what the true story is? Did you know who else was involved? Or, did you know about Bonnie's life before Clyde? Well, take a listen and let us know your thoughts on this crazy history lesson! 

Today's episode is a mini-sode! With the holiday, it was tricky to find a good time to record, so we shortened it a little this week. Are you familiar with The Conjuring? Aileen and Karly were creeped out by Kat's tale of Annabelle the demon doll. She tells the brief history of the doll, and how she ended up with the infamous Warrens, and what's happened to her since. This creepy creature is locked away where she can't get you, but listener be warned. Do not mock her or something bad might happen to you. Got your holy water? Your nerve? Would you be brave enough to face her down? Let us know!

Today is chaotic as we welcome Karly back! Not to worry she is okay. Today, Aileen brings us the tale of Michael and Kathleen Peterson, a story made popular by The Staircase. Aileen brings us through the history of the couple, the crime and investigation, and the aftermath, including questions years after the crime had been committed. This is such a tragic case and some might say it's a case of history repeating itself. Take a listen and tell us what you think!

Today's episode is a little different because only Kat and Aileen are hosting today. Aileen has some mac and cheese and Kat came with Chinese food instead. Today, Kat discusses the life and death of Princess Diana, the late, beloved "People's Princess". This is near and dear to Kat's heart, because she truly loves Princess Di, as this wonderful woman is one of Kat's all time favorite historical figures. We discuss her early life, who she was as a person, the dramatic life in the royal family, as well as her death. At the end, we also discuss potential theories, but keep in mind, these are all theories, so please don't come for us. This is such a tragic case, but we wanted to touch on it a little bit in wake of Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah. There's a lot. What are your thoughts? Let us know!

Next week will be our regularly scheduled upload day don't worry! Anyway, today's episode is a doozy! Aileen shares with us the tragic tale of the Sodder family and subsequent disappearance of five of their ten children. The answer to their disappearance still stumps people today, and no leads have since popped up. The ladies discuss the family, the lead up to the disappearances and then the aftermath of the tragedy. So many things went wrong for this poor family. Unfortunately, we may never know. What are your theories? Let us know!

Today's story is an infamous one right out of Massachusetts, the state that Kat grew up in.
