  • 098 - Weird Ways to Die

    Send us Fan Mail

    I get it - this entire show was built on people dying. But this episode is different, because these deaths weren't the result of war, serial killers, or anything relatively more ordinary. These deaths were...weird.

  • 097 - Spontaneous Human Combustion

    Send us Fan Mail

    Can people just randomly burst into flames and die? Maybe it doesn't happen exactly like that, but this week we look at three stories where it seems like that's just what happened.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Closing out 2021 with a weird story. One night in the 1960s, Barney and Betty Hill had something very strange happen to them in rural New Hampshire. Was it aliens? Was it a hallucination? Was it just a cry for attention? We don't know.

  • 092 - Peter Kürten

    Send us Fan Mail

    WARNING: Really awful episode alert!

    We wrap up an unintentional trilogy of awful stories with the story of German serial killer Peter Kürten. This one gets pretty gory pretty quick. There is also an equally awful German accent in this episode, so get ready.

  • 091 - South American Killers

    Send us Fan Mail

    Get ready to be outraged. Did you know that, at least during the times these stories occurred, the maximum amount of time you could spend in a South American prison was only 40 years? When you hear about what the 4 men in this week's episode did, you'll be beside yourself.

  • 090 - Belle Gunness

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's time for a female serial killer story! Belle Gunness was a Norwegian immigrant who came to America to take advantage of men and insurance money. Get ready for a lot of Swedish Chef impressions, which I realize is not Norwegian, but it's close enough!

  • 089 - Twins!

    Send us Fan Mail

    I should apologize about this one beforehand. It gets weird. But twins leave me with so many questions! This week, we're looking at five weird stories from sets of twins through history. Do they feel each other's pain? Can they read each other's mind? SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.
