Marie kicks things off with a chilling paranormal case: Julie Weinstein’s Ontario farmhouse, where peaceful country living quickly turned into a nightmare of footsteps in empty rooms, disembodied whispers, bleeding walls, freezing temperatures, and a hostile shadow figure that targeted her child. The haunting eventually ties back to the land’s dark history and a former slave runner whose violence seems embedded in the foundation.

Nicolina follows with the true-crime story of Issei Sagawa, the “Kobe Cannibal,” who murdered and cannibalized Dutch student Renee Hartevelt in Paris in 1981. They break down his early fantasies, the crime itself, and the shocking legal loopholes that let him walk free and become a bizarre public figure—raising questions about justice, media ethics, and whose names get remembered.

This week, Marie and Nicolina take you on a wild ride: one part ancient mystery, one part full-blown haunting. First, Nicolina digs into Mohenjo-daro, the 4,500-year-old Indus Valley city so advanced it had private wells, sewage systems, standardized homes, and a perfectly engineered public bath — yet left behind no readable writing and no clear reason for its sudden disappearance.

Then Marie unpacks the San Pedro haunting, one of the most disturbing and documented paranormal cases ever recorded. Single mom Jackie Hernandez faces violent activity, including floating heads, bloodlike liquid dripping from cabinets, and a cameraman nearly being hanged by an invisible force in her attic. The case ties to a mysterious 1930s drowning — or something even darker.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, child abuse, death, and religious violence. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

This week, Marie and Nicolina return with a wildly dual-toned episode — equal parts bizarre, chilling, and emotionally heavy. We kick off with eyebrow-related self-surgery (yes, really), trichotillomania confessions, and some questionable horoscope slander — before diving into two of the darkest stories we’ve ever covered.

Marie takes us back to 1997, when 39 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult willingly died in hopes of boarding an alien spacecraft. Nicolina then brings a heartbreaking 2025 case from Fort Pierce, Florida — a story that has barely left local headlines. When six-year-old Ramil stopped showing up at school, a welfare check revealed a tragedy: his mother had performed what she believed was a divinely commanded exorcism.

This is one of the most emotionally intense stories we’ve covered — and we end the episode by dedicating it to Ramil.

Some hauntings can be explained.

Some can be disproven.

And some—defy everything we know about reality.

In this chilling episode of Para(normal), Nicolina and Marie explores two true stories that continue to defy explanation..

First: The House in Between — a Mississippi home so haunted that engineers, physicists, and paranormal investigators spent years trying to decode it. From objects moving on their own to lights flickering in patterns, this isn’t just a ghost story—it’s an ongoing scientific anomaly that blurs the line between energy, consciousness, and the afterlife.

Then, journey to Brazil, 1966, where two men were found dead on a hillside wearing lead masks, with no signs of struggle, and no clear cause of death. Their notebooks spoke of “spiritual experiments” and “light visions,” leaving investigators and ufologists grasping for answers. Were they conducting a psychic ritual? Or did they meet something — or someone — not of this world?

Tune in for a deep dive into the places where logic fails, and the paranormal takes over.

In this Devil’s Night two-part episode of Para(normal), Nicolina and Marie travel back to the origins of one of Denver’s first recorded hauntings and unravel the true crime that would decades later inspire one of Hollywood’s most chilling slashers.

First: The Loretto Possession.

When the Sisters of Loretto founded St. Mary’s Academy, they came to teach—until a mysterious new boarder arrived. What followed terrified them and became known in church archives as “The Sighting of Spirits and the Devil”—the earliest ghost story ever written in Denver.

Then: The Real Killer Behind Scream.

In 1990, college student Danny Rolling murdered five students in Gainesville, Florida—crimes so brutal they paralyzed an entire town. His taunting phone calls, voyeuristic stalking, and theatrical crimes inspired screenwriter Kevin Williamson to write Scream—the movie that changed horror forever.

Two stories.

One century apart.

Both proof that sometimes…the monsters are real.

In this chilling Para(normal) feature, Nicolina and Marie dive deep into the real-world horrors that inspired one of cinema’s most infamous monsters — Freddy Krueger — and then chart a course to the mysterious waters of Japan’s own Bermuda Triangle.

First, Marie uncovers the terrifying true events that gave birth to Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. You’ll hear how reports of Southeast Asian refugees dying mysteriously in their sleep — healthy young men who screamed before never waking again — sparked the idea of a killer who strikes in dreams. These were real documented cases of Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS), sometimes tied to folklore about night demons and shadow men. Craven’s monster wasn’t just a creation of imagination — it was a reflection of a very real cultural fear.

Then, Nicolina takes us to the Dragon’s Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Sea, located south of Japan near the Miyake Island region — a place where ships, planes, and even military vessels have vanished without explanation. From ancient legends of sea dragons and ghost ships to 20th-century disappearances of Japanese research vessels, the area mirrors the Bermuda Triangle’s legacy of unexplained loss. Could it be natural magnetic anomalies, methane gas eruptions… or something far older lurking beneath the waves?

Together, the hosts connect the dots between nightmares, mythology, and the unseen forces that haunt both our minds and our world.

🕯️ What You’ll Hear:

“They said he screamed in his sleep… and never woke up. What kills you when you’re dreaming — and what’s waiting in the dark when you close your eyes?”

In this bone-chilling episode of Para(normal), Marie and Nicolina dive into two hauntingly different—but equally disturbing—corners of the unexplained: the true horror of Ed Gein, the real-life inspiration behind Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs… and the vast, mysterious wilderness of The Alaska Triangle, where planes vanish, compasses spin, and entire towns go missing without a trace.

Marie unearths the twisted story of Ed Gein, the mild-mannered Wisconsin farmer whose quiet demeanor masked unspeakable darkness. Through first-hand police reports, small-town rumors, and the grotesque discoveries found in his farmhouse, she explores how one man blurred the line between myth and monstrosity — and why his story still haunts America’s psyche.

Then, Nicolina takes us thousands of miles north to Alaska, where a massive swath of land has earned a reputation as the Bermuda Triangle of the North. From unexplained disappearances of bush pilots to eerie lights in the sky and whispers of ancient curses, she examines whether it’s magnetic anomalies, alien activity, or something far more sinister lurking beneath the permafrost.

In this episode of Para(normal), Marie and Nicolina dive into two of the most iconic moments in extraterrestrial lore. First, we revisit the 1938 “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast that sent listeners into chaos, convinced Earth was under attack by Martians. Was it truly mass panic—or has history exaggerated the story?

Then, we explore the origin story of the Men in Black—the mysterious figures said to silence UFO witnesses and keep alien secrets hidden. From their earliest sightings in the 1940s to their pop-culture fame, these strange men in dark suits may not be fiction after all.
