Remember that embarrassing thing you did fifteen years ago? Your brain brings it up enough already. Now imagine remembering your past so vividly that the feelings come back with it.

This week, Chris and Ed flash back to when they explored hyperthymesia, a rare ability to recall personal experiences in extraordinary detail, and the case of a 17-year-old who describes filing her memories in rooms inside her mind. She's got mental binders, a room for cooling down, and a chest holding a painful loss.

In 50 States Of Fear: California Part 2, we leave the haunted landscapes of Part One behind and meet some of the people who made California terrifying.
 
First, there’s Peg Entwistle, the talented young actress whose tragic death at the Hollywoodland sign became one of Hollywood’s most enduring ghost stories.
 
Then we descend into Synanon, a pioneering drug-rehabilitation program that transformed into an abusive cult complete with forced lifestyle changes, its own armed “Imperial Marines,” and an attempted murder involving a rattlesnake hidden inside a mailbox.
 
Finally, we visit the seemingly sweet Sacramento boarding-house owner Dorothea Puente, who welcomed elderly and vulnerable tenants into her home, poisoned them, stole their Social Security checks, and buried their bodies beneath her garden.
 
Get ready for another day in sunny Cali :)

This week, we flashback to the fear burning a hole in your pocket.

Chris and Ed dig into the growing danger of lithium-ion battery fires aboard airplanes, why these everyday devices can suddenly enter a terrifying chain reaction, and what happens when one ignites thousands of feet in the air.

Welcome to California - an American paradise built on a body count.

In Part One of their journey through the Golden State, Chris and Ed dig beneath California’s sun-soaked reputation to uncover what’s been buried there: the prehistoric death trap of the La Brea Tar Pits, the horrifying history of violence against California’s Indigenous people, the strange underground folklore of the Tommyknockers, the cursed ghost town of Bodie, and Colma...a town where the dead vastly outnumber the living.

Chris and Ed flashback to their coverage of one of the strangest murder cases in modern history.

It seemed like an ordinary family lunch: beef Wellington, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a conversation Erin Patterson said she needed to have with her estranged husband’s relatives. By the next morning, all four of her guests were violently ill. Within days, three were dead.

This week, Chris and Ed stare directly into the terrifying history of solar eclipses. From celestial dragons and fire-dogs devouring the sun, to wars stopped by sudden darkness, sacrificial substitute kings, retina burns shaped like the eclipse itself, and American doomsday prophecies that refuse to die - this one is a scorcher.

While the Spanish flu was tearing across the globe,
another epidemic began stealing people’s bodies from them.

Encephalitis lethargica aka “sleepy sickness” - could make victims
sleep almost continuously. It could also cause insomnia,
hallucinations, involuntary movements, dramatic personality changes,
paralysis, and death. Those who survived sometimes became living
statues, unable to initiate even the smallest movement as life
continued around them.

Chris and Ed trace this forgotten plague from World War I Europe to
the institutions where survivors remained trapped for decades.

Music festivals promise freedom, transcendence, and memories you’ll treasure forever. That's why human beings have been gathering in the dark to drink, dance, lose their minds - and occasionally die - for thousands of years.

This week, Chris and Ed follow the music festival from the frenzied worshippers of Dionysus and ancient beer-soaked ritual sites to Woodstock, Altamont, Woodstock ’99, and Astroworld. Along the way they taste raw flesh, meet Hells Angels, dance through human sewage, and learn all about the the Satanic conspiracy theories that turned a preventable tragedy into an alleged portal to hell.

Chris and Ed flash back to when they uncovered three horrifying true stories about intruders found hiding inches beneath sleeping victims - including a babysitter who investigated a child’s claim that there was a “monster” under the bed, a woman who discovered her threatening ex hiding beneath hers while a new security system was being installed, and a stalker who secretly remained under his victim’s bed for two full days...

Forget Ariel. Forget Splash. Forget the Starbucks logo. This week, Chris and Ed dive into the terrifying pre-Disney history of mermaids, from Greek sirens and Japanese ningyo to Mami Wata, Sedna, Christopher Columbus’s “sightings,” P.T. Barnum’s infamous Feejee Mermaid, and the fake Animal Planet documentary that got so convincing the U.S. government had to officially say: no, mermaids are not real.
