This week, we’re diving straight into a nightmare—twice. First, we venture into the eerie ruins of Helltown, Ohio, a place soaked in mystery, abandoned by force, and rumored to be crawling with cults, mutants, and the paranormal. Was it really just a government buyout—or is something more sinister lurking in the shadows of this forgotten town?

Then, things get even bloodier as we dig into the chilling case of Winnie Ruth Judd, the so-called “Trunk Murderess.” In 1930s Arizona, Winnie’s crime shocked the nation when two dismembered bodies were discovered stuffed into suitcases—and the story only gets stranger from there. Was she a cold-blooded killer or a pawn in a twisted love triangle?

Grab your flashlight, your besties, and your morbid curiosity. It’s time for another dose of humor, haunts, and homicide.
