Shadow Keeper's Podcast

Winter has always belonged to the shadows. In this episode of Shadow Keepers, Lee and Bia explore the dark legends that haunt the coldest season—from Christmas monsters like Krampus, Grýla, and the Yule Lads to chilling winter cryptids including the Wendigo, Yeti, Sasquatch, and more. Across cultures, these stories warned, watched, and punished, reminding us that survival in winter meant respecting what lurks in the dark.

Bundle up, keep the fire burning, and step carefully… because not everything watching you in the snow is human.

On Christmas Eve, two families—separated by decades and thousands of miles—were erased in acts of violence so sudden and so calculated that they still haunt the collective memory.

In this episode of Shadow Keepers, we descend into the darkness behind the Covina Massacre, where a man dressed as Santa Claus turned a night meant for joy into one of the deadliest holiday crimes in U.S. history. We examine the planning, the symbolism, and the unsettling question of how hatred can hide behind something so familiar—and festive.

Then we step back to 1929, into the rural isolation of North Carolina, where the Lawson Family Murders left an entire household dead at the hands of the man meant to protect them. With no clear motive and no surviving answers, the Lawson case lingers as one of America’s most disturbing family annihilations—wrapped in silence, speculation, and generations of unanswered “why.”

What drives someone to destroy their own family? Why do these tragedies leave behind more questions than closure? And what echoes do they leave in the shadows long after the bodies are gone?

Light fades quickly in this episode.

Listener discretion is advised.

It’s the one night a year when fear feels fun — until it’s not. Bia and Lee dive into real Halloween murders that turned festive nights into crime scenes. Who could hide behind a mask and blend into the crowd? And why does violence seem to find its way into the season of the supernatural?

What really happens when the clock strikes three?

In this episode of Shadow Keepers, Bia and Lee stay awake deep into the night to explore the legend of the Witching Hour—that eerie stretch between midnight and 3 a.m. said to belong to witches, spirits, and things that move unseen.

From its medieval origins and religious ties to its place in folklore, pop culture, and psychology, the hosts unravel why humans have always feared this hour and whether there’s any truth behind the superstition.

Plus—a midnight tarot reading offers a message for those who find themselves awake when the world goes silent.

In the heat of a merciless summer, the city of Strasbourg was seized by something no one could explain. One woman began to dance in the streets—and then hundreds followed. For weeks, the city spiraled into chaos as bodies moved without rest, and souls seemed to vanish into the rhythm. Some called it mass hysteria. Others whispered of curses, saints, and the Devil himself.

Join us as we uncover the eerie mystery of the 1518 Dancing Plague, where faith, fear, and frenzy blurred the line between the living and the dead.

Was it poison, madness… or something far darker?
