Can being a Witch be a reason to murder someone? Some people might think it is. In this episode, we'll talk about the still-unsolved case of the Murder of Charles Walton, as well as briefly talk about some current murders going on with murders for witchcraft purposes, another case, one of folklore, superstition and folk magic in Pennsylvania. This episode covers most of the subjects I cover on a regular basis, involving witchcraft, folklore and true crime. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

This week, Justin Rimmel from Mysterious Circumstances joins me for a fun, drunken New Years Episode! We get sidetracked like crazy and don't talk about anything in particular, but we have fun chatting about just about everything while under the influence.

This week, we dive into some Christmas folklore! Krampus isn't the only spooky figure for this time of year... Let's talk about some that aren't as well known such as Frau Perchta, Gryla, the Yule Lads, and my personal favorite, the Mari Lwyd.

The Holidays seem to be a stressful time of year for some people... So much so that they sometimes resort to murder. In this episode we'll talk about the Carnation Massacre, the Mockingbird Hill Massacre, a story still sung about today involving a pimp, polotics and fancy hats, and go over some funny christmas crimes from recent years.

for this episode it's pretty simple, the first 5 pages of google for each one and youtube. there isn't alot of detail that I talked about and you can pretty much find this information in all these links.

Ok... I got a bit excited for this one and covered quite a bit... dreams, astral travel, divination, auras, an herb, and a Goddess!

I got a ton of questions from you guys after the Cults episode with Johnny, so let's go over some of those and address some topics that no one really seems to talk about... Sex, Kinks, Fetishes and some cringe-worthy injuries in the act!

This week, I talk about the Native American legend of the Pukwudgie. Similar to what we know as trolls, these "little people of the wilderness" may or may not be dangerous to humans depending on who you ask. They've been around a long time, and there are stories of sightings even today.

This week, special guest Johnny Townsend and I talk cults. Johnny tells me about Jonestown, and I tell him about The Church of Euthanasia.
