How long would it take to sage all the corners in the Waverly Hills Sanatorium? The Sinister Sisters may never know. In today’s group episode, Sarah and Erin cover the history of the sanatorium during the 19th century tuberculosis epidemic, the gruesome treatments patients were subjected to, the deaths that occurred (which may or may not be urban legends), and a comical amount of failed construction plans. You’ll jump out of your seat as Morgan ends the episode with reported sightings of doppelganger ghosts, creepers, crawling child spirits, and more lurking the sanatorium’s halls. Now that’s some Hereditary shit.

The Sinister Sisters are back and recording in person! It’s a Christmas miracle! Wes, on the other hand, is probably having nightmares about this podcast. In today’s episode, Morgan covers the tale of Spring-heeled Jack who enjoyed leaping from rooftops all over Great Britain and wreaking havoc with his knife hands, Erin’s story hits even closer to home with the case of Pam Hupp who the RiverFront Times named St. Louis’ “Best Local Girl Gone Bad” of 2019 and Sarah interprets our editor in chief’s work anxiety dream. If you give a bear a cookie, he’ll destroy your house and eat your work equipment.

In today’s episode, Erin covers the case of Timothy Krajcir who is considered the Heartland’s most prolific serial killer and sexual predator, Morgan heads to Billings, Montana and brings the spook for her story on the haunted Moss Mansion, and Sarah dishes out all the fun facts about psychopaths and sociopaths.

The Sinister Sisters are back with some unpopular opinions: what is the superior Thanksgiving side and is turkey really all that great? We’re just reporting what we read. In today’s episode, Erin covers the murder of Marilee Bruszer who remained unidentified for almost four decades, Morgan travels to Suffolk, England for her story on the Green Children of Woolpit which could be a hoax but could also be the work of aliens, and Sarah dives into the growing millennial trend of relationship contracts. Are you Team Alien?

The Sinister Sisters are putting their speculation pants on and taking a deeper dive into the Watts family murder. Did Chris work alone? Does his mistress know more than she’s letting on? Why didn’t he just get a divorce!? One thing’s for sure, Chris Watts is the absolute worst.

If the Sinister Sisters placed a shot glass on a ouija board would a spirit move it? We need answers, people! In today’s episode, Morgan dives into haunted houses and reveals whether realtors are required to tell potential buyers that a death occurred in the home (sorry it’s not mermaids part 2). Sarah and Erin tag-team their topic, with Sarah covering the psychology behind family annihilators and Erin telling the infuriating case of Chris Watts, who murdered his wife Shanann and two young daughters Bella and CeCe in 2018. It sounds like it’s toxic, cause it is.

In today’s episode, Morgan tells unsettling animal ghost stories, Erin covers the shocking murder of Yale graduate student Annie Le, and Sarah covers the bizarre history of “practice babies” and how these orphans were loaned to universities to teach multiple “practice mothers” hands-on parenting skills.
