Six Degrees of WTF

On this episode, Erin covers the case of Lisa McVey. Lisa grew up in an abusive environment and one day decided to end her own life. This same day, Lisa was abducted by a serial killer and it was then that she decided she wanted to live, and amazingly managed to not only escape, but help end the man's reign of terror.

After the break, O'Dell provides updates on the Delphi Snapchat Murders, Steve Pankey, and Alain Malessard and then we close out with a few "would you rathers" and a shower thought.

Many people swear that Stanley was real and that his case inspired the character of Michael Meyers.

We are in full-on spooky season mode now. We've left the awful horror movies behind us, and we are here with two extra creepy paranormal tales.

O'Dell kicks things off with a very famous haunting that plagued a young Nova Scotia woman in the late 1800s. After an attempted assault, Esther Cox began to experience unexplained phenomena late at night. It started as knocking on the walls, and soon escalated into things being thrown around the room, writing on the ceiling and spontaneous fires. The strange thing about this is the haunting wasn't relegated to Esther's home, and cropped up in different ways in different locations.

Erin follows up with the true story of Anneliese Michel whose story inspired the film, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose". Anneliese believed she was possessed, and would receive as many as 60 exorcisms in two months. Was it simply a neurological disorder, or was she really possessed by several demons?

We close things out with a WTF story about a man buried alive at a festival, a few "Have you ever" questions to cleanse the palette and some spooky season inspired shower thoughts.

• 00:00 - Intro
• 00:51 - Festivals and Shout-outs

We're in horror movie mode, and we're looking for our next favorite find (that has yet to happen, though). Erin tells us all about her new podcast and then we jump in.

Erin kicks things off with the unsolved murder of Blake Chappell, a Georgia teen who went missing while walking home from his girlfriend's house after homecoming and was found two months later with a bullet in his head. His murder is still unsolved.

After the break, O'Dell tells us all about the Island of the Dolls in Mexico - a place he will NEVER visit. Is it really haunted? Some people seem to think so.

We bring things home with a WTF story about a drunk man and a firework, and then we let you in on what we'll be doing this year during our month of Halloween fun.

We kick this one off with totally-on-topic discussions of killer whales and therapy before jumping into the meat of it all.

O'Dell covers the unsolved murder of 19-year-old nursing student, Taylor Robinson. Taylor went missing while caring for a patient, leaving behind her shoes and coat. Four months later her remains would be found and despite having two strong suspects, Taylor's murder is still unsolved.

Erin then covers the urban legend surrounding the Goat Man Bridge in Denton, TX. Can you really summon the goat man if you honk your horn three times, and is there any validity to the "true story" that inspired the legend?

O'Dell brings it home with a WTF story about a man and a whale before we go deep with our palette cleanser and shower thoughts.

On this episode, Erin kicks things off with the unsolved murder of 15-year-old Lisa Thomas. Lisa had walked to the mall to buy a shirt she really wanted, and intended to be home by dinner. She never returned and she would later be found in a wooded area between her house and the mall. Her murder is still unsolved.

After the break, O'Dell covers the creepy case of the black-eyed children. Are these creepy kids real, or just another internet urban legend? Whatever the case may be, they are definitely something we don't want to encounter.

Erin rounds things off with a WTF story about a man who really should have gotten to know his neighbors, and then we wrap things up with a "this or that" palette cleanser and a shower thought or three.

We kick off this episode talking about horror movies - October is just around the corner!

O'Dell then covers the unsolved murder of Alain Malessard - a French bicyclist who was murdered at an Oregon campground. The case is covered extensively in the documentary, "Old-Growth Murder" - definitely check it out!

After the break, Erin covers the urban legend of the Bunnyman Bridge in Virginia, and the alleged axe-wielding maniac in a bunny suit that haunts it.

We close things out with a WTF story of a man who was killed by a condom machine, and then cleanse the palette with a few "would you rathers" and shower thoughts which lead Erin to make some questionable choices (again).
