Spirits with Crime

Hello, spooky souls! Grab your favorite glass for this week's cocktail, because this week’s episode is divine. We’re unearthing two bizarre tales that’ll have you questioning nuns and the Vatican’s tech department.

First up — ever heard of Mariam Soulakiotis, the Killer Nun? No, this isn’t a horror movie plot — it’s dark history at its weirdest. Known as the “Woman Rasputin,” this 20th-century Greek Orthodox nun ran a deadly monastery where faith, fear, and fatality collided. Then, we’re flipping the switch to full-on conspiracy mode with the Chronovisor — a legendary, supposedly Vatican-hidden time machine that can see into the past. Tune in as we dive deep into this wild theory, secret societies, and why the Vatican always seems to be hiding the coolest (and creepiest) stuff. Cheers!

Hello, spooky souls! Welcome to episode 112 of Spirits with Crime! This week’s episode is like stepping into a Black Mirror episode… if it were ghost-written by the other side.

First up, we’re diving into the real-life mystery of “China Black”—a woman found in 2010, wandering with no ID, no memory, and no idea who she was. Then, we plug into the paranormal world of Kinect hauntings—yes, that Kinect. Gamers started noticing eerie, unexplained figures picked up by the Xbox sensor, even when no one else was in the room. Did Microsoft accidentally invent a ghost detector?

This episode has a whole lot of mystery, so if you love it (and you know you will), leave a review, drop your theories in the comments, or tell me if your own tech has ever acted a little... haunted. Cheers!

Happy Saturday spooky people! We’re diving deeper into the rabbit hole, where mysterious deaths, shadowy organizations, and shape-shifting reptilian beings collide.

Imagine investigating top-secret government conspiracies, alien agendas, and mind control experiments… only to wind up dead under bizarre circumstances. That’s exactly what happened to Max Spiers, a British conspiracy researcher who was found mysteriously deceased in Poland—just days after warning his loved ones that he was in danger. Official cause of death? “Natural causes.” But he vomited black liquid before he died. Was he silenced for uncovering too much? Or did his own obsession with the truth take a deadly turn?

If you thought Part 1 was wild, buckle up. We’re going even deeper into the Lacerta Files, the alleged secret interviews with a real-life reptilian being who claims humans aren’t the first—or the most advanced—species to walk the Earth.

Do you think Max Spiers was murdered for what he knew? And is there any truth to the Lacerta Files, or are we just chasing shadows? Drop a comment or review- Cheers!

Hello spooky souls! Welcome to Episode 110, where we're diving into a deadly rampage fueled by racial tension and conspiracy, and a theory so bizarre, it has captured the minds of millions.

In 1973, Mark Essex unleashed a brutal and calculated attack in New Orleans, targeting police officers and civilians in a spree that left the city reeling. But what drove him to such violent extremes? We’ll explore his troubled past, his deep resentments, and the chaos that unfolded during one of the most shocking sniper attacks in U.S. history.

What if I told you humans aren’t at the top of the food chain? Some believe reptilian humanoids have been secretly pulling the strings of world governments, controlling our history, and shaping society from behind the scenes.

This episode is packed with real-life horror, and mind-altering theories. Hit play and decide for yourself—is there more to the world than meets the eye? Cheers!

Hello spooky souls! St. Patrick’s Day is literally around the corner, and while most people are thinking about shamrocks and pints of Guinness, we’re diving into something a little darker than green beer. In 1993, Annie McCarrick, a 26-year-old American woman living in Dublin, vanished without a trace. Despite reported sightings and decades of investigation, her case remains unsolved. Ireland has long been home to tales of people vanishing into the fairy realm (or otherwise), never to return. The "Good People" (as they're cautiously called) are known for their tricks, and some legends suggest they steal away unsuspecting humans, replacing them with changelings or trapping them in their hidden world. Could these ancient beliefs hold any parallels to modern disappearances?

Hit play and join the conversation! Cheers!

Have you ever heard of fairy abductions? What do you think happened to Annie McCarrick? Leave a review and let’s talk!

Spooky souls, get ready for a wild ride! This week’s episode is packed with revenge, justice, and one seriously messed up ghost story. We’re diving into the true crime tale of a woman who refused to stay a victim, and the legend of a ghostly woman who punishes the unfaithful.

From child bride to feared outlaw to political powerhouse, Phoolan Devi’s story is one of revenge, survival, and defiance in the face of a brutal system. After years of suffering abuse, she took justice into her own hands, leading a gang that would make history. But did she live long enough to watch herself become the villain?

Cheaters beware! This Venezuelan legend tells of a vengeful spirit who appears to men who betray their wives, luring them in before revealing her monstrous face and unleashing a terrifying fate.

This episode is all about vengeance, justice, and the price of betrayal. Hit play, grab a drink, and let’s get into it!

Alright, spooky souls, this week we’re serving up a twisted true crime tale with a side of paranormal nightmares, because why settle for one kind of horror when we can have both?

What happens when a seemingly quiet chicken farm in 1920s California turns into a crime scene straight out of your worst nightmares? Kidnappings, deception, and a case so disturbing it inspired the movie Changeling. Couple that with a crumbling, cursed ruin deep in the Indiana woods, where legends claim witches once cast spells, dark rituals took place, and vengeful spirits still lurk.

This episode is a wild ride, and you won’t want to miss it! Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and hit play… if you dare. Cheers!

Buckle up, because today’s episode is bringing deadly women and deadly worms into the spotlight! We’re diving into the case of Aileen Wuornos, one of the most infamous female serial killers in history, and the Mongolian Death Worm, a cryptid said to slither through the Gobi Desert, killing with electric shocks and acid spray.

Aileen Wuornos – A woman who claimed self-defense but left behind a trail of bodies, Wuornos was labeled the “Damsel of Death” and became one of the most infamous serial killers of all time. But was she a cold-blooded murderer, or a product of a cruel and broken system?

The Mongolian Death Worm – A legendary desert horror, this thick, blood-red worm is said to spit venom, fry its victims with electricity, and kill on sight. But is this just an old folktale, or could something deadly really be lurking beneath the sands of Mongolia?

This episode is packed with true crime, cryptid chaos, and some eerie similarities between Aileen Wuornos and this monstrous legend. Tune in, leave a review, and tell me: Do you believe in the Mongolian Death Worm? And what are your thoughts on Wuornos’ case—was she truly evil, or was she doomed from the start?
