Trigger Warnings this episode: Necrophilia at 9:50, Description of Injury and Necrophilia at 27:32, and Cannibalism at 45:38.

Alana wasn't messing around when we said High Profile! Meet Ed Kemper, one of the first cases of criminal psychology! Ed Kemper was a monster through and through, claiming 10 lives, including members of his own family. On top of the high kill count, Kemper committed unspeakable acts upon his victims, all while hiding in plain sight. It's a rough one, but an important one, if anything just to make fun of Big Ed... In this episode we cover Kemper's final 4 victims, his arrest, and the legacy his crimes left behind. A bittersweet end to a terrible tale.

Trigger warnings this episode: Domestic Abuse at 22:22

This week the catogory is Hearts and Spades, our crimes of the heart catagory. Lady takes us on the harrowing journey of Michelina Lewandowska, a beautiful young polish woman who would find herself in the absolutely worst situation: Buried Alive. This is a scary episode, not only for the crime, but also because of how recent it is. But not to worry, it'll take more than an early grave to stop this badass of a woman.

Trigger warnings this episode: Incest at 24:01

Enter one of the most gruesome and puzzling cases in German history, the Hinterkaifeck Murders. It was a day like any other, march 31st 1922, and the Gruber family was getting settled for the night alongside their brand new maid. But this was not a day like any other, and the 6 people living in this Bavarian farmhouse would meet their tragic end by morning.
In this Episode, Lady takes us through the history and the run up to that tragic day. Because not only is this case horrific and strange, it also features possible ghosts, vanishing household items, and "nocturnal noises."

Tailypo.... Tailypo....

This episode is a slice of personal history as Alana tells us all about the monster that lurked under her bed. It's creepy, it's menacing, and it's up to the Spookery Gals to make it 1000 times worse. This Cryptid and Folklore episode has everything, from chilling nighttime tales, to an arts and crafts section, and we even break down the creative writing process! And who knows... maybe it'll awake a core memory of some long forgotten childhood horror like it did with Lady...
