Spooky B*tch Walk

The Azalea Pet Cemetery in St. Bernard Parish, LA, was a beautiful place for people to lay their beloved pets to rest. It should have been a peaceful oasis, but the land it was on had a haunting past. Many believe this land is cursed. But Dorothy Thompson and her mother lived on the property anyway. Sadly, Dorothy would be murdered on this land, but that wasn’t the end of her story. Multiple people claimed to have seen her ghost after her passing, and they believed she was crying out for justice. It took over 20 years, but Dorothy finally got justice partially due to her persistence even in death.

Come alone with Hannah and Bob as they discuss Louisiana law, why does anyone have chains, and where did all the anvils go?

When Deborah Wolfe was late for her shift as a nurse two days after Christmas in 1985, her boss and coworkers were immediately worried. Debbie had never been late. They contacted her mom when they were unable to get ahold of Debbie by phone. Debbie’s mom, step-dad, and a family friend went to Debbie’s house where they found the home in disarray and her dogs unfed. They contacted police who didn’t investigate until five days later. 

Debbie’s body was found in a large metal barrel in the pond on her property. This barrel mysteriously disappeared shortly after and police denied that there had ever been a barrel at all. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning, but her family has always suspected foul play. 

Come along with Hannah and her mom as they discuss cats, Halloween costumes, and Captain Jack Sparrow.

In August 1892, Lizzie Borden took an axe and killed her step-mother and father. Maybe. She was acquitted, but in the court of public opinion, she was guilty. The nursery rhyme “Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother forty wacks…” had already started being sung by children in Fall River, MA, before her trial even began. Lizzie endured people gawking at and whispering about her for the rest of her life even though there was no solid evidence linking her to the crime. There wasn’t any solid evidence linking anyone else to the crime either.  

It’s been 134 years since Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered in their home in broad daylight, but this case is still talked about today because it is so baffling. Just when you think you’ve solved it, another piece of evidence comes up that changes your mind. 

Come along with Hannah and Jessica as they discuss Scooby-Doo, ankles, and the Summer Sickies.

In the 1960s, there were so many UFO sightings near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, that one reporter was assigned to cover only these claims. In November 1966, residents started reporting seeing a large muscular man with giant wings and glowing red eyes. This creature eventually became known as the Mothman. Many people believe the Mothman was an alien or was sent by the government to distract from all of the UFO and alien sightings. The Mothman is celebrated in Point Pleasant every year at the Mothman Festival which has become the largest festival in the entire state. 

Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss chocolate, the Mothman’s good looks, and bridges vs helicopters.

We all know the story. In 1692, citizens of Salem, MA, were accused, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for witchcraft. But there is so much more to the story. In total, 19 people were hanged after being convicted of being a witch, but more people died as a result of these proceedings and the entire community was forever changed by this very brief period of time. The witch hunt lasted only a few months, but the citizens of Salem had to live the rest of their lives knowing their neighbors had accused them of a crime that was punishable by death.

Despite its dark past, Salem is a vibrant, inclusive community where everyone is free to be exactly who they are without fear of judgement.    

Come along with Hannah and Jessica as they discuss the Salem witch hunt but mostly how much they love Salem.   

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of hangings, homicide, child abuse, and general injustice. Listener discretion is advised.

At the corner of Pines Road and Route 2 in Oregon, IL, a building that was constructed over 100 years ago still stands. The Road House has been many things throughout its existence including a general store, a speakeasy, a gambling hall, and a restaurant. Many people have passed through its doors and some never left. The owner believes the spirit of a young woman who was murdered nearby in 1948 haunts the grounds along with something he suspects is more sinister. 

Come along with Hannah and her mom as they discuss Frozen, slot parlors being everywhere, and Brad and Leo.

In October 2019, two women from neighboring towns in Florida were murdered on the same day by the same man. Their cases weren’t connected right away because there was nothing that connected these two women; they were strangers. It wasn’t until police received a tip from a father, reporting his son had killed these two women, that they knew for sure. Wade Wilson had called and told his dad everything including where he was hiding out. Because his dad did the right thing, they were able to locate and arrest Wade that night. 

Unfortunately, Wade had a track record of abusing and sexually assaulting women. He had been arrested multiple times in the past but was always released and was sometimes even bailed out by the women he abused. This time though, he would be tried, convicted, and placed on death row. 

Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss pumpkin spice everything, Joe’s Crab Shack, and Presa Canario puppies.

In 2025, Hooters (yes, that Hooters) declared bankruptcy and said they wanted to go back to their family friendly roots. In this episode, Hannah tells Bob all about their roots and the ideals that the original Hooters was based on. Because of these ideals, the servers at Hooters were often viewed as objects by their customers which lead to some really scary situations and possibly even murder. 

Between 1997 and 2002, there were three murders in multiple states with connections to Hooters restaurants. In early 2010, within weeks of each other, there were two more murders of young women who had connections to Hooters as well. Hooters never commented on any of these murders or offered condolences or support to the victims’ families. But Hooters itself isn’t necessarily the problem; the biggest problem with all of these murders was men believing women owed them something or viewing women as less than or thinking someone being nice to them is the same as a genuine romantic interest. 

Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss extolling rain’s virtues, wearing bright orange khakis, and the ABCs (Always Be Cautious).

Welcome to the first Spooky B*tch Sprint! In this episode, Hannah tells Bob about the Naga Fireballs. The Naga Fireball Festival occurs every October in Thailand to celebrate the mystical glowing balls that shoot up from the Mekong River. Legend has it the Naga, which are giant serpents that live in the river, shoot up these fireballs every year in celebration of the end of Vassa, a Buddhist tradition. There are multiple theories for why this phenomenon might occur including flammable gases, Laos soldiers firing flares, or that it’s just a hoax. But we at Spooky B*tch Walk like to think it’s the Naga sending up fireballs of joy.

In 2017, Skylar Richardson was a senior in high school. She had struggled with an eating disorder in the past so her parents were pleasantly surprised when she started gaining weight. She looked happy and healthy. Skylar was popular and had a boyfriend. Her mom insisted Skylar get on birth control if she was going to have a serious boyfriend so she scheduled an appointment with a doctor. During this appointment, her mom stayed in the waiting room and Skylar went back by herself. When she came out of her appointment, it was clear Skylar had been crying but her mom didn’t ask any questions. 

What Skylar’s parents didn’t know was that Skylar was keeping a big secret: she was pregnant and was due around the time of her senior prom. Skylar delivered her baby by herself in the bathroom at home and when she discovered that the baby wasn’t breathing, she buried her in the backyard of the Richardson home and told no one. 

Once this was discovered, Skylar was accused of murdering her baby which she emphatically denied. After an interrogation where she was seemingly coerced into confessing that she had burned her baby, she was arrested and brought to trial. Luckily, the jury was able to see who Skylar really was and acquitted her of the murder and manslaughter charges.
