Strikes My Fancy

Starting off 2021 with a fresh question from my mind- where do we go when we dream? Come explore with me as I dive into what dreaming is, different types of dreams, and whether or not we travel to alternate worlds when dream. Buckle up, babes, it's a wild ride!

Two of my favorite things crossover today in this Christmassy paranormal episode about St. Nick's dark counterpart, Krampus. I'm joined by my dark counterpart, paranormal enthusiast Caleb Schadeck, host of The Paranormal Burrito. We talk about the legend of the goat demon himself, the 2015 film, Krampus cards, and even a few Krampus encounters. You better not miss this episode or you might find switches in your stocking on Christmas morning.

2020 has been a year full of unprecedented losses: from social lives, to divorce, and even death; humanity as a whole has lost so many things and we have been tossed headfirst into various stages of grief. When it feels like you are being pummeled by the waves of grief, how do you get up and catch your breath? How do you move forward and not drown? In the third installment of my mental health series, Ashley Nollenberger LPC sits down with me to outline grief: what it looks like, how to push through it, and how to start healing. You are not alone and its okay to not be okay.

After a long dry period due to a broken computer, Strikes My Fancy is back with fresh content for your ears! Kaila and her husband Joe team up to bring you tipsy true tales of holiday humor and horror. Some stories were sent in by you, and others were collected from the recesses of the internet. But all are sure to entertain. Happy Holidays, and may your mishaps be minute this holiday season!

You guys voted on what episode you wanted, and Unsolved Mysteries took the cake. So today I'm launching with an unsolved murder at the Hinterkaifeck Homestead. I'm sorry I was absent the last two weeks, but my computer was out of commission. But now I'm back and better than ever! Stay curious.

Kaila and Meg discuss the common traits and childhoods of serial killers, compare sociopaths versus psychopaths, and discuss five serial killer myths. To finish off this massive serial killer episode, they tell the tales of two lesser known and unique serial killers: Derrick Todd Lee and Nanny Doss the Giggling Granny.
