Chandler Halderson had a bright future...or at least, that’s what he told everyone. But when quiet questions started being asked at home, he chose a solution far darker than the truth. Within days, his parents were missing, and the life he had so carefully constructed began to unravel. In today’s episode, we explore how Chandler's deception spiraled into an unthinkable crime... and how the cracks in his story (and Snapchat) ultimately exposed it all.

No sources needed. Just listener trauma.

Today we explore the glamour, ghosts, and history behind the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. After opening its doors in 1927, the hotel became the epicenter of Old Hollywood, hosting the first Academy Awards and housing legends like Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. But beneath all the fame also lies tragedy…including the 1962 death of actress Clara Blandick, AKA Auntie Em. In this episode, we examine the hotel’s lingering ghost stories, documented deaths, and eerie energy that continues to draw guests nearly a century later.

In January 2013, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead inside a rolled up wrestling mat at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. His death was ruled an accident caused by positional asphyxia, but the case has since been reopened, re-examined, and debated nationwide. In this episode, we examine the security camera inconsistencies, the six-hour delay in notifying the coroner, conflicting autopsy findings, allegations involving fellow students and an FBI-connected family, and the anonymous email sent to the Sheriff’s Department. What really happened to Kendrick Johnson? What remains unproven? And how do procedural failures shape public trust?

Tune in as we examine all of the theories.

In January 1996, a quiet Brazilian city became the center of one of the most disturbing and controversial paranormal cases on record. What began as three sisters encountering a strange, non-human creature in a residential neighborhood quickly escalated into military convoys, sealed hospital wings, anonymous medical testimony, and the sudden death of a young military police officer. Often referred to as “Brazil’s Roswell,” the Varginha Incident is a story of eyewitnesses who never recanted, officials who offered explanations that didn’t match the response, and a community left with more questions than answers. Drawing heavily from the documentary Moment of Contact, this episode breaks down the timeline, the witnesses, the government’s claims, and why so many people believe the truth was buried.

This isn’t just a UFO story — it’s a case about secrecy, power, and what happens when official narratives don’t align with lived experience.

Government cover-ups. Strange creatures. Medical anomalies.

You decide what happened.

Disneyland may be the happiest place on Earth, but after dark, something else takes over. In this episode of Suspects & Spirits, we explore eerie encounters shared by a former cast member and his father—haunted hotel hallways, rides with phantom passengers, a restaurant booth where chairs move on their own, and many more. Join me as we step inside the parts of Disneyland that were never meant to be discovered. Because when the gates close… not everyone leaves.

What once appeared to be a clear-cut case begins to unravel as investigators take a second look at the evidence. In Part two, we explore a troubling timeline, overlooked physical details, and new testimony that raises serious questions about a story that was accepted far too quickly. As long-held assumptions are challenged, the investigation moves back inside the Winger home...where the truth proves far darker and far more complex than anyone first believed.
