This week, Rachel, Cat, and Em dive axe-first into one of America's most infamous murder cases - the story of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Andrew Borden.

Accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother in 1892, Lizzie was tried and acquitted… but the mystery (and the ghost stories) never died.

Join us as we hack into the twisted timeline of events, the scandalous trial, and the legacy Lizzie left behind - including a house that’s reportedly just as haunted as her reputation.

Expect Victorian repression, questionable alibis, spectral sightings, and the occasional unhinged theory from Cat. (Spoiler: the ghost is NOT more polite than the living.)

Was Lizzie a cold-blooded killer, a misunderstood daughter, or just a victim of the patriarchy and poor press?

Tune in for a paranormal-packed, true crime romp through Fall River’s darkest legend.

This week, it’s just your favorite witches, Cat and Rachel, flying full-speed into the most chilling true crime rabbit hole we've ever fallen into. A viral Facebook post from Mendocino County has ignited whispers, gasps, and full-blown Zodiac Killer theories - because one woman claims her own father is not only a mass un-aliver, but possibly the infamous Zodiac.

Dr. Jon Charles Trefil, a retired psychiatrist who is now living in a care facility, is at the center of this wild and terrifying storm. His daughter, Galina, has spent years trying to get law enforcement to take her seriously, and now the internet has joined in on the investigation.

From possible murder weapon handoffs to buried bodies in Mendocino forests, to eerie overlaps with the Zodiac's known crimes, we're laying it all out in the open.

We’re talking alleged confessions, law enforcement standstills, and a potential body count that spans decades and continents. Oh, and don’t worry - we’re also digging into the Zodiac case itself, comparing timelines, handwriting, and vibes. Because of course we are.

If you’ve ever wondered if the Zodiac Killer was your creepy neighbor… buckle up. This one’s messy, haunting, and full of twisted family secrets. True crime, possible possession, and a hefty sprinkle of chaos - just how we like it.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this time, we’re diving into one of the most chilling and frustrating unsolved murders caught on camera.

What do you get when you mix a Star Wars-loving, Harry Potter-obsessed woman, a mysterious hooded figure, and a brazen execution in broad daylight? You get the case of Elizabeth Barraza - a crime that is as senseless as it is terrifying.

Join Cat and Rachel as they break down the haunting final moments of Elizabeth’s life: a normal morning in her Texas driveway, setting up for a garage sale, until a hooded figure approaches, speaks to her briefly, and then - without warning - opens fire.

Who was the killer?

Why did they seem so calm and calculated?

How the hell has no one been arrested, despite the crime being caught on video?

We’re talking mystery cars, eerie coincidences, a still-grieving husband, and a motive that just doesn’t add up. Buckle up, because this case will have you double-checking your security cameras and side-eyeing every hooded figure in sight.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this time, we’re talking about one of history’s OG black widows - a sweet little lady who loved taking care of the elderly… right up until they mysteriously dropped dead.

Amy Archer-Gilligan ran a cozy little "rest home" in Connecticut, where the elderly could live out their golden years in peace. The only problem? They didn’t last long.

With an alarming number of residents dying suspiciously fast (and right after signing over their life savings), people started asking questions - like why Amy was buying arsenic by the bucket.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Em as they dive into this twisted tale of poison, greed, and one seriously shady business model.

Did Amy love money more than morals?

How did she manage to keep the bodies piling up for years without getting caught?

How did her crimes inspire one of Broadway’s most famous dark comedies?

Warning: If you have a grandma who loves baking and mysteriously mentions life insurance, you may want to double-check that tea she just poured you.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this time, we’re diving into a case that had America clutching its pearls and setting torches ablaze - the one and only Casey Anthony.

You know her. You hate her. But do you know all the absurd, frustrating, and downright infuriating twists in this case?

The Pandemonium team is back, and this time, we’re lighting a fire under one of the most baffling unsolved cases in true crime history - the Sodder Children case!

What do you get when you mix a mysterious house fire, five missing children, suspicious insurance salesmen, and possible Mafia involvement? You get a tale that is equal parts tragic, infuriating, and shady as hell.

The Pandemonium team is taking a deep dive - literally - into one of the most legendary cryptids of all time - and Meg's personal favorite cryptid.

Is Nessie a prehistoric sea monster?

A very confused eel?

Or just an elaborate hoax that refuses to die?

With over 1,100 recorded sightings, sonar scans, grainy photos, and even a government-seized mystery corpse (yes, really), the Loch Ness Monster remains one of the greatest mysteries of our time. We’re talking ancient folklore, fake fossils, monster-hunting expeditions gone wrong, and a magician who claimed he summoned Nessie from the deep.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Meg as they wade through decades of hoaxes, scientific studies, and truly unhinged theories in search of the truth. Is there something lurking beneath the murky waters of Loch Ness, or is this just the world’s longest-running tourist trap? Grab your bagpipes and a dram of whisky - this one’s a beast.

The Pandemonium team is back with another unhinged episode – and you guessed it - it’s time for some MERDER! This week, we’re scrubbing into the twisted tale of jealousy, deception, and deadly obsession deep in the cactus-lined heart of Texas.

We’re talking nurses, fake suicides, secret lovers, and one hell of a shady supply closet. In this episode, we unravel the chilling case of Traci Rhodes - a woman who played the role of a grieving wife while spinning a web of lies so outrageous, even the cops had trouble believing her.

Spoiler alert: her husband’s “sewer-slide” wasn’t quite what it seemed.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Meg as they dive into the sun-scorched mystery of a nurse with secrets, a husband who never saw it coming, and a crime so audacious it left a Texas town, and your hosts, absolutely speechless.
