The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode. This time we’re talking about something completely different!!

We're talking about native lands, communicable diseases, random disappearances, and traveling by ship. In this episode, we're talking about the mysterious and haunting disappearance of an entire colony, so haunting that archeologists are still scratching their heads to this day.

Today’s episode takes us back in time to the primitive and lush landscapes of Virginia, as we dive deep into the missing colonists and the native tribes in that area, along with wives' tales, the English, abandoned towns, and the story of a case that shocked even our own hosts.

Listen along with Rachel and Cat as we learn about the terrible history of what happened to the missing people and indigenous tribes of the Lost City of Roanoke also known as the Story of Croatoan.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re diving into one of Cat’s favorite unsolved cases… that was recently SOLVED.
We’re talking parking garages, grocery store mascots, fake names, and forensic breakthroughs - all tangled in a cold case that rattled law enforcement in the Pacific Northwest for decades. Today’s episode takes us back to Seattle, Washington, where the tragic disappearance of Susan Marie Millar Galvin - a vibrant receptionist with a bright future - remained a mystery for nearly 50 years.
Join Cat and Rachel as they unpack the chilling details, twisty timelines, and breakthrough DNA evidence that finally brought long-overdue answers to a case that has haunted them both.

It’s eerie, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable - with plenty of swearing and a dash of justice.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re diving into one of nature’s deadliest forces: HURRICANES.
We’re not just talking shoddy building codes and fake weather reports - we’re unpacking the catastrophic storm that nearly wiped Galveston, Texas off the map. In this episode, we revisit the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history: the 1900 Galveston Hurricane - a brutal, wind-fueled nightmare that left behind chaos, mass graves, and trauma that still lingers like a storm-cloud over the Gulf.
Join Rachel and Cat as we brave the storm to talk weathermen, crumbling infrastructure, haunted convents, and the sheer fury of Mother Nature when she’s in full rage mode.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re unwrapping the strange, spooky, and surprisingly sacred History of Hallowtide! From All Hallows’ Eve to All Saints’ Day and Día de los Muertos, we’re digging into the roots of this three-day festival of the dead.
We’re talking ancient customs, the real origins of Halloween, fake news about poisoned candy, the ever-important Candy Tax, and how different cultures and religions overlap when it comes to honoring the dearly departed.
For our thirteenth (and luckiest) October episode, Cat, Rachel, Em, and Meg are bringing the folklore, the frights, the swearing, and the spirited storytelling.

So light a candle, grab your fun-sized Snickers, and join us for a deep dive into hobgoblins, haunted history, and the things that knock after dark.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of MORE CRYPTIDS! We're talking mischievous mini-menaces from Native folklore, their hairy forest-dwelling cousins, and tales that make you think twice about camping ever again.
In this twelfth October installment of our Haunted ABC’s road trip, we’re headed deep into the woods to uncover the spine-tingling stories of Pukwudgies - tiny, deadly fae who do not play nice - and the ever-elusive (and probably stinky) Sasquatch.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode. This time, we’re getting lost inside a HAUNTED MANSION. That’s right: this week, we’re talking seances, ghostly apparitions, staircases that go nowhere, and the creepiest architectural fever dream to ever exist - the infamous Winchester Mystery House.

In this tenth episode of our Haunted October series, we’re spiraling through the twisted halls of San Jose’s most iconic spooky estate. From the cursed number 13 and bricked-up rooms, to trap doors and two-story drops straight to hell (probably), we’re exploring every weird, wild, and haunted corner of Sarah Winchester’s chaotic creation.

Join Cat, Rachel, and Em as they rant, cuss, and try not to get spiritually evicted by the many restless spirits still allegedly lurking inside.

One-inch staircases? Sealed rooms? Unfinished business from beyond the grave? Yeah. We’re in it now.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re talking MORE CRYPTIDS! We're diving headfirst into ancient shadow lore, chilling tales rooted in Native tradition, and the bedtime warnings that were never just stories.

In this ninth installment of our Haunted House series, we’re going full feral October - covering Benadryl comas, sleep paralysis demons, and the bone-chilling legend of the Hat Man (yep, the Shadow People are back and worse than ever).

Join Rachel and Cat as they spiral into stories of invisible terrors, ghoulish silhouettes, and the boogeymen who thrive in the dark.

There's folklore, cursing, questionable coping mechanisms, and a whole lot of side-eye for anything lurking in the corners.

Turn off the lights, press play, and prepare to meet the creatures that come for you after the bedtime story ends.
