Anthony Pignataro looked like a successful cosmetic surgeon… but behind the image was a dangerous fraud. His basement surgery practice left patients mutilated and led to the death of 26-year-old Sarah Smith during a routine procedure.After prison and the loss of his medical license, the nightmare continued. Pignataro’s wife Debbie became mysteriously ill, and doctors discovered extreme levels of arsenic in her body—evidence of a slow, intentional poisoning.From fake credentials to fatal negligence and attempted murder, this is a chilling true crime case about ego, control, and the deadly cost of trust.Listener discretion advised.

What if organ transplants do more than save your life? What if it changes who you are?

Some transplant recipients claim that after receiving an organ, their tastes, emotions, and even memories began to shift.  From sudden food preferences to unexplained emotions, these stories raise an unsettling question: can parts of a donor live on in more ways than one?

In this episode of ZomBabes, we explore the controversial idea of “cellular memory,” the science that challenges it, and the stories that refuse to be easily explained.

What started as assumed high school drama quickly turned into nearly two years of relentless harassment, suspicion, and fear in a small Michigan town.

Friends were blamed. Families turned on each other. Police chased lead after lead — while the real culprit remained hidden in plain sight.

On New Year’s Eve 2018, Army Sgt. Tyrone Hassel III was visiting family in Michigan when he was shot and killed in the driveway of his childhood home. At first, investigators believed the crime was random. Was it a robbery, a mistake, or a hit gone wrong? Tyrone was a devoted father, a respected soldier, and someone with no known enemies.

As the investigation unfolded, a far darker truth emerged. What appeared to be unimaginable loss soon revealed betrayal, deception, and a carefully planned murder involving the person closest to him.

In early December, children in Austria don’t just wait for St. Nicholas. They fear what comes with him. If you’ve been bad, you don’t get coal… you get Krampus.

Half man, half goat, and rooted in ancient pagan winter traditions, Krampus has haunted the Alpine region for centuries. Armed with chains, sticks, and a sack for kidnapping naughty children, he became the dark counterpart to St. Nicholas, rewarding the good and punishing the bad.

We explore the legend of Krampus, the chaotic night where adults still dress as the creature and flood the streets, keeping this Christmas nightmare alive.

Before Reddit threads and modern sightings, there was Betty and Barney Hill. In 1961, a strange light in the sky, missing time, and haunting memories turned a quiet drive home into America’s first widely known alien abduction.

We break down the Hills’ chilling story, then explore modern encounters that echo the same patterns. Bright lights. Lost time. And experiences people swear are real.

This week, we’re heading to ancient Greece—where the gods perfected the art of punishment. Joined by the thunderous Luke Holt (the voice of Zeus in Epic: The Musical), we dive into myths built on eternal suffering: Prometheus’ endless torment, Sisyphus’ futile climb, Tantalus’ unreachable hunger, and Niobe’s eternal grief.

Turn down the lights… this one gets mythically dark.

Twenty stab wounds. A locked apartment. No signs of a struggle. And a ruling that never added up.

In this episode, we dig into the baffling and controversial death of Ellen Rae Greenberg, a 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher found stabbed multiple times—ten wounds to her back—despite police calling it a suicide. We break down the inconsistencies, the evidence that was never tested, the shifting medical examiner rulings, and the political pressure that has shadowed this case for over a decade.

Was this really suicide… or a staged scene hiding something darker?
