A teacher-student relationship that allegedly crossed every possible line.In this episode, we’re diving into the disturbing allegations surrounding former Arizona teachers Hailey Beck and Angela Burlaka, and the student at the center of the investigation.From thousands of alleged text messages and inappropriate gifts, to claims of manipulation, favoritism, and explicit behavior, this case quickly spiraled far beyond what anyone expected.

Investigators say the student received money, alcohol, drugs, special treatment in class, and constant communication that blurred the line between authority figure and exploitation.We’re discussing the allegations, the reported evidence, the internet’s reaction, and the uncomfortable reality of how grooming can sometimes be disguised as attention, affection, or “special treatment.”Because when adults abuse positions of trust…the damage goes way beyond the classroom.

What’s hiding beneath Columbia, South Carolina?In this episode, we’re diving into the rumored tunnels and “catacombs” hidden underneath the city… and the terrifying legend tied to them. From abandoned steam tunnels and underground passageways beneath USC, to sightings of a silver-skinned figure with a third eye in the middle of his forehead, the story of the Third Eye Man has haunted Columbia for decades.Was he a disfigured man living underground?A shared hallucination brought on by darkness and fear?Or something far stranger lurking beneath the city?We’re covering the documented sightings from the 1940s and beyond, the tunnel rumors connected to the University of South Carolina, and the theories that still keep students out of the tunnels today.Because some urban legends fade away.And some stay buried underground… waiting.

What if the weather isn’t as natural as we think?From hurricanes and droughts to freak snowstorms, there’s a growing belief that someone… somewhere… might be pulling the strings.In this episode, we’re diving into government weather manipulation—what’s real, what’s been proven, and what lives purely in conspiracy. From cloud seeding and its very real impact on rainfall, to Operation Popeye, to the theories surrounding HAARP and the long-debated idea of chemtrails…Because here’s the thing...governments have experimented with weather before. That part isn’t up for debate.The real question is how far it goes.Is extreme weather just the result of climate change?Is it a mix of science and something more controlled?Or are we connecting dots that were never meant to be connected?Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

When you hear “fairy,” you probably picture something small, glowing, and harmless.But the original stories?They were never meant to be comforting.In this episode, we’re diving into the real folklore behind the fae. These powerful, unpredictable beings from Celtic tradition were believed to exist alongside us… just out of sight.We’re talking about the rules people followed to avoid angering them, the terrifying idea of changelings, and the stories of people who stepped into their world… and came back to find years had passed.Because to the people who believed in them, the fae weren’t magical little creatures.They were something you respected.Something you feared.And maybe… something that never actually left.Email us your stories: [email protected]Follow us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

In this episode, we’re diving into the stories people don’t usually say out loud like voices calling from the woods, animals that don’t move quite right, and the long-standing warnings passed down for generations.Most people call them “skinwalkers.” But that word doesn’t actually belong to Appalachia, and what’s happening in these mountains might be something else entirely.We’re breaking down where these stories come from, how social media amplified them, and what could really be behind the sightings.Because whether it’s myth, misidentification, or something older… one rule always stays the same:If something calls your name from the woods…no it didn’t.Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube —    / @zombabespodcast  Twitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

What if everything beneath your feet… wasn’t what it seemed?The Hollow Earth theory claims that deep below the surface of our planet lies something hidden—vast spaces, lost civilizations, maybe even entire worlds.But this idea didn’t start as a conspiracy.From early scientific theories by Edmond Halley to polar exploration myths and Cold War secrecy tied to figures like Richard E. Byrd, the Hollow Earth theory has evolved for centuries.In this episode, we’re not asking if it’s real—we’re asking why people have believed it for so long.Because sometimes the most interesting part of a theory… isn’t the claim.It’s what it says about us.Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

Megachurches are bigger than ever with massive crowds, viral performances, and pastors with millions of followers.But as these churches grow in size, influence, and wealth… more people are starting to ask questions.In this episode, we take a closer look at modern megachurch culture, how they operate, what they prioritize, and why it’s becoming so controversial.From pastors like Mike Todd and Joel Osteen to institutions like Lakewood Church, we explore the line between faith, influence, and entertainment, and where that line might be getting blurred.This isn’t about attacking religion.It’s about asking the question:When an institution built on humility starts to look like a business… what does that mean?Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser
