To Die For

This week we head across the pond to Norfolk, UK and Lizza definitely butchers plenty of English pronunciations. England has some incredible history and we look into the Stanfield Hall Murders by James Blomfield Rush which includes a crazy plots, bad disguise, media frenzy, ceramic figurines and even phrenology. Then we head over to investigate the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. This one goes way back to the 1700s, English politics, affairs, jealousy and the most famous spirit photo in the UK. Join us for this ceramics infused jaunt!

This week we are getting in the WAY, WAY BACK machine and heading to ancient Egypt and you can bet your ass Lizza squeeeed the whole time she was researching this topic. King Tut is now one of the most widely known Pharaoh's from ancient Egypt even though his reign was virtually forgotten after he died. Howard Carter discovered this forgotten boy king's tomb in 1922 and that is when things started getting weird. Get ready for a short history lesson, weird juju, and some dream crushing in another tangent filled episode of To Die For.

Welcome back to episode ten and Lolo is back with us! This week we go on one hell of a trip to wackadoodle land and we look into the cases of the Greenbrier Ghost as well as that of Carl Tanzler. There are of course lots of tangents, a ta-ta towel or two and some shout outs to Lizza's 2 favorite podcasts, Wine and Crime and And That's Why We Drink. So get comfy and maybe leave the snacking for later as we go on this wild ride.

Welcome back to episode 9 and our the conclusion to our two-parter! We are sticking with the Dolls theme for some extra good creepiness. And to add another first to the podcast we are graced with our first guest host, Brit! Lolo got trapped in the muggle land of teaching responsibilities and wasn’t able to join Lizza for the paranormal story this week. Luckily Lizza’s burlesque bestie is also addicted to true crime and the paranormal and stepped in. We do get Lolo for the second half of the Ken and Barbie killers, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Then we head to somewhere, USA for Annabelle the Doll, a new Life Lesson with Lizza, and another run in with the legendary Warrens. Grab your favorite stuffy, or a Raggedy Ann doll if you dare, and settle in for some serious heebie jeebies.

Welcome back to episode 8 and our very first two-parter! Lizza apparently has a bit of a mean streak because this week's topics is dolls and Lolo hates it! We head on over to Toronto, Canada and explore Paul Bernardo's role as the Scarborough Rapist and his and Karla Homolka's descent into the lives of the Ken and Barbie murderers. Then we head south to Key West, Florida for Florida Doll (instead of Florida man, get it???) Robert the Doll currently lives in a museum but that hasn't stopped his antics. Find out what those are and the legend of his creation. And oh ya, Lolo's cat is in heat and waiting to go to the vet so there are some random ass cat sounds. Enjoy!

Welcome back to To Die For and episode 7 where we dive into classic  horror with the Amityville house. We start off with the tragic and  super weird murders of almost the entire Defeo family. We follow that up with the Lutz  family who moved into the Defeo home not long after. Things get weird fast with angry voices, levitation and even a demon pig named Jodie. A book was written, a movie (+ or - 20) was released and the  validity is debated to this day. Strap in for another tangent filled  trip down memory lane.

Don't worry about checking your audio, it's supposed to sound like that. Have fun listening to a short little clip of the random stuff that doesn't make it into the episode. Check out our Instagram @todieforpodcast for the pics to go along with these shenanigans. Enjoy!

 It’s week six and we are going on a virtual, Covid 19 quarantine, excursion to Lolo’s current home town/area, Orange County California. You would think all that sunshine and shoreline would help keep people happy but you still end up with total sleaze bags like Daniel Wozniak. After that we travel to the “Happiest Place on Earth” and one of Lizza’s favoritist places EVER (yes, I know, favoritist is not a real world): Disneyland! Disneyland may be the home of 999 Happy Haunts in the Haunted Mansion, but they have apparently picked up some extra ghostly hitch hikers in the years since they opened. Join us for another tangent filled adventure full of twists and turns, and I’m not just talking the rides in the park!

It’s week five and we are slicing into today’s theme: Nurses (see what I did there?) First off, nurses kick so much ass that we are in awe of them. …….. Beyond that we hear the story of Susan Kuhnhausen who just might be a ninja in a nurse disguise. This queen is a bad ass bitch. Then we head on over to one of, or depending on your sources, THE most haunted building in America, Waverly Hills Sanitorium. In an episode that got a little too real with today’s climate we manage to keep up the inane rants and tangents and even throw in some SUPER frowny face.

We made it to week four and we are spending our time in the Big Apple at the Dakota Apartment building. First we cover the tragic murder of The Beatles’ John Lennon and then move on to the plethora of ghosts, including Lennon himself, who call the Dakota home. From crazed born-again Christians to little girl ghosts, plus ridiculous cat tangents and some weird conversations about Peeps, this episode has a little bit of everything, including the creation of Life Lessons with Lizza!
