So. Many. Children. Hey, spooky friends! Welcome back to this ridiculous little spectacle we call Truth and Scare! This week Niko opens with the truly horrible story of Katherine Knight. Trigger warning for mutilation on that one. Cyndi lightens the mood though, with a wonderful peek into the history of San Diego's Whaley House AKA the most haunted house in America. SPOOKY!!!

Is your passport good for interdimensional travel? This week is a doozy folks, so get ready to pull some hairs out. Cyndi open this episode with the painfully obvious story of Ollie Herbert of All That Remains and his (black) widow. Please don't arrest us for our slander. Niko closes out with the classic tale of The Man From Taured. This mystery has been baffling people for decades, and it's as confusing here. That's enough though, let's get into this wackiness. Stay spooky, y'all!

Who else is pretty sure they aren't human? Show of hands. Well, after this episode you might be questioning it. This week, Niko starts us off with the Monster(s) of Florence. Possibly the grossest story we've heard, and somehow connected to the Zodiac killer? What?! Cyndi really nails the paranoia with a look into the world of Changelings. Apparently you might be one. Go look at an egg and see if you laugh I guess?

How do you feel about having your head turned 180 degrees? No? We get it. In this episode Cyndi covers one of our first international cases with the Moorhouse Murders and, more importantly, the WILD story of Kate Moir and her inspiring bravery and intelligence. But can we keep an episode serious and informative? NEVER! Niko takes a comedic look at Dante Alighieri's concept of hell and get this; it was so funny his computer couldn't handle it. That segment is re-recorded and don't worry, they still make fun of everything. We are so sorry. On a totally unrelated note, we officially have zero catholic listeners.

Bonus Time! This episode has some laughs and some uncomfortable stories- everything you need in a quarantine podcast! Cyndi saw Niko's perfect killer and raised a perfect... haunting. Take that as you will and enjoy our dumb jokes. Niko take the leftover time to read us the wonderful (ly terrifying) creepypasta "The No-Peeking Game" by JRT McMahon. (we got permission, don't worry). This one's just for kicks and giggles, but don't worry; we'll still post our normal episode on monday! Enjoy the extra treat, and as always- Stay spooky, y'all!

Subject is: laughing at things that aren't funny. Seriously though, this week get your full serving of both genuine and nerve-induced laughter. Niko tells us about the incredible (and completely insane) case of the Jamison Family Disappearance. Dog lovers WILL cry. But don't worry, because Cyndi takes us on a truly haunting journey into the history of ZOMBIES!!! Specifically, the origins of zombies in Haitian culture. Fascinating and much sadder than you expect. But as always, there's tons of  inappropriate laughter; why else would you listen to a murder show?

Let's be real, this episode is SAD. Cyndi kicks off with the story of Susan Poupart, and a deep dive into the long history of violence against Indigenous Women. Niko somehow makes the mood even heavier by talking about the classic conspiracy of MKUltra. This episode has a lot of sad topics and frustrating truths, so let's all be sad together. After all, misery makes the world go round.

Serious inquiry: Are birds people? This week Niko kicks off with a deep dive into the still-unsolved case of the West Mesa Bone Collector, which is probably the most frustrating case yet. Cyndi brings it back with a fun look at everyone's favorite cryptid, Mothman. Also potential vacay plans in Virginia? Stay tuned on that front.

This one's been long awaited, and the excitement is high; We got our first listener story! Shout out to Authr for sending it in! This episode opens with Cyndi and Niko's own personal spooky stories before we dive in to the actual horror that Authr brought to the table. Guardian angels, ghost cats, sleep paralysis, and maybe even a divine baptism? There's a lot going on.

Here we go again, spooky-ooky friends! This week Cyndi starts us off with the thrilling (and completely INSANE) story of the Golden State Killer. With recent updates! Then Niko takes us on another cursed adventure with a short and sweet look into The Hands Resist Him by Bill Stoneham (AKA The Haunted Ebay Painting). Overall this one is a ROLLERCOASTER. Let's dive in!
