What the Forensics

Extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile are words we've all heard describe Ted Bundy. This episode we discuss Ted Bundy's heinous crimes and the lives of his victims before they were murdered. His killing spree supposedly began in January 1974 and went until February 1978 when he was finally apprehended. We discuss his escapes from jail (yes, escapes plural), his trials (yes, trials plural), and the bitemark evidence that finally put him away. Unfortunately, we don't delve into the "science" of forensic odontology since we covered it in Episode 25, so if you care to learn more about the inaccuracy of bitemark evidence you can go listen to that episode.

There is a listener’s discretion advised as there are detailed descriptions of assault, sexual assault and some of his victims were children. Even though he was a necrophile, we did not go into that.

This week we talk all about CIA Black Sites. Rebecca does an amazing job on educating us on what is classified as a black site and the types of atrocities that are going on in them. She tells us stories about people who have survived them and were found not guilty for whichever crime they were brought there for. If you've ever wanted to know more about CIA activity in places similar to Guantanamo Bay, this is the episode for you.

There are conversations of torture and state sanctioned violence so listen with care.

That's suspicious....

This episode we discuss the Oakville Blobs, Bigfoot, and the Dyatlov Pass incident. These three topics create an episode you don't want to miss!! Oh! And it's also our 100th episode!! Thank you so much for your continued support. We wouldn't be here without you!! Here's to at least 100 more ❤️

On August 7, 1994, Oakville, Washington experienced some weird gelatinous rain. These blobs were uniform in shape and cause human & animal sicknesses. Over the next month it happened 7 more times, only in Oakville. Luckily, the next 7 rainfalls didn't cause any illnesses in humans or animals. Even weirder, the samples collected disappeared so no one knows what these blobs were.

Bigfoot, a cryptid that is a common character in American & Canadian folklore. He has been seen off and on since the 1800s in North America and there have been sightings all over the world under different names. There are many different types of Bigfoot, some of which we explore in this episode.

Ten experienced ski hikers, 8 men and 2 women, set out to embark on a 14 day expedition in the northern Ural Mountains in Russia on January 27, 1959. They never returned and the investigation into their deaths has been weird, to say the least. Between radioactive clothing, unexplained injuries, and a guy wearing two watches stopped at two different times, this story is wild!!

In this episode we discuss the conditions that led up to the Attica uprising as well as the reforms that resulted from it. It's important that we learn from this disaster as the conditions that these prisoners were living in should never be repeated. Prison riots are scary but this one needed to happen because these prisoners were being deprived of so many of their basic rights. Join us as we talk all about what went on that led to the Attica Uprising in 1971.

In this spine-tingling episode, we dive into the eerie legend and history of the Sarah Winchester House—a sprawling, maze-like mansion built by the heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune. Said to be haunted by the ghosts of those killed by her family’s invention, Sarah Winchester reportedly constructed the house non-stop for 38 years to appease restless spirits.

But how much of this tale is truth, and how much is myth? We explore the architectural oddities, paranormal claims, and psychological theories behind the infamous Winchester Mystery House. Was Sarah driven by grief, guilt, or something more supernatural?

Join us as we unravel the truth behind one of America’s most mysterious and haunted homes.
