Happy Halloween listeners!

After recently taking a little trip upstate to Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow I thought no better time to discuss the infamous legend of the Headless Horseman and how it came to be. Strap in because you are in for some history, a spooky tale and the origins of the frightening spirit the Irish call the Dullahan.

Thank you all for tuning in and please do not forget to like and subscribe wherever you listen!

In today’s episode, we are going to be doing something a little different. We will cover two bone chilling short stories that are so beyond creepy that it’ll be almost hard to believe and will leave you never looking at mannequins the same way again.

The first story is called The Hanging Outlaw about a hanging fun house wax figure that has a gnarly history and the second story is called The Living Doll of Key West about a radiologist that finds his obsession in a one-sided love affair and takes it a little too far.

In part two of "The Family",

It is the 1970s now and Anne Hamilton-Byrne has gone from creating her own cult to getting her followers and worshipers to steal children to have for her own. Anne and her husband Bill would have the help of doctors and nurses working at Anne's psychiatric ward to steal 14 children. 14 more would later join this group of children from the followers giving birth hand handing them over. Horrendously enough, these 24 kids would undergo the worst treatment at a designated property Anne called Uptop. Listen and learn about the terrible story that made this cult be deemed one of the worst that Australia has ever seen.

In this episode,

we are covering a pretty crazy duo of cases. In 1960's New York, the LGBTQ+ community is struck with fear and outrage when dismembered remains of queer locals wash up in trash bags on the Hudson River. Paul Bateson, later arrested for a separate murder reportedly claims to be the serial killer behind these brutal 'Bag Murders', but was he?
