Where Murder Meets Mystery

Hey Ghoulfriends! Where Murder Meets Mystery is back for episode 26....season 2 episode 1? IDK we'll figure that out later - let's get to the good stuff. Grace's Case covers the The Disappearance of Brandon Swanson. His eery disappearance had Marisa theorizing if he was taken by aliens, was a victim of a hit and run, or potentially jumped dimensions? While the case is still cold, Grace covers all the details. Marisa's Mystery covers the Huldufolk, better known as the hidden people of Iceland, and even nicknamed the Elves of Iceland. These invisible creatures are quite mischievous but the locals love and protect them. 

We hope you enjoy the episode and as always email us at [email protected] and follow us on IG @WhereMurderMeetsMystery 

Catch you next week!

Hey Ghoulfriends, welcome back to our final episode of Season 1! We are so grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown us these past 25 episodes. Don’t worry though. We’ll be back on our bullshit when Season 2 airs in June, bringing all the murder, all the mystery, and all the shenanigans. HAGS! 

This week Grace’s Case covers our first ever fan request: the horrifying happenings in the infamous Murder Castle, and the dastardly deeds of the notorious Mr. H.H. Holmes. And as for Marisa’s Mystery? Ok, so I know we always say Marisa dives deep, but this week…we mean it! Marisa sails across the pond to explore the monster, the myth, the legend, Ms. Nessie of the Loch!

Welcome to episode 21! Grace's case covers the fatal affair between Mark Gerardot, Meredith Chapman, and Jennair Cox. Jennair grew suspicious that her newly long distanced relationship was making her husbands heart grow fonder, but not for her. 

Marisa's Mystery is a classic cryptid... the Jersey Devil! Or the Leeds Devil... or the New Jersey Devil - whatever name you prefer. There are state birds, trees, flowers, and now monsters? This cryptid made such a big impact that New Jersey's NHL team is named after it. 

Thanks to all of our loyal ghoulfriends! Don't forget to rate + review us on Apple Podcasts, it helps a ton!

Love ya meant it xoxoxoxo

This week Grace’s Case digs deep into the case of little old lethal landlady Dorothea Puente, and the heinous crimes committed at 1426 F Street. Marisa’s Mystery takes a walk on the lighter side of things, exploring whether the long-running TV show, The Simpsons, can actually see further than the town of Springfield…perhaps into the future!?! We hope you love it, and we have something very special planned for episode 20 :)

THANK YOU FOR 1,000 PLAYS GHOULFRIENDS!!! We are so thankful for each and every one of you. In Episode 18, Grace’s Case covers the highly suspicious death of Tamla Horsford, uncovering the many systemic problems and injustices at play. Marisa's Mystery is all about the recently discovered alleged TikTok Cult associated with the Shekinah Church and 7M Film management company. She discusses the pasts of those involved and how Miranda Wilkings/Derrick and her husband BDash rose to the spotlight (for more than just their talented dance moves). The information gathered about this cult was collected a week ago from who we thought was a reputable source through interviews conducted by the source and @wilkingsisters. No major news outlets have covered this story yet. We highly recommend you to conduct your own research and take everything you find with a grain of salt until reputable news sources cite more information on this mysterious group. We hope you Ghoulfriends enjoy....and remember you can find us on Instagram @WhereMurderMeetsMystery! Feel free to email us at [email protected]
