Wicked, Weird, and Grim

Today, Valentine’s Day, we are bringing you a Wicked, Weird, and Grim treat: we’re going to talk about a man who literally loved his family to death.

The Burari ritualistic mass suicide/murders/manslaughter(?) is quite well-known in the true crime world, and our special guest Shreetoma is back to guide us through it. Strap in, its a wild one!

Get Wicked, Weird, and Grim with us as we explore the Christmas tragedy of the Sodder family home fire and the disappearance of five of their ten children. We cover all the theories, down to the nitty gritty, of this sordid tale. We, like most, end up with more questions than answers. What do you think happened that Christmas night in 1945?

Get Wicked, Weird, and Grim with us as we dive into a topic you all have requested for MONTHS. Today we cover the mothy monstrous figure of Point Pleasant, West Virginia: the infamous 'Mothman'. This creepy cryptid is ungodly large and ungodly ripped (at least, according to his statue in Point Pleasant). He even has his own annual festival in the town he haunts. Join us for mothly hijinks, conspiracy theories, and discussion of starting our own book club surrounding carnal cryptid romance novels.

Get Wicked, Weird, and Grim with us as we explore the festive and fearful event of Krampusnacht. From smut books to 5Ks, Krampus has taken over modern media - but what are the origins to this goat-like figure? Come with us as we dive deep into this Alpine folk figure, his origins, and his legacy.

Get Wicked, Weird, and Grim with us as we uncover the terrifying tale of the Crone of Catskills in all her g(l)ory. From initial hikes to secondary hauntings, this entity is renown for her intense manifestations and unyielding effect.

Get Wicked, Weird, and Grim with us as we discuss the ultimate IT GIRLS: a nazi-killing teen girl gang. These girly pops were the ultimate icons who led an unknown number of individuals to freedom and safety.

Get Wicked, Weird, and Grim with us as our special guest Shreetoma joins us to discuss the convergences of power, feminism, and the supernatural in Bengal and India more broadly. Despicable Me minions, flesh-eating imps grabbing Hailey Bieber smoothies at Erewhon, and djinns that need to learn consent in regards to hair-stroking abound.

Get Wicked, Weird, and Grim with us as we discuss the mysterious and tragic disappearance of Ben McDaniel. From illegally cave diving to having the wrong kind of air in his scuba tanks, this disappearance is a wild one. Let us know what you think happened and if you would go cave diving below!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The Grim Sisters are back and better than ever with a new podcast format and our annual Halloween episode! What better day to resurrect from the dead?

In this episode we discuss the origins of the holiday of Halloween, corresponding and coinciding holidays and celebrations, and just why we bob for apples, roast chestnuts, and make human sacrifices.

In this episode, dive Wickedly deep with us into the bloody crimes of the Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed, hailed as one of the most prolific female serial killers of all time.

The Blood Countess of Cachtice has been described as everything from a sensual vampire rivaling Dracula himself to being proposed as another wrongly accused "witch" convicted of fabricated crimes due to her social positioning and power. Perhaps most well known for bathing in the blood of young girls to maintain her youth and beauty, we discuss the fact that there is no actual evidence pointing to her ever doing this. So just how much of Elizabeth's fame is fabricated, purposefully or otherwise? From her reputed social work for the women of her domain affected by the Ottoman invasion to the horrific torturous acts she supposedly carried out, we describe the varied tales of Elizabeth, her ambiguous nature, and her sociopolitical background that may have encouraged others to implicate her.

Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers: mostly Caroline's inability to pronounce Hungarian names and the word judicial.
