Long time no talk! Wicked, Weird, and Grim is back and better than ever after a brief hiatus. This week, we get down to the nitty gritty and discuss the infamous I-70 Strangler, known also as Brian Smart and/or Herb Baumeister. This tale isn’t just for our True Crime fanatics though - there’s definitely also a haunting aspect to this tale. Tune in to see how this tale goes from serial killing spree to the latest paranormal activity movie. Also featuring erotic asphyxiation, really creepy mannequins, and some really questionable fertility statistics.

Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers.

It’s our 13th episode!! And our Halloween episode!! We’re super excited for this interactive experience as we visit one of North Carolina’s most mysterious and haunted places, and bring you all along with us. This episode also features us NC girls being unable to pronounce North Carolina area names while recording (Sorry Chatham, Uwharries, and Appalachia) and having a bit too intense a fascination with the Devil carrying us around (Daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry-). Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers, and us referencing bodily waste and bones a bit too much.

This week, we dive into the Wicked, Weird, and Grim and discuss a pretty hairy topic: The Beast of Bray Road and its neighboring counterpart, the Dogman. Join us as we explore this odd cryptid dating back to the very beginning of humanity, fangirl over monster-expert Linda Godfrey, and discuss the sexualization of the werewolf (and why his human form has no hair at all on his rippling abs. Like, did you get laser hair removal, sir?) Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers, including getting a kick out of that one vine (“On every level except physical, I am a wolf”) a bit too much, and an intense Twilight conspiracy theory segment.

This week, we dive into disturbing disappearance of the nature-loving extreme hiker and amateur Youtuber Kenny Veach in the Nevada Mojave Desert. Join us as we try to uncover the truth behind his disappearance, be it aliens, the air force, murder, or a simple case of a hiking accident. This story is sure to leave you scratching your head in confusion, no matter how straightforward it may seem. Hijinks ensue, including Ara mentioning how she will self-mutilate like a hamster if trapped, plenty discussion of caves, caverns, and all sorts of dark, disturbing places, and a healthy dose of yee-hawing to commemorate Kenny Veach's cowboy alter ego. Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers.

All proceeds from this episode will be donated to and split between the National Suicide Prevention Hotline and the Mojave National Preserve Conservancy in honour of Kenny Veach.

**TW: Trigger warning for repeated mentions of suicidal thoughts in this episode**

To celebrate the recent autumnal equinox and harvest moon, our episode this week is dedicated to harvest festivals around the world. We discuss the origins of harvest season, as well as the mythology, folklore, and legends from around the world that explain the turn of the seasons. Additionally, we talk about all the great feasts and festivals during this time, in particular those featuring adult (i.e. alcoholic) beverages - we're looking at you, Greeks and Germans. In response to some of your voice messages on Anchor asking to hear more about the harvest daemons Ara mentioned in our Olga of Kiev episode, we discuss grain-y werewolves, spiteful field tricksters, iron-breasted ergot-infested hags, and daemons that take self-care a bit too seriously. Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers and a considerable bashing of Beowulf while simultaneously hyping up Grendel's MILF.

WE SOLVED IT!

Tune in to this episode to hear us solve the famed Rendlesham Forest incident, known to many UFO enthusiasts as the "British Roswell". We discuss the ins and outs of this crazy tale, as well as conspiracy theories - from aliens and Soviet Union attacks to radiation leaks and elaborately planned hoaxes. But to hear us crack the case wide open and uncover the truth behind this incident, you'll have to listen (and put up with our numerous cow noises throughout)! Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers.

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, our topic this week is the infamous watery wailer: La Llorona (not Moaning Myrtle). We discuss the political, racial, and social roots behind the Latinx tale and its many offshoots, because Ara - once again and to no one's surprise - had no self-control and used her publication on La Llorona archetypes as essentially the entire script. Listen as the Grim Sisters discover La Llorona's aversion to feet, hatred of wild dogs, and her odd love for ditches. We wrap up this tale with some firsthand accounts of meeting La Llorona that made both of us shiver and caused Ara to have to anxious-pee a lot. Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers (that are honestly starting to get longer than our actual content).
