In the quiet hills of Central City, Colorado, lies one of the states most haunted cemeteries-and a dark legacy forged in the nearby Gold Rush mines. In this chilling episode Daphne and Gayle talk about mining disasters, tragic love tales and ghost stories. From fatal mining accidents to the Lady of the Columbines, every grave tells a story of greed, grief, and lingering spirits. If you want to ...

We need a break from murder and death. Although even in legends and mythology you still get murder and death but, it's a little less gut wrenching. Daphne did this great episode on Sirens. It's full of history, mystery, legends and myths, from all over the world.If you want more on Sirens, Daphne will bring us all the scary stories. Being the start of spooky season that's what we need. SCARY, S...

Wrapping up this sad case. We hate an unsolved. There should always be justice for the victims and their families. In the second part we look into the man who claimed to be responsible for 11 of the 30+ victims found in the area known as the Texas Killing Fields. This guy at very least is total POS but probably is responsible for some of the killings. https://txtruecrimeblog.com/blog-archive/e...

This one sucks a lot. It is super sad and there's no resolution. WE LOVE THAT (not really)!!! The Texas Killing Fields is a big case with a lot of victims. In this episode we will focus on what was known as "The Eleven" it's a chunk of a what is definitely a much bigger s%#t show. This chunk is plenty to digest. Inspite of the awful and tragic story we hope you enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/...

So this one is super creepy. Our apologies, we had one of our dogs with us while we were recording and she's very loud lots of snorting and snoring happening. Then Daphne creeped me the f*&^k out and I lit some sage and the sage popped off like I've never seen sage pop off and we had to evacuate the recording space or risk dying of smoke inhalation. So this one ends abruptly. None the less GREA...

This is the one that over 100 years later is still up for debate. Roscoe Arbuckle and couple of his friends threw a party that would untimately lead to the death of Virginia Rappe and change Arbuckle's life forever. Alcohol, sex and fame make for great headlines. No exception here, during prohibition people still did as they always had, the taboo lifestyles of the rich and famous facinate the m...

In this episode, Gayle discusses the chilling 1964 murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in Mississippi. What began as a search for justice turned into a symbol of hatred, cover-ups, and the long-term resilience of the civil rights movement. We unravel the timeline, the conspiracy, and the legacy left behind of these brave men against a cruel world....

Daphne fills us in on the sad conclusion of the life of Lloyd Avery II. From a life of privilege and opportunity to a downward spiral that ended in tragedy. We hope you enjoy... as much as you can while we discuss sadness and murder. https://www.10minutemurder.com/blog/the-real-story-behind-boyz-n-the-hoods-most-memorable-villain/ ID Death by Fame: S1 E6 “Life Imitates Art” https://www.thetru...

Lloyd Avery II was a good kid from a good neighborhood with a good family. One day he got cast in a very famous movie by his friend and this role totally changed his life, so much so he became the real life Knucklehead #2. Consumed by the streets of South Central LA and the allure of gang life, this is just the beginning of Jailbird's story, catch Part 2 for the rest!

Here we go again with two more wild stories from two states. First, we head to Arizona for the story of Slaughter House Canyon, the creepy legend that started back in the 1800's and has continued to live on. Then, to Alabama to hear the history of Maple Hill Cemetery and "The Dead Chilldren's Playground." This part of the episode is all based in fact which I think makes it all the more interest...

This apartment complex is as oppulent as it is eerie. It is situated in Manhattan's Upper West Side, with a view of Central Park, and has had famous residents such as John Lennon, Judy Garland, and Rosemary Clooney. If you're lucky enough to get a tour of the building, we hope you don't see the "creepy ghost"... but if you do, please do report back! And don't be one of those a**holes that creep...

So this one is really interesting. Daphne gives us an update on the infamous Alcatraz Escape from June of 1962. Pretty cool that there is new information about this escape by Frank Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin. Who would have thought that after all these years there could be any more to report... but there is! It's funny how when you look for one thing it can lead you into somet...

I didn't know too many details about this one. Of course I'd heard about it like everyone else. When you dig into the facts it's about as crazy as you'd think... maybe even a little bit more. Some of the information is downright disturbing. Hope you enjoy. https://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/psyc%20405/serial%20killers/gein,%20ed.pdf https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ed-Gein https://allthatsinte...

In this one we travel back back in time and try to unravel the the mystery of the creepy slumber party "game" Bloody Mary. After a lot of research and deligent searching I was really not sold on the answer or at least what I found as to the actual inspiration for the "game". What I did find though was very interesting and of course disturbing. https://discover.hubpages.com/education/The-story-...

Daphne takes us back to the quest for innocence for Johnny Frank Garrett who was put to death for the murder of Sister Tadea Benz. Another really bad case of the justice system just deciding what they think, selecting the evidence they present and calling it a day... super messed up! Daphne thank you for ALL your research into this and hopefully one day justice will truly be served, but we all ...

Why are they always so depressing... Daphne does not break the trend or disappoint with this case. The justice or injustice in the murder of Sister Tadea Benz, does not serve her or the man accused. https://murderpedia.org/male.G/g1/garret-johnny-frank.htm https://www.spreaker.com/episode/thou-shalt-not-kill-the-unholy-murder-of-sister-tadea-benz--51664340 https://www.newschannel10.com/story...

This is the true story of a horrific attack, our friend Patti was finally able to come on and tell her family's story. We are so grateful she was finally able to make time to come on and tell us her story. The audio kinda sucks... there were 4 of us on 2 mics and it was really hard to get it all together. Definitely worth the listen though and Patti sounds fine and it's her story so we're good ...

So this one sucks as most of them do. Halloween should be fun not tragic and this case is really tragic. Grab your tissues, no treats in this episode just tricks that really suck. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/ca-supreme-court/1462325.html https://www.oxygen.com/homicide-for-the-holidays/crime-news/doreen-ebert-murder-daughter-william-michael-dennis-san-jose https://www.crimescenecleanup.c...

This is the story of the how encryption failed criminals. It's not like anyone got killed at least in this case. But let's just say we wouldn't want to be put in these torture chambers. https://nltimes.nl/2020/07/07/underworld-torture-chamber-prison-found-noord-brabant-6-arrests https://www.thetruecrimedatabase.com/case_file/brabant-torture-case/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/07/europe/dutch-pol...

In this episode we talk about the miracle story of finding our lost Little Man Groot. He was lost by our dog hiker guy and found by No Animal Left Behind Search and Rescue and us. It was an emotional 5 days of searching with a very happy ending.

No other words than this one is a doozy. Mrs. Margaret Douglas was just living life. Tragically she became the victim of a horrific crime. A practice killing if you will. A victim seen as easy prey to a teenager with a warped mind and with an active desire to kill. https://teenkillers.org/juvenile-lifers/offenders-cases-state/ohio-offenders/gavon-ramsay/ https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news...

Talk about drama! Wow this poor woman never gets a break from the abuse. The constant abuse leads to a very dramatic existence. If there was ever a criminal to feel bad for she might be the one. https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/ruth-ellis https://www.pennchurch.uk/david-blakely/ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6532292/david-blakely https://londonhistorians.wordpress.com...

Michael McMorrow was the victim of a brutal slaying at the hands of the Baby Faced Killers. Money and privilege seem to mastermind and manipulate and the result is a person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and let their own demons interfere with their best judgment. https://www.newsweek.com/drinking-and-death-after-dark-173592 https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/what-homicide-new-york-le...

This case made me so mad, I know cases go unprosecuted all the time. From the very beginning everyone knew who was guilty but no real justice was done. It took years and persistence. Finally a Texas Ranger and a man with a "crisis of conscience" would miraculously be connected and bring this case to head. Irene's loved ones never gave up on seeking justice for her and making sure that a douche...

Join us for the second half of the case of Marion Parker. The intricate details of the story of her kidnapping. Then revealing the heart-wrenching truths behind her untimely death. Daphne did a great job with this case, she definitely did it justice. TRIGGER WARNING for descriptions of violence and child murder. Thanks again Lynsey for the case request. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8978...

Marion Parker was a 12 year old girl who was enjoying a celebratory Christmas party at school when she was abruptly taken from class under very false pretenses. **TRIGGER WARNING**!! This one is so sad and hard to listen to. Thanks for the case request, Lynsey! https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8978/marion-parker https://www.newspapers.com/article/richmond-times-dispatch/51244851/ https://w...

Daphne did a great job telling this story. So sad, when someone you trust is the one in the very end who can't be trusted at all. Amie was smart, accomplished, respected and loved by many. She helped a ton of people and unfortunately her life was snatched from her in a very tragic and scary way. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1943215/bio/ https://www.the-sun.com/news/7224841/who-amie-harwick-date...

The Sallie House is located in Kansas and is known to be one of the most haunted houses in America. Like for real haunted! Not haunted house haunted!

This is a listener request from @lynds321. Ericka and Ben Sifrit, the killer couple who's relationship was like throwing gas on a fire. These two found thrills in devious ways and the outcome had terrible consequences for an innocent couple who got sucked into a party that ended with a deadly game. The Sifrits had no remorse for the awful crime they committed. Yet more people to feel distain fo...

Daphne did such a great job talking about the life of John Gotti. He was a poverty stricken kid who went on to become the highest ranking member of the Gambino Crime Family. Living his life in the spotlight like a celebrity of sorts and then the inevitable fall from grace. These stories about mobsters seem so unreal like a screenplay or book you can't put down, in fact this is real life for som...

Phillip Markoff dubbed the Craigslist Killer by the press, was a good looking guy, with ambition and moving his life in the "right" direction. Never in trouble, always following the rules and striving for the next level. Big dreams and set goals that were well on there way to being met. Then enter the dark side of maybe unexplored or hidden sexual desires and huge debt that pivot life in the di...

Kitty Genovese's murder was shocking and senseless as all murders are. The interesting thing about this case is what has come to be known as "The Bystander Effect". Newspapers exaggerated the details as they do, and subsequent reporting led to a full study in the human response. The bystander effect was a term coined after this tragic murder. The sad reality of people not wanting to get involve...

Daphne explains the origin of Papa Legba in relation to Haitian Vodou, Dominican Vodou, Winti and Louisiana Voodoo. Papa Legba is believed to be the gatekeeper who serves as the intermediary between God and humanity. These roots are derived from religious beliefs that span different cultures. He speaks all languages and has no evil intentions. We hope you enjoy this one which is a little off th...

LSD 25, yuuhhh! We're not as tripped out as we'd hoped to be when learning about Project Artichoke and its subproject, MK Ultra. This episode is all about the unintended discovery of a mind melting drug, acid, and how the CIA tried to use it to spread "American values" to other nations and even its own citizens. Buckle up, we're about to go for a far out journey! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

We're finally there, thank goodness. The crime was horrible, unthinkable and tragic. Unfortunately not anything new. This at least has a made a positive impact on the future for Australia and it's citizens. We hope you enjoy the outcome. https://www.smh.com.au/national/a-dangerous-mind-what-turned-martin-bryant-into-a-mass-murderer-20090427-ajk4.html https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history...

This is the second part of a 3 parter, this one is rough and that's an understatement. Get your tissue and be aware that this is going to be brutal. This was the largest mass murder in Australia's history. It is a level above anything we've covered thus far. I actually teared up at some points during Daphne's description of these events, which is not that normal for me. I'm a Capricorn and not ...

This one is a weird one! That's all we've got, very weird. Doesn't everyone drive with a pony in their car? But anyway, some weird events happen in Martin Bryants life that we explore in this episode. By the end of the story, you might just feel kind of sad or bad for him, and part 2 coming soon!! https://www.smh.com.au/national/a-dangerous-mind-what-turned-martin-bryant-into-a-mass-murderer-2...

We're back!!! This is a love story gone wrong, over and over and over again. With a little bit of familicide sprinkled in. Nannie Doss was a hopeless romantic forever in search of the perfect partner. Unfortunately for the men she found it didn't work out as she'd hoped. Maybe take a little time to get to the know the person you're going to settle down with forever...or don't whatever. In Nanni...

Daphne had the pleasure of finding this case about Ernest Ingenito, an unhinged Grade A douche bag. Like most spree killers, he basically just had a temper tantrum that resulted in the death of 5 people, all members of the same family. Four other family members were also injured but thankfully survived. Thank you New Jersey, the state who outdid themselves with a law they would regret. https:...

This week Gayle does an unsolved! This is the case of Joseph Force Crater a New York City Judge who went missing without a trace. Political corruption, extortion, jealous lovers, running in shady circles are all possible reasons why this guy went missing. At the end of the day, 93 years later it's still a mystery with many possible scenarios. It will definitely leave you wondering. https://ww...

Abigail Western was a young woman who wanted to follow in her fathers footsteps to become a scientist at Area 51, but her life took a tragic twist when she became the subject of interest. This twisted tale is bound to make you think twice about the things that go bump in the night. https://creepyspooketty.fandom.com/wiki/The_Abigail_Project https://www.reddit.com/r/NightGod/comments/n32sz0/ar...

We're back!!! This was one of the short episodes we were going to do for Halloweek which because of the loss of our Tolle we did not do. Daphne put a lot of effort as always into this episode about the famed Area 51 so we wanted to share it. There is no disturbing fact and it's short and sweet but really good and explains a lot. We hope you enjoy. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/ar...

Waverly Hills Sanatorium was established to be a quarantine hospital for Tuberculosis patients. It opened in the early 1900s as such, but the building still stands today. We dove into the history of the property before its transition to a hospital and the aftermath of the property once the hospital was no longer in use. This spot is known to be one of the most haunted places in America, and we ...

In this episode Gayle takes us to the Bermuda Triangle aka The Devils Triangle. This was a fun one we were able to bounce ideas off each other and go back in history and with the twist of a mystery. Aliens, Atlanteans, weather, mechanical malfunctions due to true north and magnetic north converging or poor navigation, it's all up for debate. Please let us know what you think. Chime in on our In...
