The Business Plot

Jan 31 2025 65 mins

You know how the rich people are in charge of everything and us poors can't do anything about it and it gets worse every year? Well, like most things, it ain't new. Come back in time to the Great Depression, when FDR first rolled onto the national scene (ha! rolled) and learn how the rich jerks who run the world didn't take too kindly to this guy who wanted to help people. This is

Peter Freuchen

Jan 27 2025 43 mins

Years ago, Jennifer Sandwich wrote a script about adventurer and all around bad ass Peter Freuchen, but I have been holding onto it. I couldn't just use it at any old time. How was I going to get across how tough this guy was when the weather was temperate? I wasn't. So I waited. I waited until my Southern lands were frozen solid and the joy of watching people not accustomed in an

Calcasieu Courthouse

Jan 20 2025 54 mins

You know how sometimes places get a reputation for being haunted? Well, the Calcasieu Courthouse in Lake Charles, Louisiana is one of those places. But in this case, the haunting itself isn't the good part of the story. I think some places are thought of as haunted because of the terrible things that have happened there or there is some soul with unfinished business blah blah. But

West Mesa Bone Collector

Dec 17 2024 46 mins

This week we go to the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, to investigate the mystery of the West Mesa Bone Collector, the name given to the serial killer preying on the women of Albuquerque. That type of crime is not super rare, but a cop calling out the disappearance of these women YEARS before it was discovered that they died? And still working the case almost 20 years later? That'

Cordelia Botkin

Nov 26 2024 60 mins

Relatioships are a weird thing. Sometimes you can marry someone and not really care about them at all. Sometimes you can want someone so much you will go to ridiculous lengths to murder their current spouse using the good old US MAIL! Grace tells us the story of Cordelia Botkin who hatched a pretty great plan except since there was no TV in 1898 so she had not learned about how cov

Goiânia Incident

Nov 05 2024 48 mins

In this episode we talk about a little known incident that occurred in Brazil back in the 80s. It is a rough tale when you realize it should never really have happened. Not if things had gone the way we expect them to. We all go to sleep at night with the knowledge that certain things will just happen because we as a society have seen to it that they will happen. We don't worry tha

Benny Evangelista

Sep 28 2024 66 mins

Dive into the chilling case of Benny Evangelista, a spiritual healer in 1920s Detroit, whose gruesome murder left the city shook. Known for his bizarre beliefs and practices (because people don't understand religion), Evangelista was found in his home in a grisly scene. What sinister forces could have been at play? Was it a ritualistic thing, a disgruntled follower, or something ev

Wampus Cat

Aug 27 2024 38 mins

This week, Grace is chasing down the Wampus Cat, the Appalachian cryptid that’s half-woman, half-cat, and half-too many legs. From its spooky origins in Native American folklore to the backwoods sightings that’ll make you reconsider your next camping trip, we’re digging into the stories that keep this legend alive. Is it just a tall tale, or is there really a sassy feline ter

The Loveland Frogman

Jul 31 2024 39 mins

What sort of cryptid hangs out on the side of the road, not bothering anyone? Well, if the people of Loveland, Ohio are right, their own personal Frogmen do. Who are these mysterious amphibians? We have no idea. But, we do have the stories. Handed down from generation to generation until we end up in the present day where the community of Loveland has embraced their mysterious Frog

Ronald Dominique

Jul 09 2024 50 mins

This week, Acadia and Graveyard Grace dive into the chilling case of Ronald Dominique, aka the Bayou Strangler - a serial killer you've probably never heard of, but definitely should have. With a body count rivaling some of America's most infamous murderers, Dominique somehow flew under the radar for years. This 'average Joe' became one of Louisiana's most prolific killers. We'll e
