Happy Friday, coven! This week brought all sorts of weird and wonderful news and of course we are here for it. We'll hear about the latest innovations in robot technology, and- spoiler alert- it's not great. We'll get some updates on Charlotte the stingray and Sherri Papini, and hear about a scandalous true crime story out of Boston. And then we'll ask the important questions- who is your dream dinner guest? And is God real? We'll tackle all this and more on this week's episode!

In 2016, Keith and Sherri Papini appeared, by all accounts, to be a picture perfect family. They lived in a quiet suburb in northern California with their 2 beautiful children, and Sherri lovingly referred to their life as her 'happily ever after'. But when Sherri vanished without a trace on November 2, 2016, their lives would be turned upside down andf those around them would come to realize that all was not as it seemed. This week we're covering the stranger than fiction tale of Sherri's disappearance, and for fear of giving away too much, all we can say is you don't want to miss this truly twisted tale!
Happy Haunting!

The world is just as depraved as it was last news update, folks. Maybe even more so. And it seems a lot of the depravity resides in Florida! A man killed an entire family and then burned the evidence, but not before FaceTiming a friend with everything visible on camera. A woman murdered her boyfriend by zipping him up in a suitcase as she filmed his struggle, and later claimed she just fell asleep. There may be many criminals in the Sunshine State, but they’re certainly not the brightest. Halee brings some updates regarding the pedo dad who drugged his daughter’s friends, and reminds us that just when we thought Mothman couldn’t get any sexier, he does. Tune in to get our latest hot takes and dumb jokes. Happy Haunting!

The world of the ooky spooky doesn’t belong to cryptids, ghosts and aliens alone. Turns out, we humans are pretty spooky, too, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. The heart is synonymous with love and the soul. But what would happen If you received the heart of someone else? Would you still be you? Is it possible that you’d take on traits and attributes from your donor? Sounds crazy, right? Turns out, your cells might hold on to memories, and should you ever need an organ, those memories may become yours. This week, we’re digging into science and learning the ins and outs of heart transplants. We’ll hear insane stories from the families of heart donors and recipients and learn that there’s clearly so much more to learn about our incredible bodies and the cells that we’re made of. Happy Haunting!

It's a most joyous occasion, coven! Your two favorite witches are reunited and recording together at last... and we are joined very briefly by 2 guests who will only make you appreciate our charm and wit even more! This week we have a great roundup of all the strangeness happening in the world. From UFOs and whatever the underwater version of a UFO is, to a plethora of true crime updates, to one of our favorite past times (making fun of Hilary Baldwin saying cucumber,) we have lots to talk about. And the tenacity and bravery to continue having the important conversations, even when we're targeted by advanced government tech that cut our power part-way through the episode, is nothing short of exemplary. It's full of excitement, drama, and spookiness, and you don't want to miss it!
Happy Haunting!

The days are getting longer, the weather is getting nicer, and the summer season is fast approaching. But as you prepare to travel and spend time adventuring in your local forests- heed these cautionary tales of the creatures that lurk in the dark. This week, we're covering not one, but TWO classic American cryptids. First, we'll learn about the Flatwoods Monster, spotted in West Virginia in 1950. When a mom and a group of teens followed a bright light streaking across the sky, they could not have anticipated what they would find. Next, we'll travel up to Dover, Massachusetts where a creepy creature was spotted repeatedly in 1977. Of course Joe Nickell has simple explanations, but we don't buy them for a second. Tune in to this week's episode and decide for yourself!

This week, everyone's "good thing" is going to be that Halee went to UFO Fest and has returned to delight us with her findings. Shocker - aliens are real. Duh! We'll hear compelling firsthand accounts from military whistleblower Ryan Graves, and best of all, we'll get Jessiah's take on all things spooky. In the news, we'll hear about witches and warlocks duking it out (aka, old people being taken advantage of.) We'll learn that cheese mongers don't just specialize in cheese, but also defend themselves with it, and we'll get some pressing updates about past stories. There's all that and more in our weekly news update. Happy Haunting!

In 1959, the town of Holcomb, Kansas was a quiet farming community. People left their doors unlocked because nothing really bad ever happened there. But all that changed on November 15 when the Clutter family was found brutally murdered inside their two-story farmhouse. The motive wasn’t clear. Was it a revenge killing? A robbery gone wrong? Maybe a serial killer? Detectives sifted through hundreds of tips before receiving a call from a prison inmate who claimed he knew who killed the Clutters. Truman Capote read an article about the murders in the New York Times and decided he needed to tell the story in his own words. Over the next five years, he’d immerse himself in the community of Holcomb and try to understand the mind of a killer. In doing so, he formed unexpected friendships and created what he called the first non-fiction novel. “In Cold Blood” was published to wide acclaim, but it didn’t come without its own set of drawbacks. Capote would never be the same, and neither would Holcomb. Tune in to learn how this gruesome tragedy helped shaped the true crime genre as we know it. Happy haunting!
