Urban Legends: Break the Rules and You’re Next

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Some urban legends are just spooky stories, but others come with rules. In this episode, we dive into four chilling urban legends from around the world; each with one thing in common: you’re safer if you don’t engage. From the eerie Three Knocks, to Japan’s terrifying Kuchisake-Onna, to the voice-mimicking horror of the Wendigo, and the Turkish entity known as "Karabasan." These aren’t just tales...they’re warnings.

And just to make things a little more interesting, Lawrence (my resident ghost 👀) decided to chime in during the recording via GhostTube. And his timing is impeccable. Coincidence? You decide.

The 2004 Sasebo Schoolgirl Murder

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

On June 1, 2004, a 12-year-old girl didn’t return to class. What was later discovered inside an empty classroom shocked not only the school, but the entire community of Sasebo. But this case didn’t just make headlines, it took on a life of its own online. With identities hidden and details limited, the internet stepped in to fill the gaps; creating a story that blurs the line between reality and fiction.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:01:00 GMT

What happens when a dorm room becomes too dangerous to live in? At Ohio University, it gets sealed… forever. Room 428 was permanently closed after a series of unexplained deaths, but the story doesn’t end there.

So strap on your snorkeling gear, Ghouligans. We’re diving deep into the campus lore.

The Suitcase Murder (Part 2)

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:03:00 GMT

Alright True Crime Coven, it’s time. Today we dive into Part 2 of The Suitcase Murder. Investigators begin to close in as new evidence, strange explanations, and unanswered questions collide. We get into the trial, the testimony, and even body language analysis, as the prosecution builds a case they believe is strong enough for a conviction. But the defense? They argue the gaps are too big to ignore. And years later, the debate is far from over. Was justice served? Or did this case leave too much room for doubt? It’s time to unpack all the theories.

Peter Woodcock: Canada’s Youngest Serial Killer

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:05:00 GMT

In the 1950s, a series of brutal murders shook Toronto and left the city searching for answers. At first, investigators believed they had their killer — a 14-year-old boy was questioned and ultimately convicted for the crime. But the real killer was still at large… and he moved through the city quietly on a bicycle, searching for his next victim. In this episode of Suspects & Spirits, we examine the chilling case of Peter Woodcock, often called Canada’s youngest serial killer. Today we explore his troubled childhood, the tragic stories of his victims, the investigation that revealed a horrifying truth, and the aftermath of his crimes.

The Sauchie Poltergeist

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 13:42:00 GMT

In 1960, the quiet Scottish village of Sauchie became the center of one of the most shocking poltergeist cases ever recorded. After 11-year-old Virginia Campbell moved into a home on Park Crescent, her family began experiencing violent knocking, moving furniture, and objects that seemed to come alive. Ministers, doctors, neighbors, and teachers all witnessed the activity. But the disturbances didn’t stay in the house. When Virginia went to school, desks hovered, objects moved without being touched, and her terrified classmates fled for the door. This one is wild. Buckle up as we explore one of Scotland's most famous hauntings.

Chandler Halderson (World's Worst Liar)

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 07:01:00 GMT

Chandler Halderson had a bright future...or at least, that’s what he told everyone. But when quiet questions started being asked at home, he chose a solution far darker than the truth. Within days, his parents were missing, and the life he had so carefully constructed began to unravel. In today’s episode, we explore how Chandler's deception spiraled into an unthinkable crime... and how the cracks in his story (and Snapchat) ultimately exposed it all.

Hollywood’s Haunted Roosevelt Hotel

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 07:03:00 GMT

Today we explore the glamour, ghosts, and history behind the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. After opening its doors in 1927, the hotel became the epicenter of Old Hollywood, hosting the first Academy Awards and housing legends like Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. But beneath all the fame also lies tragedy…including the 1962 death of actress Clara Blandick, AKA Auntie Em. In this episode, we examine the hotel’s lingering ghost stories, documented deaths, and eerie energy that continues to draw guests nearly a century later.

The Death of Kendrick Johnson: Tragic Accident or Murder?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 07:00:05 GMT

In January 2013, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead inside a rolled up wrestling mat at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. His death was ruled an accident caused by positional asphyxia, but the case has since been reopened, re-examined, and debated nationwide. In this episode, we examine the security camera inconsistencies, the six-hour delay in notifying the coroner, conflicting autopsy findings, allegations involving fellow students and an FBI-connected family, and the anonymous email sent to the Sheriff’s Department. What really happened to Kendrick Johnson? What remains unproven? And how do procedural failures shape public trust?

Tune in as we examine all of the theories.

The Varginha Incident: Brazil’s Roswell

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:03:00 GMT

In January 1996, a quiet Brazilian city became the center of one of the most disturbing and controversial paranormal cases on record. What began as three sisters encountering a strange, non-human creature in a residential neighborhood quickly escalated into military convoys, sealed hospital wings, anonymous medical testimony, and the sudden death of a young military police officer. Often referred to as “Brazil’s Roswell,” the Varginha Incident is a story of eyewitnesses who never recanted, officials who offered explanations that didn’t match the response, and a community left with more questions than answers. Drawing heavily from the documentary Moment of Contact, this episode breaks down the timeline, the witnesses, the government’s claims, and why so many people believe the truth was buried.

This isn’t just a UFO story — it’s a case about secrecy, power, and what happens when official narratives don’t align with lived experience.

Government cover-ups. Strange creatures. Medical anomalies.

You decide what happened.

Disneyland may be the happiest place on Earth, but after dark, something else takes over.

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 07:00:00 GMT

What once appeared to be a clear-cut case begins to unravel as investigators take a second look at the evidence. In Part two, we explore a troubling timeline, overlooked physical details, and new testimony that raises serious questions about a story that was accepted far too quickly. As long-held assumptions are challenged, the investigation moves back inside the Winger home...where the truth proves far darker and far more complex than anyone first believed.

Episode 37: The Haunting of Elke Sommer

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 07:00:00 GMT

Beverly Hills isn’t exactly known for hauntings...but maybe it should be. In the 1960s, actress Elke Sommer and her husband Joe Hyams experienced years of escalating paranormal activity in their secluded canyon home: ghostly apparitions, moving furniture, independent witnesses, formal investigations, and an eerily accurate psychic warning that came true in the most terrifying way possible. This is one of Hollywood’s most overlooked (and unsettling) haunting cases.

Episode 36: The Death of Stephanie Wasilishin (“Unsolved”)

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 07:00:02 GMT

On July 9, 1993, Stephanie (Stacy) Wasilishin’s death was ruled a homicide. Yet, more than thirty years later, the case remains officially “unsolved.” On the night she was killed in her Sedona, Arizona home, her three-year-old daughter was awake and present, and told investigators repeatedly what she saw. Her older daughter, Nikki, slept down the hall, unaware that her life was about to change forever. The only person left to tell what happened was the suspect, Stephanie's boyfriend Russell.

In this episode, we walk through the timeline of that night, the forensic findings, and the witness accounts that followed. Come with me as we join Nikki’s fight for truth, justice, and accountability in the death of her mother.

If you would like to help in the fight for justice to bring Stephanie Wasilishin’s case to court, please call the Sedona Police Department at (928) 282-3100 and voice your concerns. Facebook

Episode 35: The Hexham Heads: Unearthing Ancient Curses

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 07:01:00 GMT

In 1971, two young boys digging in a garden in Hexham, England uncovered two small carved stone heads...and what followed became one of Britain’s strangest paranormal cases. Soon after the discovery, unexplained disturbances began inside the home and spread next door, culminating in terrifying encounters with a dark, animal-like figure. When the heads were removed for study, the activity didn’t stop—it followed, appearing hundreds of miles away and repeating the same disturbing patterns. With multiple witnesses, identical descriptions, and no clear explanation, the Hexham Heads case blurs the line between folklore, poltergeist activity, and something far more unsettling. Grab your favorite drink or tackle that laundry as we dive into one of the most bizarre stories we’ve covered.

Episode 23: Dancing With the Devil

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 07:00:04 GMT

On Halloween night, legends say the Devil himself walks among us. Sometimes disguised as a charming stranger on the dance floor. In honor of Spooky Season, this episode of Suspects & Spirits traces the Devil’s footsteps through scripture, theology, history, and lore. From a haunted barn dance to the creation of The Devil’s Bible, and even a cursed tree said to bear his name. These legends help us explore why Halloween is — and perhaps always will be — the Devil’s favorite night of the year.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Asha Degree, please contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office at (704) 484-4788. You can also submit tips online at tips.fbi.gov. Even the smallest detail could help bring Asha home.
