The Lancashire Witches 06/14/2022

The Lancashire Witches America learned so many of its terrible traits from England. One of them was the concept of: call a bunch of women witches and see what happens (nothing good). We had Salem.

Mary Vincent 06/05/2022

Mary Vincent This show has a lot of terrible things in it. That's kind of our thing. And the story of Mary Vincent and what the scum of the Earth, Lawrence Singleton, did to her is terrible.

The Yuba County Five 05/22/2022

The Yuba County Five This case is the most baffling set of events we have covered in quite a while. Five men go to a basketball game and never come home. Seems like it is straightforward but oh my goodness it is anything but that. This is part one of two but honestly it could probably be one of fifty because there are so many things that could have happened but nobody knows what actually did happen. Well, one guy might. You'll see! Join us for the Yuba County Five! /episode/index/show/strangeful/id/23190425

Nothing was good for Sally and it all went on for far too long. /episode/index/show/strangeful/id/22810406

Christopher Porco 02/24/2022

The Flatwoods Monster 10/05/2021

The Flatwoods Monster Some people think aliens that try to probe you are scary. But to me, the Flatwoods monster is the kind of thing that would terrify me.
