šŸŽ§ Fake or Freaky | Episode 1: The Smurl Family Haunting šŸ‘»šŸ»

In this debut episode of Fake or Freaky, we crack open some cold ones and dive headfirst into one of the most infamous hauntings in American paranormal history — The Smurl Family Haunting.

From foul smells and phantom voices to levitating dogs, demonic assaults, and even a visit from the legendary Ed and Lorraine Warren, this case is as terrifying as it is bizarre.

But was it real? Or were the Smurls dealing with something a little more earthly?
Pull up, pour a drink, and let’s figure out if this story is fake… or freaky.

    •    The setting: West Pittston, Pennsylvania in the 1970s
    •    The strange activity that plagued the Smurl home for 15 years
    •    Attacks, infestations, and some very uninvited entities
    •    The Warrens’ investigation and what they really found

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ā€˜ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
