Let's Get Dark: A Paranormal & Crime Podcast

Thank you for patiently waiting, my babes. This is the last solo episode for awhile!
Pardon my cold on this. <3
 
The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God used fear of apocalyptic proportions to persuade its followers to give up all their earthly possessions and devote themselves to the cult. The abusive tactics are similar to many others we've discussed on the show before, and sadly, thi...

I joined Bruh Issa Murder for a collab for this episode. I lowkey fangirled and highkey geeked out a bit, and in the end, had so much fun and heard some really interesting stories as we scaled down the true crime iceberg, covering murders that, as the gang over at BIM put it, were pretty freakin weird.

Go follow Bruh Issa Murder RIGHT NOW if you aren't already.

Kyron Horman was a second-grader at Skyline Elementary in rural Portland Oregon on June 4, 2010, as families gathered at the school for the annual science fair. He posed proudly in front of his tree frog exhibit as his stepmother took a photo, and then by all accounts, Kyron completely disappeared. 

The search that followed would end up being the largest in Portland history, and the investigation into the circumstances sur...

Thank you so much for patiently waiting for the conclusion to Betty Andreasson's close encounter of the fourth kind, everyone! Life has been really kicking us in the ass lately, but here it is!

Join us as we take a deep dive into the rest of Betty's abduction, and the investigator's findings into her and her family's encounters with the beings from a planet that shall not be named. Let's get dark....

The Andreasson family was going about their daily routine one evening in 1976 when a UFO landed in their backyard. There were flashing lights outside, the electricity went out in the house, and suddenly, there were visitors INSIDE the house, asking Betty Andreasson to come with them. Betty thought they may be sent from Jesus, but they sure looked like aliens. Eventually, they coerced her into joining them on their spacecraft, but t...

Two days after her pharmaceutical tycoon boyfriend's 6 year old son Max, suffered from a terrible fall under her care, 32 year old Rebecca Zahau was allegedly found hanging from a balcony at the Coronado, California mansion where they spent summers. It was a tragic situation that might seem logical, except for a few major details: she was found with her wrist and ankles bound behind her body, she was nude, and there was a cryp...

In Let's Get Dark's very first "Midnight Session" episode (those with a paranormal/esoteric subject matter) we discuss the very first Poltergeist in a housing project in the US: the haunting of 13 year old Ernie Rivers and his grandmother Mabelle Clark. Ernie had a tumultuous childhood, which culminated in an incredibly active and physical poltergeist that tormented him & his grandmother for months in 1961. ...

Yaser Said moved to America from Egypt in 1983 and shortly after, at the age of 30, married 15 year old Patricia Owens. By the time she was 18, the couple had three children under the age of five, and severely struggled to make ends meet. Yaser was a controlling and abusive husband and father, particularly focusing his attention on his beautiful daughters, who he saw as a way to secure financial success once they were old enough to...

On the night of March 11, 2011 a gruesome attack, resulting in the bloody murder of Lululemon store manager, Jayna Murray took place in one of the unlikeliest of places: affluent Bethesda, Maryland. 
Initially investigators were told that there was a robbery and attack of Jayna and the other surviving victim, Brittany Norwood. 
But things aren't always as they seem. 
Join us as we flesh out the harrowing details of...

In the first episode of our series on spirit/interdimensional communication, we discuss the practice which goes back to the beginning of recorded history, much like all the paranormal topics we cover. Cultures throughout time have conducted their own rituals and practices in order to commune with higher powers or those who have died, from Oracles and Seers in Ancient Greece, to modern day Christians receiving prophesy. So, lose the...

We were so excited to talk with Connor Randall from the documentary series Hellier, co-inventor of the Estes Method of communication with the other side, YouTube series Spirits of the Stanley, and the list goes on. We discuss his experiences with the paranormal that helped shaped who he is today, how he developed the Estes Method (which we've spoken about and are mega-amateurs at, btw), and of course, Hellier and how their inv...

Tales of winged creatures and mysterious visitors in black go back to the beginning of recorded history, in just about every culture. In Point Pleasant, West Virginia during 1966 & 1967, these ominous visitors would serve as omens for a terrible tragedy that struck the town one December evening when the Silver Bridge collapsed into the river below.

As usual, we discover that all of the paranormal phenomena we look int...

When Rulon Jeffs prophet powers were (naturally) transferred to his son at the time of his death, the already maniacal man became an even bigger nightmare for the followers of FLDS than they had previously known. Using his "powers" he was able to convince them all to go along with ANYTHING, from forced child marriages to the possibility they would have to slice the throats of their wives if commanded. It's awful, but...

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was created as a more rigid interpretation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more specifically to continue practicing polygamy after the LDS church stopped.  Because there was never any structure within the FLDS, there have been battles for power since its inception, and the cult has always been rife with abuse and corruption. When Rulon Jeffs became t...

On the morning of April 18, 2016, Missy Bevers showed up to run her Camp Gladiator class at the Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas just after 4 in the morning. What Missy didn't know, unfortunately, was that an unidentified person dressed in knockoff police tactical gear had broken into the church and was lying in wait for her. When her clients arrived less than thirty minutes later, they discovered Missy had been...

Indigenous women make up only 4% of Canada's population but are four times more likely to be murdered or go missing. This means that even by the most conservative estimates, half of all women murdered are indigenous. It is a tragedy striking Canada and the United States at an alarming rate.

In 2014, a 15-year-old Indigenous girl named Tina Fontaine was found murdered and dumped in the Red River in Winnipeg, Canada. H...

We didn't know what we were getting into when we started looking into the seemingly inordinate amount of deaths of prominent Ferguson protestors and Civil Rights leaders, but it took us down a path that frankly made us uncomfortable, and challenged the beliefs we had about the tragic situation that sparked a new revolution. What happened that day in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, and what has been the aftermath? You know we'...
