On this episode we’re diving into two chilling tales—one of calculated terror, the other of lingering spirits.

Kai starts us off with the harrowing true crime story of the D.C. Sniper Attacks, a killing spree that paralyzed Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia in the fall of 2002. Over the course of a month, two men transformed everyday activities—like pumping gas or walking through a parking lot—into moments of sheer terror. With victims chosen at random and fear gripping an entire region, the sniper attacks became one of the most unnerving crime sprees in modern history. How did authorities track them down, and what twisted motives fueled their rampage?

Then, just when you think it’s safe to let your guard down, J takes us inside the haunted halls of the Oxford Saloon in Snohomish, Washington. Once a rough-and-tumble bar and brothel, this historic saloon holds a dark past—and it seems that some of its patrons never left. From the ghost of a murdered policeman lingering on the staircase to the spectral woman in the purple dress seen in the shadows, the Oxford Saloon is a hotspot of eerie encounters. And if the upstairs isn’t unsettling enough, wait until you hear about the unexplainable darkness lurking in the basement.

Killers in the shadows and spirits that refuse to move on—this episode has it all. So lock your doors, dim the lights, and prepare for a journey into the unknown.
