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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
