Peel back the curtain on the unnerving trend of phrogging with us, as we navigate through the shadows lurking in the unlikeliest of places—our own homes. The chilling saga of the Denver Spider-Man, Theodore Coney, unfolds, revealing the dark underbelly of seemingly mundane spaces. These stories of home-dwelling intruders serve as stark reminders that not all guests leave; some choose to stay hidden in plain sight, feeding on the sanctuary we take for granted.

Welcome to Dark Crossroads Podcast, hosted by
Roxanne Fletcher.

.
From the infamous story of theNew Bedford Highway Killer to
the chilling tale of the BlackEyed Children, dark Crossroads
Podcast is a truly deep diveinto the stories that frighten
and fascinate you.
All links to the show will beprovided in this episode's
(01:33):
description, and don't forget tolet us know what you think of
today's episode.
Have you ever heard of frogging?
If you haven't, I'm gonna letyou in on a little secret here.
I'm covering this episode todaybecause this topic specifically
(01:55):
has been requested many, manytimes.
So I am doing today's story,but I will also be doing more in
the future.
Frogging is when somebody livesin your home without you knowing
, and even celebrities have beentargeted, including George
Michael and Pamela Anderson.
The word comes from the ideathat a frogger is similar to how
(02:15):
a frog jumps around from placeto place.
Victims often feel as thoughsomeone is watching them sleep,
or they may find things such astheir hairbrushes or tools being
misplaced around their home, aswell as food being left out and
crumbs littered across thekitchen.
Sometimes, these so-calledfroggers simply want a warm and
(02:36):
dry place to stay, but others doit for the thrill and frogging
forums and chat rooms haveexploded online for tips and
recommended locations.
If you did not think there wassuch a thing, there is an expert
on frogging and her name isKrista Ruther and she revealed
why people become froggers andwhy it is on the rise.
(02:56):
She stated the overarchingmotive is probably desperation
and wanting to be somewhere safe, but I can imagine it being a
thrill to some.
Last year, a thrillingdocumentary series titled
Frogging Hider in my Housefeatured survivors sharing their
most skin-crawling and creepystories.
Before the creation of thefictional crime-fighting
(03:17):
Spider-Man, there was a veryreal Denver Spider-Man.
But the Denver Spider-Man was afar cry from his superhero
counterpart.
In fact, he was a murderer.
Theodore Coney was born November10, 1882, in Pittsburgh,
illinois.
In 1888, theodore and hismother moved to a farm in
(03:40):
Wisconsin, and then they movedto Denver, colorado, in 1907,
where she worked as ahousekeeper at the Denver
Democratic Club.
She then died in 1911.
Theodore suffered from poorhealth and had been told by
doctors not to expect to see his18th birthday, so he did not
finish high school.
As an adult he worked as abookkeeper at the Denver Brass
(04:02):
Works, in advertising and sales,yet spent much of his adult
life homeless.
He resented the way he wastreated by others for his frail
condition, later expressing thathe wanted a place where he
could be alone and free fromjudgment of others.
Because of his health, and alsoperhaps because at the time it
was the Great Depression,theodore struggled to keep a job
(04:24):
long-term and frequently foundhimself without a place to live
except for doorways and alleysaround Denver.
In 1941, theodore fell on hardtimes and to be able to get
through he decided to go ask afriend for some help.
In September of 1941, he wentto the home of an old friend,
73-year-old Philip Peters.
(04:46):
Theodore and Philip had beengood friends many years earlier,
and Theodore often went toPhilip's home in Denver,
colorado, to play in a musicclub.
When he arrived, the house wasempty.
Philip had gone to visit hiswife in the hospital, who had
suffered a broken hip, much likehe had done every single day
since the accident.
Philip was a retiree of theDenver and Rio Grande Western
(05:08):
Railroad and had lived in hishome on West Moncrief Place for
over three decades.
He was married to Helen, andtheir three children were now
adults, one of whom lived inGrand Junction.
Not only was Philip a formerrailroad employee, he was a
husband and father, but was alsoa musician and member of the
Denver Guitar Club, where he andhis wife sometimes gave guitar
(05:30):
and mandolin lessons.
In fact, it was through theDenver Guitar Club that Philip
first met the man who would behis murderer.
For the five weeks leading up tohis murder, he had been staying
in his house alone because hiswife was recovering at St
Anthony's Hospital.
His neighbors opened theirhomes to him in the evenings so
that he wouldn't have to bealone at dinner time and so he
(05:52):
can enjoy a hot, home-cookedmeal and leftovers to take for
his lunch the next day.
Nevertheless, theodore decidedto let himself into the house
and while rummaging through somethings, he found a tiny door
that led to an attic room.
Theodore was a rather small manand he managed to fit inside
and decided to make this hishome.
(06:13):
He later stated I thought thisattic would be my shelter during
the oncoming winter.
Theodore lived in the houseundiscovered, for about five
weeks.
On October 17th of 1941, philipdiscovered a tall, gaunt and
disheveled man raiding hisfreezer.
Philip struck at him with acane that he carried, but
(06:34):
Theodore clubbed him with an oldpistol he had found in the
house.
After the gun broke apart,theodore continued with a heavy
iron stove shaker and ended upbludgeoning the 73-year-old man
to death.
Theodore then returned to theattic cubby hole as if nothing
had happened.
Philip's body was discoveredlater, the same day after a
neighbor that was concerned thathe had not come by for dinner
(06:55):
ended up calling the police.
They searched the home butcouldn't find any evidence of
the murder.
It was as if he had justvanished into thin air.
The killer took time to washhis hands and to wipe off the
murder instrument so he couldhave taken time for the robbery,
stated Detective Captain.
At the time, the elderly man hadno enemies, making revenge an
(07:16):
unlikely motive as well.
His wife was not at home andneighbors were keeping an eye
out for him.
Fingerprints were found butyielded no leads, as they were
just from the neighbors.
Those same neighbors were theones that found him sprawled on
the floor of a bedroom inside ofhis house, with blood
everywhere.
Police described the brutalslaying as without mercy, as
(07:36):
blood had even spattered ontothe ceiling and was spread in
different rooms throughout thehouse.
It was evident that Philip hadstruggled during the assault.
He died after being struck 37times with the cast iron
makeshift weapon.
While detectives dug intoPeters' past, searching for
enemies who hated him enough towant him dead.
Mrs Peters was eventuallyreleased from the hospital and
(07:57):
returned home as a widow.
A good friend of hers moved into help around the house.
In the months following MrsPeters' return, she and her
friend reported strange thingshappening around the house Food
missing, strange sounds, thingsout of place.
The housekeeper, while livingthere, once called the police,
stating Just a few minutes ago Iheard sort of a tapping noise.
(08:19):
I heard it before, but Ithought it was only some
woodpeckers.
But this time I walked into thekitchen and I saw the door to
the stairway that leads upstairsslowly opening.
A foot came out and then I sawa thin white hand on the door.
I screamed and the man duckedback into the stairway and I
heard him running up the steps.
The friend was convinced thatthe house was haunted and she
ended up leaving while MrsPeters decided to relocate to
(08:42):
Grand Junction to live with herson.
So the house at this point stoodvacant and the strange sounds
and disgusting smells continuedto be reported to police, but
they could not find anyone inthe house.
Police found all the home'sdoors and windows were locked
and there was no other sign offorced entry.
They noted the trap door butbelieved a normal-sized person
(09:03):
could not fit through it.
Mabel Burke and her fivechildren lived next door to the
house and would consistently seelights going on and off, once
even arming herself with abaseball bat, and knocking on
the door.
Theodore remained in thisvacant house with the occasional
signs of his occupation writtenoff as an apparition or local
pranksters.
(09:23):
Everything changed in July of1942, once Denver police decided
to station two detectivesoutside of the house and keep it
under surveillance instead ofwaiting for a call from the
neighbors.
The vigilance paid off whenthey both spotted a man inside
of the house.
They ran inside but discoveredthe house was empty until they
heard a noise upstairs.
(09:44):
They opened a closet door justin time to spot a pair of legs
disappearing into a smallopening in the house attic.
They grabbed the legs andpulled the man attached to them
back to the ground.
He was taken into policecustody and confessed to the
crimes.
When police had finally caughtthe man, he was described by
them as the strangest lookinghuman I had ever seen.
(10:06):
He was tall, just under sixfeet but thin as a wilted weed.
His dirty hair hung low overhis ears and his skin was the
ugly unwashed gray of anovercast sky.
His shoes and clothes wererotted and torn.
One of the officers toldChilders when he was discovered.
He first told police that hisname was Matthew Cornish.
(10:28):
After feeding him a hamburger,apple pie and some coffee,
police began questioning thetransient.
The 59-year-old man kept onepanel unlocked to the crawlspace
above the home and would lockit from the inside when he
retreated to his attic abode.
At first he denied this andthen he proceeded to tell the
truth, which was very muchstranger than any fiction.
(10:51):
Theodore had come there as asick boy with his widowed mother
.
After his mother's death, hefelt as if he was a lost soul,
drifting from town to town.
When he returned to Denver, asa homeless person, sleeping in
alleyways and doorways andspending a dime a day on food,
he decided that he would returnto a long-lost friend, philip
(11:11):
Peters.
When he went to the house anddiscovered that Philip had gone
to the hospital to visit hiswife, he decided to just let
himself into the home and try tofind food shelter, but at the
time discovered a loose panelleading up to the attic.
The space was 27 inches highand 57 inches wide.
He was able to make it his home, so he stayed, and when the
(11:33):
house was vacant he would slipdownstairs, grab some food, just
a little bit at a time.
So as not to draw suspicion, hecut into the house's wiring
system to install an outlet inthe attic.
He stockpiled the Peters cannedgoods.
He even built a makeshift radioto stay in touch with the
outside world.
His ghostly existence wasdisturbed one evening as he had
(11:54):
slipped downstairs to make somecoffee for himself.
He thought that Philip was outto dinner.
But instead Philip had enteredthrough his back door as the
unwanted houseguest was standingat his kitchen stove.
Theodore hit Philip over thehead with an old .44 caliber
revolver in the kitchen andPhilip, stunned, moved to the
living room to call police,hitting Philip again.
(12:15):
Theodore told police.
He thought he had knocked himout and he planned to take money
and just leave.
Instead he heard Philip in thebedroom and that's when he told
police.
He beat the elderly man withthe stove shaker until he was
still.
Stranger still, theodorecontinued to stay in the home.
He heard the news of Philip'sdeath on his makeshift radio
(12:35):
while hiding in the tiny atticabove the very room in which he
killed the old man.
Theodore insisted to policethat beating Philip had been a
split-second decision.
After he had killed him,theodore insisted to police that
beating Philip had been asplit-second decision.
After he had killed him,theodore sought refuge up in the
attic where he stayed untilJuly.
Denver police sent theirsmallest officer up into the
cramped attic where Theodore hadmade himself a nest of sorts.
(12:56):
He had collected his waste andhad not bathed during his attic
residency.
Eventually, police detectivesreturned to the home to see
Theodore's habitat.
Local newspapers dubbed him thesneaky sneaky Spider-Man of
Denver After police detectiveFred Zarnow remarked a man would
have to be a spider to stand itlong up
(13:17):
there.
On Halloween of 1942, a jurytook just 90 minutes to convict
Theodore guilty of murder and hewas given life in prison
instead of the gas chamber.
Upon his sentencing, theodorewas quoted to say Now I feel
safe.
I'll have a better home than Ihave had in years.
He was imprisoned in CanyonCity until his death in 1967.
(13:40):
Philip Peter was described asbeing kind, steady and
well-respected by everybodyaround him.
While in prison, theodorebecame a model prisoner.
He took up a job in the prisonelectric shop and his life
behind bars was likely much morepreferable to his life in the
crampedattic.
