Happy Friday, coven! It's time for the latest in our ongoing cryptid series, and we're going to try our absolute damndest to make this one hot. The combination of reading romantasy and being raised on beauty and the beast has ruined us forever, and we'll find any way to make this weirder than it already is. Thank goodness we weren't around in the summer of 1988, when residents of Lee County, South ...

This might be one of my favorite news episodes yet, y’all. It’s an absolute doozy. The shenanigans are plentiful. We’re spiraling over Tyra Banks’ “hot ice cream” (yes, it tastes exactly like wet toast), unpacking the true motives behind one Utah dad’s truly unhinged family hike, and debating the very important question: What should kids leave out for Mothman on Christmas Eve? I know. Just… tune in. Words cannot do th...

When Ryan Borgwardt vanished from Alaska in 2022, it looked like tragedy: an abandoned car, a chilling video, and a community grieving what they believed was a suicide. But the truth was far stranger. This week, we unravel how a father of four faked his own death, fled across the world, and built an entirely new life—leaving behind a family, a mountain of debt, and a web of lies.
In this episode, we follow the inv...

Do you hear that coven? It's the gales of November. And we know from the beautiful poetry of Gordon Lightfoot's musical storytelling that the gales are indeed bad news, especially when they arrive early. If you haven't yet guessed it, this week we are covering the tragic tale of the Edmund Fitzgerald. On November 9th, 1975, the great lakes freighter left Wisconsin bound for a steel mill near Detroit, bu...

With a title like this, do we really need to write a description? There's a big blue ball of gas out there that might be an alien spacecraft or just one big cosmic fart. Just ask Harvard!

Around 1910, residents of the quiet coastal town of Olalla, WA, reported seeing gaunt, malnourished people wandering aimlessly in the woods. They were looking for food and assistance, but no one dared help them. Rumors swirled about the "doctor" in the woods, and the strange hypnotic power she held over her patients. Over the course of just a few years, dozens of her patients would willingly starve themselve...

It should come as no surprise that Maine is haunted. It's old. It's weather beaten, it's dark... hence the need for all those lighthouses. It's also the home of America's first documented haunting, the ghost of Nelly Butler. So it makes sense that ghosts lurk around every corner. This week we'll uncover the hauntings at the historic Kennebunk Inn. We'll discover the tragedies that un...

Here at EBC we're no stranger to creepy campfire tales. And we love a good urban legend. But for kids growing up in Staten Island in the 80s, the spooky lore was a little too specific. Fireside tales warned of a mysterious killer named 'Cropsey', who was said to live in the tunnels under the abandoned psychiatric facility nearby, and would sneak out at night to steal children. Kids were taught to stay o...

We’re all fired up this week, Coven. We’re not sure why, but do we really need a reason with news like this? There’s grandpappies drugging their granddaughter’s ice creams. There’s politicians that just won’t die. Bodies exhibited that maybe shouldn’t be. It’s grim! But there’s positives, too. Apparently you can enter a Bigfoot calling contest in Maine. Twilight is once again hitting the big screens. And you can prese...

We'll learn some very important lessons this week, Coven. One: you need to look under the bed once inside your hotel room. Two: wash your butt thoroughly so the butt sniffer doesn't get you. You heard that right. There's a buttsniffing bandit at large, and he's coming for your ass. There's also a pudgy Japanese man with a bowl haircut recording you as you sleep. This may be our scariest episod...
