Episodes
Coven, spooky season has officially begun! And our dearest Lisey is currently in Sedona, seeking spiritual enlightenment and good vibes. So it only felt right that we continued our tour of the most haunted places in these here United States, and focused this week on Arizona. It turns out that Arizona's storied Wild West past makes for ghosts-a-plenty, with countless reported hauntings and specters seemingly lurki...
Coven, the horrors may be relentless, but so are we! Need to escape from doom scrolling for a hot second? Join us for our weekly news roundup. This week we cover a longtime mystery finally solved, a murderous memoir writer, and all kinds of spooky real estate updates. We'll talk about the perverted amputation surgeon, the unfortunate arrest of Chuck E. Cheese, and obviously talk a lot of shit. Come laugh with us ...
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...
In December 1968, Barbara Jane Mackle had come down with the flu. She felt so poorly that she had to cut out of an exam early and head to a hotel where her mother took care of her. At 4 a.m., kidnappers knocked on the door and took Barbara by force. They demanded her father hand over $500k or risk his daughter dying underground. Gary Crist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier buried Barbara in a coffin outside of Atlanta, GA, wit...
Y'all know the drill... it's Friday, we're going to read some spookily accurate tarot and shit on AI. This week, a fake Kendall Jenner AI chat bot lured an old man to his death. A new startup in Texas has proposed introducing defense drones in schools. And a teacher randomly committed murder on a forested trail. But fear not, there is good news too! Websleuth moms actually solved a crime! And last but n...
Coven, your favorite witches have returned from our adventures with tales aplenty! Lisey did the business in Montana and cosplayed as Kevin Costner (but hotter, somehow), and halee completed a sacred pilgrimage. That's right, she visited the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine, and came back feeling inspired and ready to find bigfoot. This week we'll learn about two cryptid stories that wer...
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...
We promised it would happen, and we're nothing if not true to our word. This week we're digging into the wild and whacky ways of Mormonism! An angelic vision and ancient text deciphered via a hat and some seer stones has resulted in a religion with more than 17.5 million followers. Since we're in our EBC Lite era, we're not doing a deep dive, but we are slinging facts that leave us with more questi...
Dearest coven, you've made it to Friday! And what better way to relax than to listen to your favorite witches summarizing the weirdest and most adorable news they can find? Speaking of adorable, this week we'll talk about a plethora of sweet animals- from daring airplane dog rescues, to chickens wearing scarves, to chickens who may unfortunately require cowboy surgery, we have all the best animal updates. We...
In November 2011, Latoya Ammons, her mother Rosa, and Latoya's three children moved into a rental house in Gary, Indiana. At first, everything seemed fine. Then came swarms of thousands of black flies, even though it was the dead of winter. Soon strange activity began in the house- shadows, unexplained noises, wet boot prints on the floor. And then the demonic possession began. Without giving too much away, this ...
What a week of news we have to share! And most of it is pretty grim. But that's why you've got us - to bring some levity to these dark, depressing times. This week we'll read another lucky listener's tarot and learn that perception really is everything! We'll learn about lucky newlyweds who said, "I Do" at a Bigfoot Festival. Can you say dreamy? We're jealous. We'll learn a...
We’ll give you a hint : it rhymes with batholic and ends with church… We’re not gonna sugarcoat it, Coven. This week’s episode is anything but lite. But sometimes we have to share the hard things in the hopes of making change. In 1969, Sister Cathy Cesnik was found murdered, her body dumped on a hillside, hidden in snow. The case went cold for years, until students from Archbishop Keough High School came forward in 19...
Coven, this episode may be the spookiest hour of all... Our pubic lands are under attack! This week we decided to highlight some of our favorite places in our nation's gorgeous vast wilderness. And what better way to remind us how precious these places are than to hear about the strangest and spookiest things you can expect (hope?) to encounter in our national forests and BLM lands! Consider this the latest chapt...
Dearest coven, this week has been a bit of a doozy. But we remain unwavering in our dedication to bringing laughs even among the tears. In this week's episode, we get political and bring our hot takes regarding the real life handmaid's tale scenario playing out in a Georgia hospital room. We'll talk about some dark Irish history. And then we'll do a swift 180, and talk about the weird and ridiculou...
In May 1989, an anonymous whistleblower appeared on a Las Vegas news show, interviewed by journalist George Knapp. The claims shared by "Dennis" (as he was called on the show) were pretty remarkable. He claimed that he had worked for the government on a top secret program located in the desert near Area 51. He said that the government had 9 extraterrestrial crafts that scientists were working on reverse engi...
Ya’ll, the biggest news of the week is that we started a Patreon! You asked how to support us, and baby, we answered! Now it’s in your hands to choose which tier you’ll join. Speaking of hands, this week we use ours to let the tarot doing the talking. Dear listener Terri learns that community can be found over a plate of tagliatelle, and we learn that Halee should be a professional tarot reader. See ya later, therapy!...
With bodies popping up all over the Eastern Seaboard, people are starting to question, is there a New England serial killer? And more importantly, is it Taylor Swift? The police aren’t releasing many clues, apart from “no signs of foul play,” but a leg found in an affluent neighborhood and bodies floating down rivers would beg to differ. Still, foul play does not a serial killer make. We’ll cover the latest timeline a...
Coven, we've been trying for the past few years to carve out our niche in the heavily populated podcast world, and we think we've finally found it. Over and over again we find ourselves bringing you the latest news on three of the most important contemporary topics: Bigfoot, AI, and creepy clowns. This week is no exception as we discuss a compelling sasquatch sighting, all the shitty things AI did this week,...
On June 4th, 2010, 7 year old Kyron Horman was excited to present his project on red-eyed tree frogs at his elementary school's science fair. His step-mom Terri drove him to school, browsed the fair with him, snapped a photo of him next to his poster, and then said goodbye. She watched him turn around and walk down the hallway towards his classroom, and then she left. That would be the last time anyone would see ...
