We’re on the hunt for all things spooky! A bloody good podcast about the dark side of life served up with a side of sweet treats. Hosted by Elise Giordano + Halee Rae.
Dearest Coven, what a journey we've been on. Over the past 4 years, 192 episodes (!!) and many many hours of laughs, tears, and everything in between, we've been through so much together. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. With much sadness and a lot of thoughtful consideration, we've made the decision to take a break from the podcast. It's hard to find the words for what this show...
Coven, it's time for us to bid you adieu for the year. We're about to settle in for a long winter's nap (a 2 week hiatus so we can rest and enjoy the holiday season), so we're leaving you with a truly chaotic episode to end 2025. We've got hot takes, we've got a 'good for her', we talk skincare, and we bring you the latest in Vashon traffic gossip. All that alongside our usual t...
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...
This week all bets are off as we cover a wide range of topics, and bring our hottest takes. We'll talk about women having babies in their late 60s, women protesting in giant phallic suits, and women being accused of witchcraft for trying to test the charitable nature of churches... you all know we support women's rights, but this week we support their wrongs too! We have haunted house real estate updates, a...
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! We're also digging into adrenaline seekers finding out the hard way that it's smarter just to stay home. We'll talk about the Conjuring house that sold on Halloween and ask you for constructive feedback, but only ...
Happy Halloween, Coven! We can't believe the spookiest night of the year is already upon us. Not only is it our favorite because we get to celebrate the thinning of the veil, but we get to hear stories from you! Tonight we'll hear about haunted microwaves, spirits crossing over after a disastrous car accident, haunted hotels and movie theaters. There's even a terrifying attempted murder. Yikes. This epi...
Coven, the veil is thinning and every hour we creep closer to peak spooky season! Of course this means we are pulling out all the stops to bring you the most chilling content we can. This week we're traveling all around Louisiana, from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, to find the most haunted spots. From old creole restaurants, to beautifully constructed government buildings, we've compiled a list of must-visit p...
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...
Tonight, we'll travel back to 1922 rural Bavaria to uncover the haunting mystery of the Hinterkaifeck murders—one of Germany’s most infamous and perplexing unsolved crimes. On a quiet farmstead, six members of the Gruber family were brutally killed under circumstances that remain shrouded in suspicion and fear. Strange footsteps in the snow, whispered rumors of family secrets, and eerie reports of someone lurking...
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...
