More Than Murder

Another "state school" built with the purpose of "reform," turned very, very ugly. We know we've covered many of these places, if not all of the main ones, but Pennhurst's story had to be told. Especially when it's one of the most sought-after places to explore in the U.S. for paranormal investigators.

This week is a tough one, but it seems relevant to discuss in the current environment. We talk about a violent incel, hell bent on wiping out the female population, along with males he considered to be "alpha." His rampage began with a knife, and also involved guns, and running people down with his car.

On this week's episode we talk about Teddy Roosevelt's daughter, Alice. She is quite the character, and we decided she deserved an episode of her one. Enjoy this listicle telling of how Alice broke the standards set in place for women, especially in the early 1900's, and how she also became the most well-known socialite pretty much in presidential history. We love her!

If you're familiar with creepy pasta stories, you know that many times they're fiction, but sometimes, people write them based on true stories. You, dear listeners will have to be the judge of that with this one. In this week's episode we learn about a phenomenon witnessed by many people, called the Black-Eyed Kids. Yes, it is as creepy as it sounds! Sit back, light a candle or start a campfire, because these stories are Midnight S...

Leonarda Cianciulli was a lady killa all the way from Italy. She was a soap maker who used some pretty nefarious ingredients to make the soaps with which people cleaned themselves. Are you curious yet? Be sure to give this week's episode a listen to find out the details.

Now, we all know about side-shows and freak shows, P.T Barnum and the circus, but what we’re talking about today is different. These were considered ethnological expositions, and they happened in predominantly white societies and countries. The humans in the zoos were always non-white, and many times had some way of living or some quality that was turned into a money-making spectacle and put on display.

In this week's very uninspired episode, we chat briefly about the novel The Haunting of Hill House and what it was based on. We then dive into the movies, and tv series that were based on the novel; and it may or may not turn into somewhat of a mini, movie review sesh. This week's episode is light, and just a little all over the place. Enjoy, and relax with us!

In the United States, it used to be illegal to donate your body to science; The only the human body and organs that could be studied were those of executed prisoners, and the supply of those didn't meet the demand. In came, the body snatchers. The stealing of bodies from their graves began as a means to conduct scientific study and research, and it was. Once body snatching was no longer needed, that didn't mean that it didn't conti...

If you are a fan of the paranormal or have watched any ghost hunting show (there are many), you may be familiar with today’s haunted destination. One family who seemed to be plagued with misfortune (and death), resided in this home and some believe they are still lurking the shadows to this day. It's another one branded “The Most Haunted home in America,” and has piqued the interest of many since it was built in 1856.

If you tuned into last week’s episode, we figured out together, that this week’s episode was going to be on a cult. This cult has really horrible aspects to it, but it’s not the Jim Jones kind of cult either, where it all ended super tragically. The cult on this week's episode is crazy in the way the folks who’d joined were brainwashed, and what they were brainwashed into thinking was normal and okay. This episode contains gra...

May 27, 1991 was a fairly normal day in Milwaukee Wisconsin. That was, until Police were called by concerned women who’d encountered a naked boy on the street. He was disoriented and had visible bloody injuries. Once police arrived, they were met by a normal, looking man who stated the boy was actually his boyfriend, and there had been a small domestic dispute, but all was well. What the officers didn’t know, was that they were...

This week, we explore a very old, very unmarked cemetery, and a chapel built and once owned by the Quakers. The Quakers have a long, interesting history, and this piece of land has some superstitious history to go with it, from Hell Hounds and curses to unseen spirits.
