We’re diving deep into the disturbing, abusive world of Gypsy Rose Blanchard as we unravel the fascinating layers of her life. From her distinctive, childlike voice that her mother, Deedee Blancharde (allegedly) forced Gypsy to use, and her tumultuous relationship with Nicholas Godejohn, this episode will have you stunned throughout.From Claudine Blanchard forcing her daughter Gypsy to have her teeth removed and a feeding tube painfully installed, to the beatings that Gypsy had to endure for anything that Deedee deemed to be “out of line”, this is a hard case to swallow.With documentaries like Mommy Dead and Dearest on HBO Max, to the Hulu phenomenon, “The Act” with Joey King and Patricia Arquette, this case has a near endless supply of information, but that’s not going to stop me from throwing my two cents into the ring.This case seemed to be pretty open and shut, Gypsy and Nick Godejohn stabbed Deedee, they were responsible for the death of Gypsy’s mother, so they should be in prison for life… right?Wrong.Gypsy Rose Blanchard has officially ben released from prison as of December 28, 2023 into the loving arms of her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson. Now, as Ryan and Gypsy are on a media spree, including podcast appearances on *The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition!* to clear the air, it seems to me that the story of Gypsy Rose and Deedee Blanchard is *far* from over.**Comment “Gypsy is free” if you have made it this far.**.Read up on more cases at ***creepsandcreeps.com***.INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/creepsandcreepspodcast/.🎬 Watch other spooky, creepy stories from me: 🎬👻 https://tinyurl.com/The-Exorcist-TRUE-STORY👻 https://tinyurl.com/The-Jersey-Devil👻 https://tinyurl.com/HAUNTING-at-The-Stanley-Hotel.🎬 Watch other fascinating true crime cases from me: 🎬🕵️♀️ https://tinyurl.com/ChrisWattsDeepDive🕵️♀️ https://tinyurl.com/Diane-Downs🕵️♀️ https://tinyurl.com/The-Farmville-Murders.Featured Creators and Attribution:https://www.youtube.com/@dreadingCAP https://www.youtube.com/@globalnewsThe ***incredible*** article that I mentioned earlier: https://www.freewheelintravel.org/mommy-dead-and-dearest-and-the-pity-narrative-of-disability/.**National Domestic Violence Hotline****800-799-7233** **SMS:** Text **START** to **88788**Or visit https://www.thehotline.org/Stay safe .Sources:http://tinyurl.com/GypsyRBlanchard

Casey Anthony is well known for being one of the most hated woman in America, and for good reason. After her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, only a toddler at the time of her disappearance, fell off the face of the earth for 31 days and Casey couldn’t be bothered to call the police, the public was on high alert. This was only exacerbated as the trial of Casey Anthony proceeded, raising more questions than answers.
People felt that her trial played out super similarly to the O.J Simpson murder trial, and the verdict reactions reflect that perfectly. Pretty much everybody lost their minds when Casey Anthony was found innocent of the murder of Caylee Marie Anthony, and the waters got even murkier when she did an in depth documentary called “Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies”.
In this episode, we dive into Casey Anthony’s case, her interrogation, the verdict that shook America, and try to rip apart her story.
But this is only part one.
In part two, we will be discussing the controversial verdict and try to figure out why a jury of her peers found the most hated woman in America to be innocent.
Grab a calming herbal tea, because I guarantee that this episode will get you fired up.

The Chris Watts case is a notorious criminal case that gained widespread media attention in 2018. Chris Watts was a seemingly ordinary family man living in Frederick, Colorado, with his wife, Shanann Watts, their two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, and baby Nico on the way. The family appeared to be living a typical suburban life, with Chris working at Anadarko Petroleum and Shanann working as a a distributer of THRIVE, a product from an MLM called Le-Vel. Because of this, she frequently shared updates about their life on Facebook, which she was unfortunately harshly criticized about after her death.
On August 13, 2018, pregnant Shanann Watts and her two daughters were reported missing by her best friend, Nickole Atkinson. Initially, Chris Watts appeared on Denver 7 News, pleading for their safe return, but being a big weirdo about it. He was such a giggle little creep, and I posted the interview from them. However, as the investigation unfolded, inconsistencies in his statements and behavior raised suspicions. Between his neighbor’s interview showing the security footage of Chris clearly being full of crap and Nichol Kessinger coming forward admitting to the affair, things weren't looking good for Christopher Watts.
After being subjected to questioning by law enforcement officials, Terry Lee and Agent Coder, Chris Watts eventually confessed to murdering his wife Shanann and their two daughters. He admitted to ending Shanann in a fit of rage after a heated argument and then subsequently their two daughters. (I also posted the confession interrogation as well, sooo….)
Tragically, the bodies of Shanann, Bella, and Celeste were found on the property of an oil company where Chris Watts worked. Shanann's body was buried in a shallow grave, while the bodies of the two girls were found submerged in oil tanks.
Is Chris Watts innocent? Why would he do this? Is he just a narcissist? Perhaps a sociopath, or (according to him) because of his mistress Nichol Kessinger? (But, as far as I could find, Nichol and Chris Watts aren’t even together anymore, so it’s not as if that matters anyway.)
Come along, Creepy Crew, this is a Body Cam and interrogation heavy episode about the Chris Watts Case.

Aileen Wuornos was an American serial killer who gained notoriety in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She was convicted of murdering seven men, Richard Mallory, David Spears, Charles ‘Chuck’ Carskaddon, Peter Siems, Eugene ‘Troy’ Burress, Charles ‘Dick’ Humphreys, and Walter Gino Antonio, in Florida between 1989 and 1990. Wuornos became one of the most infamous female serial killers in American history.
Her modus operandi typically involved luring men to secluded areas under the pretense of sexual encounters and then shooting them. Wuornos later claimed that she killed these men in self-defense, alleging that they had either raped or attempted to rape her during these encounters.
Wuornos was arrested in 1991 at the “Last Resort” Bar and her trial became highly publicized. She was convicted of the murders and sentenced to death, with her last meal being a cup of black coffee. Her case raised significant debates and controversies regarding her mental health, her background of abuse and trauma, and the ethics of the death penalty.
Aileen Wuornos was executed by lethal injection in Florida on October 9, 2002. Her life and crimes have been the subject of various books, documentaries, and films, including the 2003 movie "Monster," in which Charlize Theron portrayed her and won an Academy Award for her performance, and the documentary, Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003).
Watch until the end, where I will be posting some clips of her last interview, her last words, and how she feels that she would have turned out if she wasn’t so tortured since childhood.

The Judith Barsi case is a tragic and heart-wrenching story that sheds light on the devastating consequences of domestic violence. Judith Eva Barsi, a talented child actress, gained recognition for her roles in movies like "The Land Before Time" as Ducky and "All Dogs Go to Heaven”, as Anne Marie. Her promising career was overshadowed by a tragic event that ultimately claimed her life at a young age.Judith's life was marred by the abusive and controlling behavior of her father, József Barsi. Despite her on-screen success, behind closed doors, she and her mother, Maria Barsi, endured constant emotional and physical abuse at the hands of József. The family's struggles were concealed from the public eye, as Judith continued to work in the entertainment industry.
On July 25, 1988, this heartrending story took a devastating turn. József Barsi, consumed by jealousy and rage, shot and killed Judith and Maria in their home. Following the murders, he set the house on fire before turning the gun on himself, ending his own life. Judith Barsi was just 10 years old at the time of her tragic death.
The news of Judith's murder shocked the entertainment industry and the public, highlighting the urgent need to address issues of domestic violence and child abuse. The case underscored how even seemingly successful and happy families can harbor dark secrets behind closed doors.
In the aftermath of this tragedy, efforts were made to raise awareness about domestic violence and the importance of early intervention to protect children from abusive environments. Judith Barsi's memory lives on as a poignant reminder of the need for vigilance and support for those who may be suffering in silence.

Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: 988

PLEASE do not hesitate to call the suicide prevention hotline if you or someone that you know is experiencing a mental health crisis.
The Syko Sam Case is a chilling and disturbing true crime story that involves the internet, social media, mental health issues, and a shocking act of violence. The case revolves around the murder of 16-year-old Emma Niederbrock, her best friend Melanie Wells, her mother and father Debra Kelley and Mark Niederbrock, and the subsequent investigation that unveiled a complex web of online interactions and a disturbed individual.
Emma Niederbrock was a teenager living in Farmville, Virginia, who had a fascination with the horrorcore subculture and was active on various online platforms. She became acquainted with a group of like-minded individuals, including a young man who went by the online alias "Syko Sam" or “LiLdEmOnDoG.” Syko Sam, whose real name was Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey III, was an aspiring rapper with a troubled past and apparent mental health issues.
As Emma Niederbrock and Syko Sam's online interactions intensified, they developed a romantic relationship despite never meeting in person. In 2009, Emma invited Syko Sam to visit her at her family's home in Farmville. Syko Sam traveled from California to Virginia, to go to a gathering called “Strictly For The Wicked”.
Tragically, the meeting took a horrific turn. On September 14, 2009, Emma Niederbrock, her friend Melanie Wells, her mother Debra Kelley, and later, her father Mark Niederbrock were all brutally murdered in the Niederbrock family home. The bodies were discovered days later, and the crime scene was gruesome, marked by extreme violence and apparent overkill.
The investigation into the Syko Sam Case uncovered a disturbing backstory. Richard McCroskey had a history of mental health struggles and bullying about his red hair and weight. He was known to have violent fantasies and had even written lyrics about murder and death, which raised concerns among those who knew him.
The case drew significant media attention due to its connection to online subcultures in the horrorcore community, with the possible encouragement of artists like ICP (Insane Clown Posse) and The Geto Boys, the brutal nature of the crime, and the disturbing online presence of Syko Sam.
Richard McCroskey pled guilty to avoid the death penalty and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The Syko Sam Case serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of online interactions, the potential consequences of untreated mental health issues, and the tragic outcomes that can result from a convergence of factors and music in the digital age. It highlights the need for continued awareness and intervention for individuals who may display concerning behaviors or express violent fantasies, both online and offline.

The exorcism of Ronald Hunkeler (A.K.A Roland Doe) stands as one of the most infamous and haunting cases of demonic possession in modern history. This real-life account of spiritual turmoil took place in the 1940s and continues to captivate and disturb those who delve into its unsettling details.
Roland Doe, a pseudonym given to protect the individual's identity, was a young boy living in a suburban neighborhood. It began innocently enough, with reports of strange noises, objects moving on their own, and unexplained disturbances plaguing the Doe household. As these eerie occurrences escalated, Roland's behavior underwent a drastic transformation, marked by violent fits, guttural voices emanating from his body, and a seeming detachment from reality.
Desperate to find answers and relief, Roland's family turned to the Catholic Church. Father Raymond Bishop, a priest experienced in matters of exorcism, was called upon to confront the malevolent force that had taken hold of the young boy's life. The exorcism ritual took place over several weeks, within the confines of a sacred chamber, where the battle between the earthly and supernatural realms played out in chilling intensity.
The exorcism sessions were marked by a series of alarming phenomena – Roland's body contorting in unnatural ways, his voice morphing into guttural growls and foreign languages, and his sudden aversion to sacred objects and holy water. Father Bishop, resolute in his mission, invoked the power of prayer, scripture, and divine intervention to cast out the malevolent entity that had entwined itself with Roland's soul.
The psychological and emotional toll of the exorcism was palpable, both on Roland and those involved in the harrowing ordeal. The demon's resistance was relentless, and as Father Bishop continued his battle against the forces of darkness, it became evident that the entity was no ordinary adversary. The exorcism reached its zenith in a climactic confrontation, where Father Bishop's unwavering faith and determination clashed head-on with the malevolent entity's stubborn resistance.
After a final, grueling struggle, marked by moments of eerie silence and gut-wrenching outbursts, the demon was ultimately banished from Roland's tormented body. The room fell still, and the air seemed to clear as the darkness that had plagued the young boy's life was lifted.
The exorcism of Roland Doe remains a haunting reminder of the thin veil that separates the realms of the supernatural and the human experience. It is a story of courage, faith, and the enduring battle between good and evil – a testament to the mysteries of the spiritual world and the indomitable strength of the human spirit in the face of the inexplicable, and was the direct inspiration for William Peter Blatty's book and subsequent movie, "The Exorcist".

The crime sent shockwaves through the community and prompted a widespread search, ultimately leading to Bustamante's arrest and confession. The case raises questions about juvenile justice, mental health, and the complexities of handling serious crimes committed by young offenders. Alyssa Bustamante's disturbing actions continue to serve as a haunting reminder of the potential for darkness within the human psyche.

Our journey begins in the foggy night of January 3, 1804, when a terrified woman reported a haunting encounter with an apparition dressed in white near the St. Paul's Churchyard in Hammersmith. News of the ghost's malevolence quickly spread, and fear gripped the local community, prompting them to seek protection from the ghastly entity.
As the Hammersmith Ghost's notoriety grew, more sightings of the spectral figure were reported. Panic swept through the neighborhood, and tales of hair-raising encounters circulated, leaving residents sleepless and paranoid. The ghost's eerie presence seemed to be spreading unrest and fear throughout Hammersmith.
Amidst the growing hysteria, tragedy struck on February 3, 1804, when a local bricklayer named Thomas Millwood was mistaken for the Hammersmith Ghost and fatally shot by a nervous vigilante. This tragic incident heightened the tensions, raising questions about the identity of the apparition and the appropriateness of vigilante justice.
As the authorities investigated the circumstances surrounding Thomas Millwood's death, startling revelations emerged. The true identity of the Hammersmith Ghost was unveiled as a deceased shoemaker named John Graham, who had been buried in the local churchyard. But how had he come to be seen wandering the streets, and why did his specter appear so menacing?
As the Hammersmith Ghost's true identity came to light, debate raged over whether the sightings were part of a sinister hoax or something truly supernatural. Skeptics argued that it was merely a cruel prank played by mischievous individuals seeking to terrorize the community. Meanwhile, believers clung to the idea of a vengeful spirit haunting the living.
The killing of Thomas Millwood led to the arrest of the shooter, Francis Smith. The landmark trial that followed captured the public's attention and raised complex legal questions about the nature of apparitions and the consequences of acting on fear. The court's decision would set a precedent for future cases involving self-defense and mistaken identity.
As the Hammersmith Ghost hysteria eventually subsided, its legacy endured. The case offered valuable insights into human psychology, mob mentality, and the power of fear over reason. Furthermore, it prompted important discussions about the reliability of eyewitness accounts and the responsibility of the legal system in handling cases involving the supernatural.
The legend of the Hammersmith Ghost remains an enduring mystery, a curious blend of the supernatural and human psychology. As we delve into the chilling tale of this infamous specter, we are reminded of the impact that fear and superstition can have on a community and the importance of seeking justice with a clear and rational mind. The Hammersmith Ghost will forever haunt the pages of history, leaving behind a cautionary tale of how the unknown can drive us to extremes.

The Tara Calico case is a perplexing and haunting missing persons' mystery that has captured public attention for decades. Tara Leigh Calico was a 19-year-old girl living in Belen, New Mexico, when she vanished on September 20, 1988.
On that fateful day, Tara set out for her daily bike ride along Highway 47, a well-known route she often frequented. However, she never returned home. When she failed to come back, her mother, Patty Doel, became concerned and launched a search for her daughter. The family, community members, and law enforcement officers joined forces in a desperate attempt to find Tara.
Months passed without any solid leads or signs of Tara's whereabouts. Then, in June 1989, a disturbing discovery was made approximately 20 miles from where she disappeared. A Polaroid photograph was found in a parking lot outside a convenience store in Port St. Joe, Florida. In the photo, a young girl and a young boy, both bound and gagged, appeared to be in distress. Many believed the girl bore a striking resemblance to Tara. Despite extensive efforts to identify the individuals in the photo, neither the girl nor the boy has been conclusively identified, and it remains uncertain if the girl is indeed Tara.
The case garnered significant media attention, generating numerous tips and leads, but sadly, none of them led to Tara. Over the years, several potential suspects and persons of interest emerged, including a local sheriff's deputy and an alleged prison inmate who claimed to know details about Tara's disappearance. Still, no concrete evidence linked anyone to the case remains unsolved.
In the years following her disappearance, Tara's family refused to give up hope. They continued to advocate for her and raise awareness about the case, using various means such as social media campaigns and public events. Things ramped up in intensity when two other young boys, Michael Henley Jr. and David Borer also went missing... and then a mysterious Polaroid showed up.
Despite the passage of time, the investigation into Tara Calico's disappearance has never been officially closed. The lack of solid leads and concrete evidence, along with the enigmatic Polaroid photo, has fueled countless theories and speculation about what might have happened to Tara that day. Some believe she was the victim of a random abduction, while others theorize that she may have been targeted due to her mother's involvement in local politics.
The case remains one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries in the United States, leaving a community and a family searching for answers. Until concrete evidence emerges, the fate of Tara Calico remains a haunting enigma, capturing the hearts and minds of those who still hope for resolution and closure.

The Reena Virk case involves the brutal assault and murder of a 14-year-old girl by a group of teenagers, later dubbed The Shoreline Six, who, in part, were Josephine Bell, leader of the CMC (Crip Mafia Cartel), Kelly Ellard, Dusty, and Warren Glowatski, in Victoria, Canada, in 1997. Reena, who had a troubled background, was lured to a party at Craigflower Bridge, where she was violently attacked by Warren Glowatski, Kelly Ellard, and others.
After escaping briefly, Reena was pursued, dragged to a waterfront area, and subjected to further beatings before being drowned. The case revealed a lack of intervention and support, delaying the search for Reena. Legal proceedings led to convictions for those involved, highlighting issues of bullying, violence, and the vulnerability of marginalized individuals. The case sparked discussions about restorative justice, rehabilitation, and the need to support troubled youth.
Reena's tragic death serves as a reminder of the consequences of cruelty and the need to address systemic issues, and inspired Rebecca Godfrey’s true crime bestseller Under the Bridge, which is officially getting a Hulu adaptation in 2023.
