Where today stands a charming tourist town, Jerome, Arizona was once the "wickedest town in America." Bordellos and saloons served up drinks and disease to the miners who frequented them. And when the mines inevitably became too much, the smelter spit them out with the trash - literally. Jerome's streets run red with blood, harboring memories of the past in every nook and corner. We'll uncover ghosts inside the Connor and Grand Hotel, formerly the United Verde Hospital. Elise provides her own on the ground research after enjoying an ooky spooky ghost tour inside Jerome's very own cemetery. Tune in to learn all about America's "first ghost city" and learn why Jerome holds a special place in Elise's heart. Happy Haunting!

It's hard to Live, Laugh, Love when there's just so much bullshit going on, Coven! Ruby Franke's husband claims Jodi Hildebrandt is actually possessed by the devil. Don't do Satan dirty like that! Rogue sasquatches turn out to be really tall runners who move more fluidly than most? And slippery thieves pelt bananas at a helpless attendant (who we'll discover isn't so helpless through the help of a little reading comprehension.) Things get a bit frisky as we uncover reports of shaved cats in the UK, and a rogue saw blade reminds us all that death is truly lurking around every corner. Happy Haunting!

In the late 1970s, a strange group of folks arrived on Vashon Island, WA. Seemingly overnight, 60 men, women and children set up military tents and portapotties and got to work transforming 58 acres of pristine coastal forest into a religious commune. Under the direction of their charismatic leader Lou, and his surly wife Mary Lou, the Wesleyan Cult built homes and a life for their community on their private compound. Rumors swirled around town as islanders wondered what this new group was up to. As we find out this week, it was much weirder and more sinister than anyone could've imagined.
In this week's episode, we have the absolute honor and privilege of interviewing Deb Donner, survivor of the Wesleyan Cult. Deb will walk us through her experience with the cult from the beginnings of the group, to the cult fleeing Illinois and arriving on Vashon, all the way to her courageous escape. Please join us in bearing witness to Deb's incredible story of survival and strength.

Coven, this is the week of people on their worst behavior! Starting with a modern day witch and her crystal ball (of meth) and ending with a variable potpourri of the worst parents we’ve ever heard of, our faith in humanity may be wavering.

Before things get too dark, we revisit a trusted favorite- our dearest Bigfoot. You know Elise is excited. Tune in for all that and more on this week’s news roundup!

On August 2nd, 2006, Robert Eric Wone was stabbed to death in the Washington, D.C. row home of a dear friend. What was first reported as a random crime inflicted by an intruder unfolded into something much more sinister. As detectives worked to piece together a strange and confounding puzzle, every piece they uncovered seemed to reveal more questions than answers. This week, we talk about the senseless and tragic loss of Robert's life, and offer up our theories as to what really happened that night. Grab a glass of Kimmy and help us crack this mystery!

We're not the only shit show this week, Coven. There's a veritable smorgasbord of shit in the news, and conspiracy theories are at the forefront. Across the pond, the Royal Family is missing its most beautiful member - Princess Kate. Is she alive? Is there a divorce looming? Is she simply taking time to improve her photoshop skills? Who can say. The conspiracies are more nefarious on this side of the pond, with a Boeing whistleblower supposedly killing himself mere days before his deposition. Self-inflicted gunshot wound? Doubtful. Scott Peterson is once again trying to prove his innocence, and he's not the only pig making headlines. One Kevin Bacon was found prowling the streets in search of doughnuts and marshmallows. Will he find them? There's all that and more in this week's news update! Happy Haunting!

"Do you guys ever think about dying?" Why, yes, just all day every day. Turns out, only 11 percent of the population is as obsessed with mortality as we are, but we know you're on the same page, Coven. No one can truly say what happens after you die, but a select few have an idea. Near Death Experiences have captivated the minds of supernatural and scientific alike for years. Some say it's the brain's way of coping before its demise, others think it's a look into the afterlife. (We're obviously here for the magic.) This week, we're going to hear from six different people who came close to death and lived to tell the tale. We'll talk to an EMT who gets a gut feeling when someone isn't going to make it. We'll hear from a young woman who was nearly paralyzed in a rodeo accident. And we'll talk to our dear friend Katie who nearly died in a head-on collision, but someone in the car told her to turn the wheel. Was it an angel? Spirit guide? Intuition? Who can really say? Tune in to decide for yourself. Happy Haunting!

Happy March, Coven! With a new month comes plenty of new strangeness. In Europe, we have a submerged stone wall that's at least 10,000 years old, and a tree-tossing mom risking it all for glory. In the northeast, we have halee's dream scenario- bigfoot prints in the Hudson Valley! And some excitement as our favorite hairy cryptid is coming to the big screen soon. We'll talk about haunted homes, a pregnant stingray (thanks immaculate conception?) and the scariest thing of all- mommy bloggers. All that and more when you tune in for this week's weirdness!

Dearest coven, today marks an important milestone for EBC… our 100th episode! To celebrate, we’re taking it back to the beginning of Elise and Halee’s friendship and covering the mystery/true crime(?) story that started it all! On August 1st, 2018, Samantha Sayers left her Seattle apartment to climb Vesper Peak in the Cascade mountain range. Sam was a relatively experienced hiker who loved Seattle for its easy access to the great outdoors. She signed her name in a log book at the trail head, was seen summiting the mountain by several witnesses, and then virtually disappeared. A heroic search and rescue effort began, ‘Sam’s Army’ rallied on Facebook, but no sign of Sam. It wasn’t long before the conspiracy theories started to pop up, as folks wondered how in this day and age someone could seemingly vanish into thin air. This week we’ll share our hot takes on Sam’s disappearance, her partner’s strange behavior, and the marvel that is Mother Nature. Come help us celebrate episode 100 and untangle this strange and tragic tale!

It's a dog eat dog world out there, folks. And the proof is in the pudding because this week we're talking about rabid coyotes and mutant wolves. The former are biting hikers, while the latter just may be saving the world from cancer. You can thank Chernobyl for that. (Actually, thank science.) Sadly, not everyone is so advanced. Texas hands out a measly 180-day jail sentence for a husband-induced abortion. Parents are dealt the swift hand of justice on behalf of their children's deadly choices, and a 12-year-old boy is failed by counselors at a North Carolina therapy camp. Heavy. On the lighter side, fire demons appear in Chile, ghosts of grandmas past appear in nurseries and Rachel Dolezal is grifting on Only Fans. Saved the scariest for last. There's all that and more in this week's news update. Happy Haunting!

On July 17, 1980, electrical workers outside of Anchorage uncovered the badly decomposed body of a woman buried in a shallow grave. She became known as Eklutna Annie and was the first in a series of murders to sweep across Southcentral Alaska. Sex workers started disappearing at an alarming rate. Was there a serial killer on the loose or were these vulnerable young women simply choosing to move on? As the bodies started to pile up and shell casings from a .223 rifle appeared at every crime scene, it was clear a deranged man with a lust for blood was on the loose. That man was Robert Hansen, the town baker. With a long history of arson, theft and abduction under his belt, Hansen was no stranger to darkness. His deep-seated resentment toward women resulted in a slew of gruesome murders that continue to haunt the Matanuska Valley to this day. We'll discuss Hansen's past, uncover how he was so easily able to murder so many women and memorialize the victims who tragically lost their lives to a monster. This one hits a little too close to home for Elise. It's a long walk home through the dark Alaskan night. Happy haunting!

Happy February, coven! We made it through what can only be described as the longest month of all time! And it turns out that even in February, weirdness abounds. This week we travel from possible historic wreckage on the ocean floor, to justice in the sky as the perv flight attendant finally gets criminally charged. Speaking of justice, we're happy to report on both an influencer and murderer who were held accountable this week too! We'll hear about the devil spontaneously shattering a violin, mysterious deaths in Kansas City, and some pretty compelling survey data that suggests you all want to believe (in UFOS) just as much as we do! Tune in for your weekly roundup of all things weird and wonderful.

In late August 2013, Bryce Laspisa had been exhibiting weeks of uncharacteristic and erratic behavior. Bryce was a college student in a suburb of Sacramento who was described as happy and well loved, when he suddenly began giving away belongings and sending cryptic text messages. He told his mom he desperately needed to speak with his parents about something important, got in his car, and started driving south towards his parents' home. Tragically, Bryce would never make it home, but instead would leave behind a strange trail of mysteries that still baffles investigators over a decade later. This week, we cover what we know of Bryce's road trip south and his strange disappearance. You'll hear our hot takes on web sleuths as we discuss some outlandish reddit theories, and try our best to crack this perplexing case!

It's happening, Coven. Aliens are finally making their presence known - or at least that's how it seems in this latest news update! We've got UFO sightings, alien shadows and panels blowing off airplanes. Just kidding - that one was totally a human error, and we're all the more terrified because of it. This week, we're talking about proof of the afterlife, violent offenders using Spiderman tactics to attack judges and bear sightings in India and Halee's backyard. Best of all, we'll take a walk down memory lane to revisit our very own Desperate Housewives moment with the mailman. Happy Haunting!

In 2015, Gypsy Rose Blanchard had reached her breaking point. She’d spent the last 24 years under the thumb of her mother Dee Dee, taking countless medications she was told would heal her. And her ailments were many : muscular dystrophy, leukemia, mental incompetency and more all plagued Gypsy from a young age. Or did they? A victim of Munchausen by Proxy, Gypsy was forced to ride in a wheelchair when she could walk just fine, had her salivary glands removed for no reason at all and had a feeding tube surgically inserted for a supposed “fear of eating,” all at the hands of her mother. Attempts to run away failed her, until only the most extreme scenario provided escape - kill Dee Dee. This week, we’ll expose the abuse that brought Gypsy face to face with a life or death decision, the aftermath of her choices and the life she’s trying to lead now. Sometimes, mother doesn’t always know best. Happy Haunting!

Happy New Year, coven! Though the year may be new, the world continues to be very much the same and the news is as weird as ever. This week's episode takes us all over the world, from a British psychic using asparagus to predict the future, to a possible goblin sighting in Argentina. Not to be outdone by a goblin, bigfoot makes an appearance in Virginia... or does he? We talk about a woman who has erotic feelings for an oak tree- but don't worry guys, it's not sexual! We find out that strange men on the internet have very sinister intentions. And we enjoy the sweet sweet justice of a judge holding an abusive fast food customer accountable. All that and more on our first news wrap up of the new year.

Strap yourselves in, coven. We're about to bring you the closest thing to proof of a bonafide UFO sighting- short of being zapped up and probed, of course! This week we're covering the Stephenville Lights, a series of UFO sightings that happened over Texas dairy county in 2008. Over the course of a number of days, dozens of folks reported seeing strange lights and crafts in the sky. The subsequent investigation revealed some pretty tangible and compelling proof of something strange overhead. Today we also learn all about MUFON (The Mutual UFO Network, obviously) and meet MUFON's top research guy, who is obviously Halee's newest celeb crush.... goodbye, Joe Nickell. You've been replaced! You know we want to believe, but this one just might have you believing too!

Happy Friday, Coven! It was a strange week in the world and a strange week for news. From a vanishing bride, to a man transcending dimensions, to tornados lifting babies into trees, this episode runs the gamut in weirdness. We have true crime updates, including the abusive mormon mommy blogger entering a plea deal, and criminal charges for the douchey wannabe influencer who allegedly killed his wife and her parents. Some things never change as everyone's favorite daytime TV host Maury Povich is back to his old antics (but this time in a cute way?) and the government is once again trying to hide the truth about DB Cooper. Amidst all this cosmic weirdness we also found reasons to celebrate- bigfoot has finally been caught on camera, and twilight is getting a reboot! Tune in to hear all of this and more on this week's episode of all things odd and fascinating in the news!

Greetings, love beings! Your time to ascend has arrived. At least, that’s what Mother God would have you believe. Her real name was Amy Carlson, and her life’s work was dreaming up the infamous cult Love Has Won and convincing folks to follow her. (The only cult we’d follow is the cult of Ryan Gosling, but it seems not everyone is as discerning.) Amy believed she’d been reincarnated 574 times and was, in fact, Jesus Christ. She said celebrities like Robin Williams were a part of a “Galactic A Team” helping guide her into a 5D world. It was her job to bring 144,000 souls with her. Unfortunately, alcohol, drugs and one too many doses of colloidal silver made Amy bitter and angry, and the macho meth head she called “Father God” didn’t help matters. At the end of her days, Amy was a blue, lifeless skeleton. But was her mission successful? And did Robin Williams beam her up in his UFO? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Happy Haunting!

There's some turbulence in the skies this week, Coven. An unexpected emergency has turned the world upside down and taken the podcast with it. Your two favorite witches are down to one and she's trying to her damndest to make the news interesting all on her own. We'll talk about another bear attack, bring you up to speed on that pedophile from American Airlines and uncover the not-so-shocking truth about the CIA's involvement with UFOs. It's not the same without Halee, but distance makes the heart grow fonder. She'll be back on her broomstick in no time, dazzling us with her devilish charm and wit. Until then, Lisey's gonna try to do the business. Happy Haunting!
