  • Linda Hazzard billed herself as a "fasting specialist" despite no formal medical degree and little training. She believed that all diseases came from food, and starving was the only cure. She opened her “sanitarium” in Olalla, Washington in the early 1900s, calling it Wilderness Heights. But residents of the small town called it "Starvation Heights" because of the countless patients who went to see Hazzard... and vanished. Both figuratively and literally.

    This is a story of murder.... but are y'all feeling some cultiness too?? "Paging Dr. Hazzard"! Did they only say that on Gray's Anatomy? Were they ever paging doctors? When did they stop?? That's not what this episode is about. AHDH!

  • Ash and Fallon wrap up "Psychotic Psychology" and the insane story of Project MKUltra.

    During the early Cold War and Korean Wars, in the late '40s and early '50s, the CIA became a super paranoid and obsessed spy agency, working on the notion that communists might have perfected some kind of a drug or technique that could control the human mind. Project MKUltra lasted through the '50s and '60s (at least that's what they want us to think) and killed many people and destroyed countless lives.

    Wait... the CIA is shady AF? Yep, and you probably didn't know just how unscrupulous until now.

  • The Troubled Teen Industry is finally getting the exposure that it deserves! Ash and Fallon break down the third episode, and there's some good news at the end of this one!

    Omg y'all finally someone said it besides me... every freaking time!


    The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping: "Years after being sent to a disciplinary school, a woman who is haunted by her experiences decides to expose the corruption and abuse of the troubled teen industry." - Netflix

    TW: child abuse of every kind.

  • TW: This week we discuss the brutal murder and torture of enslaved persons in the U.S. in the 1800s. Upon further research (unfortunately after the recording of the episode), Ash found that "slave" is no longer a politically correct term, but it IS used throughout the episode. If that word or the subject matter is particularly upsetting to you, you might want to skip this one.

    Happy Black History Month! This definitely isn't a happy story, but this history is very important. This week we travel back to 2021 (and then the 1800s), where Ash, former co-host Cameron Dexter and former audio engineer Evette Darensbourg discuss infamous socialite and serial torturer and murderer of enslaved people, Delphine LaLaurie.

    You may know who today's story is about if you're a fan of American Horror Story, and especially if you watched Season 3, Coven! Ash takes you back to the Deep South of the 1800s. The slave trade was booming and the brutal mistreatment of enslaved people was rampant. It was common for slave owners to treat their enslaved people particularly savagely for fear of uprising. But one woman in particular took that practice to a whole new level of depravity. Madame LaLaurie was a socialite and central figure in New Orleans high society, but rumors had long circulated about her treatment of her enslaved people. When a fire broke out at 1140 Royal Street on April 10, 1834, first responders found a 70 year old woman chained to the stove by her ankle, with a deep wound in her head, and people would soon find out the extent to which she tortured, and inevitably murdered, many of her enslaved people.

    The Milgram experiment is one of the most famous and controversial psychological experiments on obedience and has had a lasting effect on understanding “obedience, authority, and human behavior” as well as group dynamics.

  • Note: This episode was recorded a couple of months ago!

    Two weeks ago, on Saturday February 3, 2024, a 12 year old boy was found dead by authorities, naked from the waist down, at Trails Carolina, a "wilderness therapy" camp in North Carolina.

    This happened just 5 1/2 weeks after the release of Hell Camp: Teen Nightmare, a Netflix documentary that reached the top ten, detailing the start of the "therapeutic wilderness camp" industry.

    "Out-of-control teens across America were sent to a therapy camp in the harsh Utah desert. The conditions were brutal, but the staff were even worse." - Netflix

  • Skidmore, Missouri... the town that got away with murder. After decades of Ken "Rex" McElroy tormenting everyone in the small town of Skidmore, with no assistance from law enforcement, a few of the townspeople decided to take matters into their own hands. They got on some vigilante sh!t and shot ol' Ken in broad daylight in front of at least 45 people... but apparently, no one "actually saw" what happened and Ken's murder is unsolved to this day.

  • It's not a Listenersode, it's just an episode... but really it's our first annual TSFU V-Day Horrorsode! Here's a throwback from V-day 2022, with former co-host Cameron Dexter. Enjoy!


    Hey gang and Happy belated Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day or Masturbation Day! We hope you were getting showered with affection... or burning down capitalistic buildings, and just generally enjoying that special Hallmark holiday yesterday. This week we have a special twist on a normal Listenersode, today we have dating horror stories from listeners like you!


    Ash and Cam read stories from Kristine, who met a potential cult leader on a dating app, an anonymous listener who was stalked by a terrifying Todd in college and another anonymous listener whose co-worker was murdered by his step-son. Love kills y'all!

    Netflix's new true crime docuseries is worth the watch and has a very important message. Stop treating victims as suspects.

    In this episode, Ash is again joined by friend of the podcast Chauntee Pitts, this time Ash summarizes the third episode of "American Nightmare". Ash and Chauntee also discuss stuff that the doc left out, answers to questions left unrevealed and some theories that we believe definitely hold some weight!

  • Chowchilla was the largest ever kidnapping in United States History. It happened in a small town where no one would have expected it, during a summer day in 1976. What this is famous for is not just the kidnapping but on how it has impacted how people view victims, especially child victims, of childhood trauma and how they are treated.

    In this episode, Fallon summarizes the latest true crime hit on MAX, Chowchilla, and also tells us info not given in the doc!
