Well, it's been a hot minute, but we're back! Life got pretty crazy and hectic for the last 6 months and we had to take a longer break than anticipated. From broken collarbones to moving, to weddings and jobs changes, we didn't get nearly all the progress made that we wanted but we are thrilled to finally be back and settling into a (hopefully) less hectic schedule.
For our Halloween premiere, Anastasia is opening with a tale that'll have you double checking your locks and windows tonight...
This case is the one that is described as "ending the age of innocence" in the United States. Most people are unaware of this case, but it is one of the first random mass murders in the 20 century here, and became the reason why many began locking their doors at night. Enter one dark and dreary night, a man by the name of Richard Speck and the 8 nurses who Fortune turned her face from...and the 2 that she favored.
Join us as we enter the history of a quiet townhouse filled with nurses that would soon be filled with horror...

Welcome back for our season finale!
Anastasia is covering our final episode before we take some time off to work on Season Two, merch ideas, and more! We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has made our first year such a success- we're truly blown away by it all! Tune back in for Season Two starting up in October!
But first, story time! Blake actually dug this one up from reddit- the kidnapping and murder of Mary Catherine Olenchuk. The case is the oldest cold case in the state of Maine, and certainly one of the more baffling. With no apparent motive, the case immediately hit a brick wall and has stayed that way ever since...for over 50 years. Listen in and let us know your theories!

Welcome back for another week of horror! Anastasia's going to be glad she's sitting this one out while she moves...Loren's guest feature is Rory- back again for another story that will horrify and enthrall. This week's feature? Oleg Sokolov, the Russian Napoleonic historian, re-enactor, Docent of History, and (now being withdrawn) recipient of The Legion of Honor (Chevalier)...and convicted murderer of Anastasia Yeshchenko.
In November 2019, Oleg was found in the Moyka River in St Petersburg with a backpack containing a pair of human arms and a weapon. Oleg claims he was going to get rid of the body before publicly committing suicide dressed as Napoleon. Join us this week for the full details of this strange case!

A type of Fae from Irish lore, this being appears as a person riding upon a black horse with no head on their shoulders. They carry their missing head under their arm, raising it up to search for souls to take.Now, you're probably thinking, "Hey! That sounds like the Headless Horseman!" and you'd be right! There are many popular retellings of this Fae throughout the world, from Sleepy Hollow, to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. If you have a favorite Dullahan type story, feel free to drop us a line!

Loren's Horrifying Song Reference
-
Bonus background puppy jingles.
Welcome back creeper peepers! Loren is up this week with a truly horrifying story. On October 25, 1994, Susan Smith reported that she was carjacked in South Carolina by an unknown man at a traffic stop. He took her two small children in the backseat of her car and drove off.
To the public, Susan was a distraught mother, making pleas for their safe return through the media outlets, alongside her ex-husband David. Both Susan and David had multiple affairs during their on-and-off relationship, and used their young children as pawns throughout their troubled marriage. To his credit, David did seem like he was a devoted father who genuinely loved his two children. Susan however...well, that's a different story.
As you might suspect, the truth behind the whole ordeal was darker than what met the eye and the story that unfolded will probably horrify and infuriate you as much as it did us.Wait to Panic is a weekly podcast where two longtime friends take turns sharing stories that just might make your skin crawl.

Have you ever felt an unexplained cold draft in your home? The answer may be something innocent, or it could be a scenario straight from our nightmares....
Join us this week as Anastasia tells us the sad story of Ruthie Mae McCoy- the woman whose death lent inspiration to the 1992 horror horror film Candyman.
Ruthie McCoy was so close to leaving the Chicago housing developments and starting a new, more hope-filled life for herself. Life was finally looking up- she had been approved for SSI, she was undergoing treatment for mental health, and she was finally able to start dreaming of leaving the dangerous Grace Abbott Homes with her new windfall from SSI. Unfortunately for Ruthie, watchful eyes were everywhere and they noticed the little things that had changed over a few months, and criminal minds began to wonder...

DO NOT BE ALARMED. YOU ARE SAFE.
These were the haunting words that began the survival instructions left for Barbara Mackle. But we're getting ahead of ourselves...
Today, we end back at the very beginning of it all, with the first woman added to the notorious list-Ruth Eisemann-Schier- Fugitive #293.
Ruth was a graduate of the National University of Mexico before she was accepted to the graduate program at the University of Miami's Institute of Marine Science. The daughter of Austrian-Jewish refugees who had fled to Honduras, Ruth had a seemingly bright future.
There at the University of Miami, Ruth would meet Gary Steven Krist.
Gary started his life of crime young, at only age nine. After being arrested for attempted car theft in 1968 at age 18, Gary realized he needed a better way to make money than petty crime. As he sat in jail, he planned the perfect scheme: to locate and abduct a young heiress. He worked out issues like how to communicate with her family and where to hide her while waiting for the money, and concluded that burial underground would be the perfect solution.Wait to Panic is a weekly podcast where two longtime friends take turns sharing stories that just might make your skin crawl.

Trigger warning@ 41:45 phone message
Break-ins, threatening phone calls, arson, and physical assaults. Moving and changing names didn't help. Physical security measures failed. For nearly 7 years, Cindy James was stalked, harassed, and assaulted by an unknown person. Police couldn't -or perhaps, wouldn't- help her, a private investigator tried his best, but none could keep her safe.
Cindy suspected that the truth was closer to home than anyone expected. But no one could be 100% certain.
Who had it out for this vibrant and caring nurse, and why?
Join us this week as Anastasis covers the unsolved case of Cindy James, a nurse from Vancouver, British Columbia. To date, this case is unsolved and her family and friends, as well as Ozzie Kaban -her private investigator- firmly believe that her killer walks freely among us.

Join us as Loren continues her FBI's Most Wanted Women Series this week- guest starring Rory!
This week features Katherine Power, Susan Saxe, and Angela Davis.
Katherine Power- Fugitive #315. Born January 25, 1949 as the third of seven children, Katherine was raised in a Irish Catholic family in Denver, Colorado. Katherine went on to earn a full scholarship to Brandeis University, where she met her roommate- and future accomplice- Susan Edith Saxe.
Susan Saxe- Fugitive #316. Born January 18, 1949, Susan is Katherine's elder by 7 days. Self described as a "lifelong radical activist," Susan met Katherine at Brandeis University. The two organized protests with the National Student Strike Force, where they met Stanley Ray Bond. Stanley was enrolled in Brandeis through a government sponsored program. Katherine and Susan were swept into a plot to arm the Black Panthers and it wasn't long before they found themselves involved in an armed robbery and they went on the run.
Angela Davis- Fugitive #309. Born January 26, 1944 in the Dynamite Hill neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama. Angela was one of four children and was surrounded by communists throughout her developmental years. She went on to attend Brandeis University on scholarship and was highly intelligent. So how did this highly educated political activist wind up on the FBI's Most Wanted? How could the treatment these women receive be so wildly different?
Tune in to hear these women's stories!

Welcome back, spooksters!
This week, Anastasia is bringing you the hair raising tale of one of the best documented cases of exorcism on US soil. Exorcism is something that has long fascinated people the world over and the mystery of the unknown still surrounds much of these rites and rituals. In the Christian church, priests are instructed to carefully determine that the nature of the affliction is not actually a psychological or physical illness before proceeding with the Rites.
Enter Emma Schmidt, pseudonym Anna Ecklund, a young woman with a troubled upbringing and a firm faith in her religion. Raised by a truly monstrous father, Emma turned to the only place and people who had ever brought her comfort- her local parish. Mocked by her father for her beliefs, Emma buried herself in her local religious community as much as she could, but as she entered her teenage years, she found little comfort within those sacred walls.Emma became repulsed by the holy and blessed objects, thoughts of horrendous violence filled her head, and it wasn't long before she was unable to enter the church at all. After unsuccessful attempts by both doctors and her religious counsel to help, an exorcist was requested.
On June 18, 1912, Emma underwent an exorcism by Father Theophilus Riesinger, a Capuchin priest from Bavaria. The Rites were initially considered a success, but Emma's story had just begun...
Tune in for the chilling details and excerpts of America's best documented case of demonic possession!

Join us as Loren continues her FBI's Most Wanted Women Series this week!
This week features Shauntay Henderson- Fugitive #486.
Shauntay was arrested on March 31, 2007 after being on the FBI's list for less than 24 hours. On September 2, 2006, Henderson shot and killed DeAndre Parker at a gas station in Kansas City, Missouri. Henderson claimed Parker was trying to run her over with his truck. A reputed gang leader, she was tracked down the same day she was listed, and convicted on charges of voluntary manslaughter. How did this woman- raised by a strong and proudly independent grandmother- become part of Kansas' underground?
It's a strange and baffling story that we still haven't sorted out or feelings on... Stay tuned for more!

Are you brave enough to spend some time in a town that laid claim to the title "The Most Haunted Village In Britain" in the Guinness Book Of World Records?
Boasting a roster of anywhere between twelve to fifteen ghosts, if not more, the village of Pluckley in Kent, England, won this title in 1989. While this category is now considered "resting" or no longer in use, it still earns this village a fair amount of curious visitors.
From knocking heard in the church's family vault to grisly re-enactments of a highwayman's final stand, the ghosts of Pluckley are anything but boring.
Join us this week as Anastasia takes us all on a walking tour through the village to meet all of our otherworldly guests!

Join us as we start 2021 with a series by Loren! Grab a chair and get comfy because for the next few months, Loren will be covering some dangerously fascinating women.
Of this lengthy list, there is a rather surprisingly small number of women. Over the next few months, Loren will be going backwards from current day until she reaches the original- Ruth Eisemann-Schier- in 1968.But before we get to Ruth, we have to start in current times.
On April 6, 2016, Brenda Delgado was added to the list for the orchestration and execution of a murder-for-hire scheme. A jilted (in her mind) former flame, Brenda was out for revenge against her twice ex-boyfriend's new love, Kendra Hatcher- a pediatric dentist in Dallas, Texas.
Brenda Delgado is the 506th person to have been added to the list and only the 9th woman to have made the dangerous cut.
The FBI has had a "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list since March 14, 1950, when a reporter for the International News Service (now the United Press International) asked the FBI for names and descriptions of the "toughest guys" the Bureau would like to capture.
What no one could have anticipated was the publicity that such a list would create. The list generated so much interest that the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover implemented the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" program.
This program is designed to publicize particularly dangerous fugitives who might not otherwise merit nationwide attention. The FBI recognizes the need for public assistance in tracking fugitives and since its inception, 162 of the “Ten Most Wanted Fugitive” apprehensions have been the result of citizen recognition of publicity from this program.Stay tuned for more!

We're back to our normal horror filled schedule this week and Blake is joining Anastasia as a guest for this one! In Texas, there's a little town that hugs the line between Texas and Arkansas. Nicknamed "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" for a string of unsolved murders, the small town of Texarkana stars in our story. (And also a horror film by the same name) In 1946, a sadistic killer wearing a white mask/sack terrorized the small town of Texarkana at night. Claiming 5 of his 8 victims, this small town lived in terror for 10 long weeks. Police patrolled the "lover's lanes" and began a manhunt for the killer. Now, 70 years later, the case is still the number one unsolved case in Texas.

An architectural curiosity, this mansion holds as many secrets as it does marvels. Once a modest unfinished farmhouse in Santa Clara Valley, it quickly transformed into something else entirely. Home to Sarah Winchester-- the widow of firearm magnate, William Wirt Winchester-- this 4 story home consists of a staggering 161 rooms, 40 bedrooms, 2 ballrooms (1 finished, 1 unfinished), 47 fireplaces, 17 chimney's, 2 basements, 3 elevators, and over 10,000 panes of glass.
After the unfortunate deaths of her infant daughter and husband, Sarah turned to the occult. Consulting a Boston medium, she was told that the only way to appease the spirits of those killed by the Winchester's rifles, was to move West and build continuously build a house.
So, Sarah did just that. Fabulously wealthy, she was able to hire carpenters to work on her mansion, the sound of construction filling the house day and night, even as she filled it with oddities of her own. For decades, this trend continued. Then, on the announcement of her passing, everything fell silent.
Join us as Loren takes us through this strange and fascinating mansion and the woman who started it all. And, if you're feeling the urge, click the link below to take a virtual tour!

Join us this week as we head to Norfolk, England with Anastasia! We're spending the night in the famous Raynham Hall. For over 400 years this regal estate has been the seat of the Townshend family. And, like many centuries old buildings, it has quite the reputation.
From stately landscaping and architecture ahead of its time, Raynham has also provided one of the most famous photographic captures of an earth bound spirit- The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall.
Rumored to be Lady Dorothy Walpole, the sister of Robert Walpole and wife of Lord Charles Townshend, the Brown Lady has wandered the halls for nearly 200 years. A loveless marriage turned dark when her jealous husband found out about her past romances and staged her funeral, all the while keeping her as prisoner in their home.
Since her death, Dorothy has haunted the halls as she did during her final year and has provided amusing (to us) hauntings and spookings to those who have dared stay the night. Some have claimed the infamous photograph to be a fake, but regardless, Dorothy's tale makes for a spine-tingling ghost story!
