This week on Grim Curriculum, we're taking a brief break from our Night Stalker series for another installment of Grim Encounters.
These episodes are some of our favourites because the stories come directly from you. From unexplained experiences and strange coincidences to encounters that still leave people questioning what they witnessed, today's episode is filled with tales that are eerie, intriguing, and impossible to forget.
And for the first time ever, we've received a listener-submitted cryptid encounter. We could not be more excited to share it with you.
Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, we invite you to settle in and hear the experiences shared by fellow listeners. Some may have logical explanations. Others are a little harder to dismiss.

The walls are starting to close in on Richard in episode 5. As Ramirez continues his reign of terror across Los Angeles, the evidence against him continues to grow, and the mistakes he leaves behind become harder and harder to ignore. Feeling the pressure from the increasing attention surrounding his crimes, Richard briefly leaves Los Angeles for what could be described as a "vacation" in San Francisco. Ramirez has no interest in stopping, even when it would be in his best interests to law low and his violence follows him wherever he goes. Despite a series of devastating setbacks that could have derailed the investigation entirely, detectives are working harder than ever to catch the Nightstalker. For all of his unpredictability and brutality, Richard Ramirez is not nearly as invisible as he believes himself to be. Investigators are beginning to connect the dots, and for the first time, they have something they desperately needed: a name. And the public now had his face.

This week on Grim Curriculum: Extra Credit, Dina is doing most of the heavy lifting while Charlotte recovers from her trip to Vancouver (she sunburned her forehead), but don't worry, we've still got a wonderfully strange collection of stories for you.
First up is a tale involving Tom Selleck... kind of. Not really. What starts out sounding amusing quickly becomes something much more tragic, serving as a reminder that scams can have devastating consequences. Next, we have a story about a dog left in a parked car. Before you jump to conclusions, this one doesn't go where you think it will. Let's just say there is some unfortunate friendly fire courtesy of man's best friend. Continuing our apparent theme of subverting expectations, we cover the theft of thousands of dollars worth of an item that most people would never expect to become the target of a major burglary. And of course, we wrap things up with this week's Strange and Unusual Death, a story so baffling and uncomfortable that you may find yourself grasping your head and not just in disbelief.

Picking up where we left off, the city of Los Angeles remains gripped by fear as Ramirez continues his campaign of terror. Despite the growing media attention and mounting pressure from law enforcement, he has no intention of stopping. If anything, he is becoming more brazen, more violent, and more determined to escalate.
But while Richard Ramirez may have viewed himself as untouchable, in his mind he was blessed by Satan, investigators were steadily closing the gap. Though his crimes often appeared random and chaotic, the evidence he left behind was beginning to tell a story, and detectives knew far more than they were willing to reveal. In this episode, we follow the next chapter of Ramirez's rampage and the increasingly desperate race to identify and stop the man behind the Night Stalker murders.

This week, we continue our deep dive into Richard Ramirez with Part Three of our Night Stalker series, which may be one of the longest series we’ve ever covered on the podcast. There’s so much history, psychology, investigative work, and social context wrapped up in the Night Stalker case that we felt rushing it would almost do it a disservice.
As Ramirez continues his violent rampage through Los Angeles, the attacks grow increasingly chaotic and brazen. He knows he does not want to stop, but with each new crime, investigators are getting closer. Homicide detectives Gil Carrillo and Frank Salerno are beginning to piece together the horrifying pattern unfolding across the city. And Richard is making mistakes. This episode is another difficult one, containing discussion of graphic violence, assault, and deeply disturbing crimes. Please listen at your discretion. As we move toward Rank Richard's eventual capture and trial in the episodes ahead, we also want to keep the focus where it belongs, on the many people whose lives were forever changed by his actions.

This week on Extra Credit, Dina brings a pile of updates, including the latest frustrating developments in the Alex Murdaugh case. We also talk about convicted family annihilator Scott Peterson and why the Innocence Project wasn't able to free him from prison. We wrap things up as per usual with a truly unfortunate case of “F around and find out” involving wildlife, specifically one extremely angry beaver.

We continue our series on Richard Ramirez with Part Two, the chapter where Richard Ramirez fully evolves into the man who would become known as the “Night Stalker.” Now in Los Angeles, Ramirez descends further into addiction, violence, and chaos. His drug use spirals out of control, burglaries become routine, and he discovers what he views as the ultimate thrill, murder. As the attacks escalate in brutality and frequency, law enforcement begins to recognize that something far more sinister is unfolding across the city. Fear spreads, investigators scramble for answers, and the hunt for the Night Stalker begins.
This episode contains particularly disturbing material and we want to issue a strong content warning.

This week on Grim Curriculum, we begin our 200th episode series on one of the most infamous serial killers in American history, Richard Ramirez, better known as the “Night Stalker.”
In Part One, we trace Ramirez’s early life, his family history, and the deeply disturbing environment that shaped his formative years before his move to Los Angeles at just 18 years old. Even at this stage of the story, the warning signs are staggering. Violence, trauma, abuse, and dangerous influences surrounded Ramirez from an early age, raising difficult questions about nature, nurture, and how monsters are made. While there is no excuse for the horrors Richard Ramirez would later commit, this episode examines the circumstances that may have helped create the man he became. Was he born evil, or was he shaped into it by the people and experiences around him?
We want to hear your thoughts.

This week on Extra Credit, we’ve got a lineup of cases that just so happen to share one common thread, women, for better or for worse.
Dina brings three shorter stories to the table, while Charlotte delivers a longer history lesson, each case offering its own mix of chaos and consequences. Totally unplanned, but somehow perfectly aligned. And don’t worry, Dina didn’t forget to include a Florida Woman story.
Our strange and unusual death this week is the only one that doesn’t centre a woman, but let’s just say… it’s a classic case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

This week we are stepping inside some of the most notorious asylums of the past, places where those deemed “unwell” were hidden away, often forgotten, and too often mistreated. Institutions like Philadelphia State Hospital, Danvers State Hospital, and Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum were meant to provide care, but behind their walls, overcrowding, neglect, and harmful “treatments” became the reality for many patients.
We also examine the work of Nellie Bly, who risked her own safety by having herself committed to expose the conditions inside these institutions, bringing the public face to face with what was happening out of sight. These were not just places of treatment, but places of control, where fear, misunderstanding, and authority often dictated who was confined and how they were treated.
In episode 199, we confront the human cost of these institutions, the stories that emerged from within them, and the systems that allowed such suffering to continue unchecked.

This week on The Grim Curriculum, we step into one of the internet age’s most bizarre and unsettling fringe groups: the Love Has Won cult, led by Amy Carlson.
What began as a spiritual movement quickly spiralled into something far stranger, blending New Age beliefs, online devotion, and increasingly extreme behaviour. Followers believed Carlson to be a divine being, a figure they called “Mother God”, and their dedication led them down a path that blurred the line between faith and control.
At the centre of it all is a striking contradiction: Carlson, who was revered as “Mother” by her followers, had previously left behind her own husband and three children in pursuit of this new identity, a reality that adds another unsettling layer to the story.
In this episode, we break down the rise of Love Has Won, the inner workings of the group, and the disturbing reality behind its public image. From livestreams and loyal followers to the shocking events that ultimately drew widespread attention, this is a story that feels as surreal as it is deeply unsettling.

Charlotte starts us off with an update in the Gerhardt Konig case, while Dina brings the latest from the Long Island Serial Killer investigation. Charlotte then shares some shocking old news from 2011 involving the actor behind McGruff the Crime Dog, proving that even the voices behind familiar faces can have a darker side. Dina follows with a truly horrifying home invasion story that feels like something straight out of a nightmare. Thankfully, Charlotte lightens things up with the tale of a flamboyant Florida gangster and fire chief whose disappearance remains unsolved to this day. Dina brings us right back into chaos with another Florida story, this time involving a surgeon who is in serious trouble after removing the wrong organ. Charlotte’s final story takes us back to 1946 with the Battle of Athens, a rare example of ordinary people standing up against corruption and winning. And of course, we wrap things up with this week’s Strange and Unusual Death. This one is as gruesome as it is cautionary, and might be one of the most memorable arguments against driving under the influence we’ve ever heard.

Known for a trail of deception, violence, and suspicion that followed her across multiple states, Halliday was married multiple times, with several of her husbands dying under suspicious circumstances. At a time when female offenders were often underestimated or overlooked, her case stood out in a way few others did. She was a woman often described as one of the most dangerous in American history, she would go on to become the first woman in the United States sentenced to death by the electric chair, a decision that shocked the public and had the newspapers foaming at the mouth.

This week on Extra Credit we’re covering a mix of long awaited updates, ongoing trials, and stories that are as bizarre as they are unsettling.
Dina starts us off with an update on a long unsolved case linked to Ted Bundy. While we never enjoy talking about him, we are glad to share that another victim’s family has finally received some long overdue closure.
Charlotte follows up with a recent case out of Hawaii involving a doctor accused of attempting to murder his wife in what some are calling an “alpine divorce” style case. The trial is ongoing and the details are as disturbing as they are complex.
Dina then brings a truly bizarre murder case, and honestly, it is one you’re going to have to hear to believe.
Charlotte shifts gears slightly with a medical case tied to World War history that will have you asking one very specific question: what won’t someone stick where the sun doesn’t shine?
We also touch on the latest developments involving the Duggar family, a name long time listeners will remember from the early days of The Grim Curriculum.
As always, we wrap things up with a Strange and Unusual Death, and this week’s is no exception.

This week on The Grim Curriculum, we step away from the history books and into something a little more immediate, and a lot more unsettling. Drawing from Reddit’s “Let’s Not Meet” community, we explore a collection of real-life encounters that came far too close for comfort. These are moments where ordinary people found themselves face to face with something deeply wrong, situations that could have ended very differently with just one small change. From eerie gut feelings to narrow escapes, each story carries that lingering question: how close can you get to danger before you even realise you are in it?
Featuring stories shared by Reddit users florianizer, SweatyEV, Banluil, ba_ko-s, and puddingtree, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the most chilling stories are the ones that almost happened.

After escaping from custody, Legere unleashed a wave of violence that sent shockwaves through Miramichi and surrounding communities.
Fear took hold quickly. Residents locked their doors, routines changed overnight, and at the height of the panic, Halloween celebrations were even cancelled as the community grappled with the very real threat he posed.
Despite being physically strong, Legere repeatedly targeted vulnerable individuals. Senior citizens, isolated residents, and even members of the clergy were not safe from his attacks, adding another layer of fear and outrage to an already shaken community.
In this episode, we examine the rampage, the response from law enforcement, and the atmosphere of terror that defined this chapter of the case, finally ending with his capture and final prison sentence.

Dina kicks things off with a case out of Utah involving Kouri Richins, who has now been sentenced. While the list of charges is extensive, we can’t help but feel like audacity should be included as well.
Charlotte then takes us into conspiracy territory with the Phantom Time Conspiracy, a theory that raises eyebrows, asks questions, and ultimately makes very little sense, but still manages to make you go “hmmm.”
Dina keeps things a little lighter with a recent story involving a slow moving, scaly reptile that somehow led to what might be the world’s slowest police chase.
Charlotte brings us back to Canada with one of the country’s oldest unsolved mysteries, Jerome of Sandy Cove, a case that continues to puzzle people to this day.
As always, we wrap things up with a Strange and Unusual Death. This week’s story involves another influencer, and while we won’t spoil anything, it’s safe to say this is not a way anyone would expect to go.

This week on Grim Curriculum, we are beginning our deep dive into the life and crimes of Canadian serial killer Allan Legere, the man known as the “Monster of the Miramichi.” In Part One, we start at the beginning, tracing Legere’s early life in Miramichi, where the warning signs were already present. What unfolds is a story that grows darker with time, as troubling behaviour escalates quickly into something way more disturbing. This was a case we knew very little about until Legere’s recent death in March 2026, and what we uncovered was far worse than we expected. This is a case that would go on to shock an entire region and leave a lasting mark on Canadian criminal history.

On the morning of December 6, 1917, a collision in the harbour of Halifax triggered a chain of events that would end in catastrophe. When the munitions ship SS Mont-Blanc exploded, the blast devastated the city and created one of the largest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded. In this episode, we unpack the moments leading up to the disaster, the shocking aftermath, and the incredible acts of bravery and selflessness that emerged from the chaos. It’s a story of tragedy, resilience, and the people who rose to meet one of Canada’s darkest days.

Dina starts things off with a quick update on the case of the eleven year old boy who recently shot his father following an argument about a Nintendo Switch. She then follows it up with another tragic story out of Tipp City, Ohio, where a former worship leader and previous American Idol hopeful has been charged in the murder of his wife. To break up the heavier stories, Charlotte brings a few true crime cases that are strange enough they might actually have you giggling. Dina then brings things back into gruesome territory with a story involving an inmate who has inflicted some very serious injuries on himself, yet has still been deemed mentally fit to stand trial. Next up is a case involving an UNO game that got completely out of hand. And we mean way out of hand. As always, we wrap up Extra Credit with the latest entry in Dina’s Strange and Unusual Death.
