TRIGGER WARNING: This week's episode contains conversation about child torture and murder.
Welcome to the Unexplained Archives and Happy Thanksgiving (U.S.)! A family torn apart, a ritual gone wrong, and a chilling question at the center of it all: what really happened inside the Barreca home in Altavilla Milicia? This week on the podcast, we dive into the disturbing case of Giovanni Barreca, his wife, and their three children — a tragedy wrapped in claims of exorcism, manipulation, and a spiral into obsession.
Jaime also talks about her brush with the paranormal, Jen shares another past life regression session, and they both need to take down their Halloween decorations.
