Over and over again we find ourselves bringing you the latest news on three of the most important contemporary topics: Bigfoot, AI, and creepy clowns. This week is no exception as we discuss a compelling sasquatch sighting, all the shitty things AI did this week, and yet another case of a strange clown making people uncomfortable. We'll also talk about a possible New England serial killer...2025-05-231h 12Easy Bake CovenEpisode 159: Ghosts Can't Hear You If You WhisperSend us a textWhat a whirlwind this week, folks! We may be entering our EBC Lite era, but this latest news update is anything but! We're living vicariously through scientists uncovering the new color olo, we're getting updates about the other Don in our lives (who's also a clown, literally) and we're getting hung up on news from Rome. (Hint, it's not about the Pope.) We'll learn about the time Halee met Justin Bieber as a grown adult woman, how Elise gets sucked into pop culture Reddit threads, and despite warnings from the "Godfather of AI,"...2025-05-091h 07Easy Bake CovenEpisode 139: Mass UFO SightingsSend us a textThroughout the entirety of this podcast, we've heard this question over and over: "If UFOs are real, why haven't more people seen them?" It's a valid question, and yet the more we learn about extraterrestrial activity, the more we realize that people have been seeing them! And sometimes even on a massive scale. This week we'll learn about two such examples, where dozens and even hundreds of folks saw the same thing around the same place and time. First, we'll travel to Western Massachusetts in 1969, where a hot September evening saw inexplicable lights...2024-12-061h 41Easy Bake CovenEpisode 136: Indigo ChildSend us a textFolks, we loved spooky season. (And around here, it's always spooky season.) But it turns out as much as we loved taking you on haunted adventures for the past month, we missed catching you up on all the weirdness going on around us too. This week is an exciting one, as Lisey FINALLY got a proper aura reading in the heart of woo woo country- Sedona, Arizona. Prepare yourselves, because it's a trip! Halee has some very strong feelings about the results of a recent election, and no, it's not the one you're...2024-11-151h 17Easy Bake CovenEpisode 133: The Haunts Behind the HorrorSend us a textScary movie night has been an integral part of Lisey and Halee’s relationship since its conception. What better way to celebrate spooky season than to bring you in on our most favorite tradition? Tonight we’ll uncover the haunting stories that inspired some of our favorite horror flicks. We’ll dig into the real life haunting that inspired Steven Spielberg’s classic, Poltergeist. We’ll knock on the door of room 217 at the Stanley Hotel, where Stephen King dreamed up his outline for The Shining. Of course, scary movie night would not be complet...2024-10-251h 44Easy Bake CovenEpisode 129: The Terror of Franklin's Failed ExpeditionSend us a textIn 1845, a crew of 134 men set out in search of the elusive Northwest Passage, hoping to find a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Armed with thousands of canned goods, gallons of lemon juice and a passion for adventure, they set forth on the HMS Terror and Erebus, ready for a taste of glory. Instead, they found themselves stuck at sea for more than three years, their ships encased in thick, unforgiving ice. When it refused to thaw in 1848, the men abandoned ship and headed out on foot in the hopes they'd...2024-09-271h 58Easy Bake CovenEpisode 128: You Just Never KnowSend us a textDearest coven, by now you've probably learned to expect the unexpected on this podcast. That lesson will serve you especially well this week, as we cover all kinds of weirdness. Halee recounts her awkward grad school dating life, there are 8 year olds driving SUVs, and the Titanic is probably haunted. You'll hear our hot takes on affirmative action, we'll talk UFOs in Mexico and China, and get back into real estate drama- we just can't stay away! That's not even an exhaustive list of everything we're bringing this week.. because friends, you just...2024-09-201h 16Easy Bake CovenEpisode 125: This One's a TangentSend us a textAs the title suggests, this episode is anything but linear. We're taking you on a roller coaster ride of tangents, all the way from Elise's opinion on Longlegs to politicians helping the homeless. Of course we'll bring you some actual news, including one theme park's ridiculous law suit and the solving of a 40-year old cold case through DNA. In an episode of true tangents, we'll also discuss how DNA gets into the hands of law enforcement and ask whether we should be giving it away so willy nilly. Happy haunting! 2024-08-301h 01Easy Bake CovenEpisode 122: Sea Monsters of the Pacific NorthwestSend us a textIt's time for another cryptid roundup, and this time we're heading to halee's homeland to learn all about two famous PNW sea monsters! First we'll talk about Cadborasaurus, a long, creepy serpent with a horse's head that has been spotted hundreds of times in the Vancouver Island area (and beyond) in the past 200 years. Is it the real deal, or the desperate imaginings of 2 quasi-scientists? Next, we'll discuss a cryptid you've heard us mention before... the infamous Ogopogo. We'll dig into the First Nations origins of the story, and learn about how much...2024-08-091h 29Easy Bake CovenEpisode 121: A Huntress With ImpunitySend us a textIt’s our first news update in what feels like forever!

We’ll hear about Halee’s latest obsession - a self-published memoir laden with conspiracy theories, gifted by a fellow islander. Elise promises a future reading from a sure-to-be classic in erotic vampire fiction, and we’ll give our opinions on the hotly debated Ballerina Farm expose. Need I say more? Happy haunting! Get in touc...2024-08-021h 11Easy Bake CovenEpisode 117: Florida, ManSend us a textThe world is just as depraved as it was last news update, folks. Maybe even more so. And it seems a lot of the depravity resides in Florida! A man killed an entire family and then burned the evidence, but not before FaceTiming a friend with everything visible on camera. A woman murdered her boyfriend by zipping him up in a suitcase as she filmed his struggle, and later claimed she just fell asleep. There may be many criminals in the Sunshine State, but they’re certainly not the brightest. Halee brings some up...2024-06-211h 08Easy Bake CovenEpisode 113: Halee Does the Business (At UFO Fest)Send us a textThis week, everyone's "good thing" is going to be that Halee went to UFO Fest and has returned to delight us with her findings. Shocker - aliens are real. Duh! We'll hear compelling firsthand accounts from military whistleblower Ryan Graves, and best of all, we'll get Jessiah's take on all things spooky. In the news, we'll hear about witches and warlocks duking it out (aka, old people being taken advantage of.) We'll learn that cheese mongers don't just specialize in cheese, but also defend themselves with it, and we'll get some pressing updates...2024-05-241h 10Easy Bake CovenEpisode 110: All About OrbsSend us a textCoven, this week is a big one for halee and Lisey. It's rare that we're wrong... and it's even more rare that we would admit that we're wrong. But this week we may just be ready to admit that we were wrong about orbs! After hearing a spooky and intriguing tale, halee took a deep dive into orbs and found that the blurry 'orb' photos we see online are truly misrepresenting this fascinating phenomenon. In today's episode we'll take a trip all around the world to hear about spooklights, will-o'-the-wisps, and all kinds...2024-05-031h 20Easy Bake CovenEpisode 109: Boner CollectorsSend us a textDo you dream of finding old bones? Have you ever thought about joining your favorite podcast on a bone hunting expedition? Does the mere thought give you a boner? Dude, same. Maybe one day. In the meantime, join us as we uncover the latest bone-chilling, ooky spooky news. Okay, enough bone puns. They're not humerus. STOP. This week we'll talk about a potential human sacrifice made to a family of sasquatch, pirate bones uncovered in the UK, the world's worst niece who brought her dead uncle to the bank and potential AI imagery us...2024-04-261h 09Easy Bake CovenEpisode 108: Jerome - Arizona's 'Wickedest' Ghost TownSend us a textWhere 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...2024-04-191h 37Easy Bake CovenEpisode 105- Sasquatch HuntersSend us a textCoven, 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. We learn about Elise’s pedo high school teacher using AI to victimize children, and we get updates on a few recent stories we’ve covered. Before things get too dark, we revisit a trusted favorite- our dearest Bigfoot. You know Elise is excited. Tune in for all that a...2024-03-291h 05Easy Bake CovenEpisode 101: Don't Be A Tosser (Of Trees)Send us a textHappy 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 w...2024-03-0156 minEasy Bake CovenEpisode 100: Without a Trace- The Disappearance of Samantha SayersSend us a textDearest 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 witnes...2024-02-231h 56Easy Bake CovenEpisode 98: Robert Hansen - The Butcher Baker of AlaskaSend us a textOn 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...2024-02-091h 33Easy Bake CovenEpisode 95: A Package from BonefieldSend us a textIt'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...2024-01-191h 15Easy Bake CovenEpisode 92: The Stephenville LightsSend us a textStrap 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...2023-12-291h 22Easy Bake CovenEpisode 89: Not Business As UsualSend us a textThere'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.

Tune in for equal parts history and mystery, and...2023-10-271h 41Easy Bake CovenEpisode 82: This One’s a HootSend us a textThere’s never a dull moment in the world of the paranormal and true crime. This week, we’ll bring the best of the worst to you and yours. Funeral homes forget where dead bodies go, clowns haunt unsuspecting Scottish countrysides and witch doctors set swarms of bees on thieves. We’ll discuss whether Bigfoot has been found once and for all, glowing UFOs that were seen in the light of day and potato shaped asteroids made of metal.

This week, Halee takes us on a tour of some of America's most haunted places. We'll start off with murder, mystery and intrigue in the south, and criss cross the country exploring haunts and ghouls. The sounds of disembodied laughter, sudden wafts of sweet perfume, and that uncomfortable feeling of someone breathing down your neck... these sensations are all too common in these eerie locales. Of course the episode wouldn't be complete without a couple tangents and a phantom...2023-09-221h 34Easy Bake CovenEpisode 75: You Can't Steal Your Neighbor's PorchSend us a textY'all, what is going on in the world?!

Desperate parents George and Jennie frantically gathered their children, but by the next morning at 7AM as the ashes of their former home laid in a heap on the ground, 5 of their 9 children remained unaccounted for. Initially, the children were declared dead and the family mourned. But in the following weeks, they started to realize that things didn't quite add up, and doubt started to spread... could it possibly be that the children were still alive? This week we...2023-07-281h 29Easy Bake CovenEpisode 69: Feed Me Cheese Crackers and Play with my HairSend us a textYikes, y'all. These past few weeks have been wild in the world of weirdness and true crime. This week we talk about justice, we talk about faked abductions (PLURAL?!), and consequently we talk a lot about cheez-its. We also withdraw our previous comments about serial killers no longer existing because this week we talk about TWO. Of course there's a little influencer bashing, UFO shenanigans, and our speculations on how halee would fare in prison. Prepare for all the insane banter you've come to expect from us, with some seriously zany current events. 2023-07-211h 09Easy Bake CovenEpisode 68: Soccer Mom Death Van: Confessions of a Body CollectorSend us a textThere's the jobs you'd never want to do, and then there's the jobs you'd REALLY never want to do but would love to know about all the gory details.

Turns out, quite a few, even within the confines of federally managed land. This week we're heading to our nation's beloved Yellowstone National Park, where bears, bison and boiling hot springs have got nothing on the dumb people who visit them. Tourists have found dumb ways to die since the park's origins, from backing off the edge of Yellowstone's Grand Canyon, to jumping through thin ground directly into burning hot springs. There are endless ways to meet your maker inside the park's 2.2 million acres. Tune in...2023-07-071h 31Easy Bake CovenEpisode 66: Old Pizza, Older CannibalsSend us a textY'all, this week was crazy.

This week, we dig up the history of these infamous markings, and learn about some very compelling cases. Don't worry, before we get too carried away (in a UFO?) Joe Nickell brings us back down to earth. As always, it's spooky and it's fun and god damn we want to believe it.

Big teeth, sharp claws and a smelly disposition make for bad company. But not all bears are out to get you - sometimes you just get in their way! And then there’s the predatory bears, the kind who watch you from the shadows and stalk your every move. Like Kesagake, the legendary Ussuri brown bear who brutally murdered eight Japanese women and children in 1915.
