Haunted and HomicidalThis Episode Is Sponsored by Chaos (And HauntFest)This week’s episode is what happens when the ghosts decide THEY are the main characters.
GhostTube does not clock in quietly. Oh no. The spirits are ACTIVE, unhinged, and apparently stuck in the world’s most toxic paranormal situationship. They either LOVE each other or absolutely despise each other — there is no in-between. It’s giving ghostly reality show. It’s giving “we need couples therapy but we died in 1842.” They interrupt us constantly. They’re rude. They’re dramatic. At one point we’re pretty sure one of them is jealous.
Meanwhile, Lauren’s ADHD says, “You know...
2026-02-2637 minHaunted and HomicidalSPONSORSHIP, RAGE, & HIGH-KEY HORROR
We finally reveal the gigantic sponsorship we’ve been 87’ing rumors about — HauntFest, baby! But instead of celebrating like normal humans, we immediately decide we want a rage room because, let’s face it, we have many rage and zero chill. (Also Lauren threatens to quit AGAIN… is this a recurring subplot or her cardio now?)
In true chaotic fashion, we dive into two of the wildest kidnapping cases you’ve never fully processed in one sitting: the disappearance of Kamiyah Mobley that turned the internet upside-down, and the Jacob Wetterling case that broke so many hearts. These stories are insane, hear...
2026-02-2435 minHaunted and HomicidalGhostTube Said “Why Are You Here?” and Honestly… ValidThis week’s episode is absolute chaos from start to finish — and honestly, GhostTube chose violence.
GhostTube is fully activated today, interrupting us nonstop with unsolicited commentary like the paranormal backseat driver nobody asked for. It’s sassy, bossy, weirdly judgmental, and somehow more confident than both of us combined. At one point it basically takes over the conversation, and we’re not entirely sure who’s hosting the episode anymore.
Meanwhile, Mischa is deeply offended that we have company in the studio and makes sure everyone knows it. There is dramatic sighing. There is stomping...
2026-02-191h 20Haunted and HomicidalManson Part 2: Cults, Courtrooms, and Questionable Life ChoicesThis week’s episode begins with Mischa ASMR, because nothing says “true crime podcast professionalism” like aggressive sniffing, dramatic breathing, and a full emotional breakdown over Lauren’s hamburger. Mischa would like the record to show she has never been fed in her life. Ever. Not once.
Once the canine chaos settles (it doesn’t), we dive back into the disturbing and bizarre story of Charles Manson — Part 2.
We pick up in the immediate aftermath of the Tate-LaBianca murders, when the country realized the killers weren’t strangers or mobsters — but members of a cult led by a man who...
2026-02-161h 10Haunted and HomicidalResidual Hauntings, Immediate Chaos🚨 BIG NEWS LOOMING 🚨
We almost make a HUGE announcement this episode… but instead we aggressively tease you like reality TV producers. Stay tuned. Be afraid. Or excited. Probably both.
This week, GhostTube is BACK and somehow even sassier than usual — providing live commentary, roasting Courtney’s pronunciation skills, and repeatedly asking why Courtney is here AGAIN… as if she doesn’t show up every single Sunday like a haunted time loop. Rude.
Mischa commits crimes against humanity midway through the episode after stealing her mom’s onion-loaded chicken wrap and unleashing a chemical attack di...
2026-02-1246 minHaunted and HomicidalFlu, Ghosts, and Charles Manson: A Completely Normal WeekThis week’s episode is sponsored by influenza, ghostly personal-space violations, and the demon static that refuses to leave our audio equipment alone because apparently it pays rent here now.
After taking a week-long break because the flu absolutely drop-kicked us into another dimension, we’re back — medically fragile, emotionally chaotic, and running on cough drops and bad decisions.
We start with important life updates:
Lauren’s daughter received a friendship bracelet from 7 Brew and is now thriving, healed, and possibly more emotionally stable than the hosts of this podcast. Lauren got touched by ghosts a...
2026-02-101h 09Haunted and HomicidalThis Episode Is Cursed (Open Graves, Demons & the Flu)Buckle up, grab your EMF detectors, and maybe light a protection candle—because this week’s episode is an absolute paranormal fever dream.
We kick things off by unleashing the Ghost Tube app, which immediately chooses violence and becomes an uninvited fourth co-host. The app is popping OFF the entire episode, dropping words at the worst possible times and providing elite comedic timing that has us questioning reality, ghosts, and our life choices. The commentary? Unhinged. The vibes? Immaculately cursed.
From there, we head straight into La Noria Ghost Town, where the abandoned buildings aren’t even...
2026-01-3035 minHaunted and HomicidalUnstructured, Unhinged, UnpreparedThis episode opens exactly how God and the algorithm intended: Mischa ASMR. Crunching. Sipping. Questionable mouth noises. Instant regret. You’re welcome.
From there, we do what we do best—skip the warm-up entirely and dive headfirst into absolute nightmare fuel. First up: the Jaycee Dugard case, a story so horrifying it will make you stare into the middle distance and reconsider humanity as a concept. We talk long-term captivity, systemic failures, survival, resilience, and how so many people missed what was right in front of them (spoiler alert: it’s enraging).
Just when your soul i...
2026-01-261h 13Haunted and Homicidal50 Episodes, Zero Chill, All the Chaos🎉 EPISODE 50. FIFTY. FIVE-ZERO. 🎉
And did we celebrate like responsible adults with a well-planned, professional recording? Absolutely not.
To mark our 50th episode, we cracked open the wine, summoned fried sushi tacos (yes, fried, yes, sushi, yes, tacos, no we will not explain), and added cake to the mix because chaos thrives on sugar. We monch and cronch for the ENTIRE episode—headphones beware, Mischa’s elite cronchy ASMR is in full force. This episode was recorded way too late at night, powered by sleep deprivation, poor choices, and vibes alone.
We still don’t have our shi...
2026-01-221h 06Haunted and HomicidalSleep Deprived, Slightly Hostile, Deeply Into MurderThis week’s episode is brought to you by sickness, sleep deprivation, fried food, demonic interference, unexpected ASMR, and crimes that will absolutely ruin your vibe.
Courtney is still sick and hanging on by a thread, Lauren has officially unlocked a new life skill and can now make sushi tacos (growth), and at one point Courtney threatens to beat Lauren’s children because they are being inexplicably loud and have chosen violence against everyone’s sanity.
Mischa is operating on fumes after staying up way too late and missing out on her sacred beauty sleep. She is...
2026-01-191h 06Haunted and HomicidalPlague Island 🤌 Swamp Demon 😭WARNING UP FRONT: The demon static makes an uninvited comeback near the end of this episode. We don’t know why. We don’t know how. We are sorry in advance. Sorry ’bout it.
Today we are ✨international✨, which means we’re talking with our hands and mispronouncing Italian words with confidence. We head to Poveglia Island, Italy’s most haunted little island of Nope, where plague victims were dumped en masse, the ground is basically made of human remains, and a wildly unethical doctor allegedly lost his mind before launching himself off a bell tower. Fishermen won’t go near...
2026-01-1551 minHaunted and HomicidalChaos First, Murder SecondWe kick things off exactly how you’d expect after 40-something episodes: nothing works. Mics are mad. The internet is offended. You’d think we’d have this figured out by now, but that would require growth—and we don’t do that here. Mischa is aggressively itchy for reasons science cannot explain, and Courtney is slowly but surely losing her last remaining marble about it.
Once the gremlins are temporarily appeased, we dive headfirst into two absolutely horrifying cases: the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart and the still-unresolved, nightmare fuel disappearance and murder of Dorothy Jane Scott. Tee...
2026-01-1249 minHaunted and HomicidalInternational Legends, Domestic ChaosToday we attempt to discuss Castle Bran and the Loch Ness Monster, two Scottish legends that absolutely did not consent to this episode. But before we get anywhere near ancient stone walls or mysterious lake creatures, Courtney commits a culinary crime/genius move by making a sushi sandwich, and Lauren’s stomach begins eating itself from the inside out because she has once again forgotten to consume food like a functioning human.
Because these stories are not American (and even if they were, let’s be honest), we spend a truly impressive amount of time aggressively mispronouncing word...
2026-01-081h 34Haunted and HomicidalCrunch, Cry, Clusterfuck: Papini & Peterson EditionBefore we even get into the horrors of humanity, Lauren finally got her mince meat tarts from her grandmother for Christmas. Yes, she is living her best holiday fantasy, and yes, we are jealous. Naturally, we have a tiny obligatory ASMR session with Mischa, featuring some pretzel slims because nothing says chaotic true crime podcast like crunchy snack noises.
Once we’ve digested the pastries (and the pretzels), we spiral into pure madness: first up, the “kidnapping” of Sherri Papini — a case so wild, so baffling, and so full of plot holes that it could have been written...
2026-01-051h 34Haunted and HomicidalWinter Solstice Said Drink Up, NYE Said DieWelcome to January 1st, 2026 — same feral energy, same unhinged hosts, different calendar year. 🥂
If you’re listening to this while doing laundry or cleaning your house: STOP IT RIGHT NOW. You’re about to wash away your good luck, your good spirits, and probably your will to live. Go eat your black-eyed peas, your cabbage, your collard greens, or whatever leafy superstition you subscribe to and sit down.
Today’s episode is a little ✨special✨ because we’re ringing in the New Year by immediately spiraling.
First up: Winter Solstice, aka “Drunk Winter.”...
2026-01-0146 minHaunted and HomicidalJerry Brudos : The Final ActIt’s the third and final chapter in the Jerry Brudos saga, and honestly… we’re tired, emotionally damaged, and still fighting the equipment.
The episode kicks off with the obligatory Mischa ASMR, because she simply must lick the microphone directly, followed immediately by yet another round of technical difficulties. You’d think by week 22 we’d have this figured out—but absolutely not. Consistency is a myth. Stability is fake. We persevere anyway.
Once we finally get our shit together, we dive headfirst into the confession—where Brudos decides to talk, but only just enough to make...
2025-12-2947 minHaunted and HomicidalMerry Chrysler to the Christmas Demons - and you, too, I guess.Merry Chrysler, ya filthy animals 🎄
Today we’re decking the halls with creepy Christmas folklore, because nothing says holiday cheer like demon goats and child-eating giants. We’re diving into Krampus, the OG holiday menace, and then heading to Iceland to meet Grýla, her 13 feral Yule Lads, her lazy ass husband who contributes absolutely nothing, and the giant Yule Cat that will literally eat you if your outfit isn’t cute enough.
Before we even get spooky, Lauren realizes she’s out of clean coffee cups and promptly spirals into holiday despair. No mug. No peace. No...
2025-12-2534 minHaunted and HomicidalIts the most murderous time of the year!This week on the pod, we’re decking the halls with true crime as we dive into two chilling Christmas tragedies: Charles Lawson and the Covina Massacre. While most people were trimming trees, singing carols, and setting out cookies for Santa, these stories remind us that not everyone was feeling the holiday cheer. From quiet winter nights turned deadly to celebrations that ended in unimaginable violence, these cases prove that Christmas isn’t always wrapped in bows and goodwill.
Before we unwrap the darkness, a quick holiday housekeeping note: we did have some volume issues at the star...
2025-12-2238 minHaunted and HomicidalHaunted? Yes. Hungry? Always. Eastern State Penn and the Snallygaster? Absolutely.Welcome back to the disaster you willingly subscribe to every week! Today we plunge headfirst into the cold, crumbling halls of Eastern State Penitentiary—home to echoes, hauntings, and one very stressed-out Al Capone, who slowly unraveled inside those stone walls after the Valentine’s Day Massacre. We also flap our way into the bizarre world of the Snallygaster, because why cover just one nightmare creature when you can have two?
But before we even make it to the spooky stuff, we derail in true fashion:
✨ Mini. Dance. Party. ✨
Because we’re getting Mexican food for lunch...
2025-12-181h 07Haunted and HomicidalJerry Brudos Part 2: Murder, Mayhem, and Mischa’s Midnight MeltdownThis week, we dive claw-first into Part 2 of the Jerry Brudos saga—aka the portion where things somehow get even darker, creepier, and way more “oh no absolutely not.” We break down the four murders and two abductions in full detail, because apparently we enjoy terrifying ourselves and everyone else.
But before we get to the true-crime trauma, chaos calls:
Mischa spent the entire night with an upset stomach because her daddy cannot resist giving her treats for literally breathing. Lauren, meanwhile, has not slept since the Nixon administration and is running purely on iced coffee and sp...
2025-12-1559 minHaunted and HomicidalGhosts, Geyser, and Our Winged Emo KingThis week’s episode is a full paranormal buffet, and we’re starting strong. Before we even get to the ghosts and cryptids, we take a detour straight into real-life horror: the recent escape and capture of Morgan Geyser. We can’t stop thinking about how absolutely terrifying that must’ve been for Peyton, and yes, we spiral about it for a bit because… of course we do.
THEN we finally get to the main course: the Stone Lion Inn — home of ghosts, questionable sleepovers, Victorian vibes, and at least one spirit who is definitely tired of tourists. Co...
2025-12-111h 04Haunted and HomicidalJerry Brudos Part 1: Please Ignore Everything Happening HereWelcome to Part One of our 3-part descent into the bizarre world of Jerry Brudos — but honestly? This episode is only like… 40% true crime and 60% absolute side-quest chaos because we recorded on LAUREN’S BIRTHDAY and everything went straight off the rails IMMEDIATELY.
To start, Lauren’s husband makes yet ANOTHER cameo, but this time he’s suffering from a very specific kind of short-term memory loss where he cannot, under ANY circumstances, remember what Courtney got Lauren for her birthday… even though it was literally said 45 seconds prior. He also hosts a solo Funyun party, spiritually and physical...
2025-12-081h 05Haunted and HomicidalHaunted Frequencies & Alabama MysteriesToday, we dive headfirst into the shadowy weirdness of Skinwalker Ranch and the legendary Alabama White Thang (which, for legal reasons, is not Lauren’s husband—though he wishes he had that kind of cryptid clout).
Before we can even hit “record,” both Lauren and Courtney get jump-scared by absolutely nothing—or maybe something—lurking just out of sight. Was it a ghost? A trick of the light? A producer stirring? No one knows, but Courtney screamed first, so she loses.
Meanwhile, Lauren reveals an alarming truth: she is, in fact, a ham radio. Please adjust your...
2025-12-0438 minHaunted and HomicidalSerial Killers, Snack Thieves, and a Husband Who Thinks He’s FunnyThis week on the podcast, we attempt to discuss true crime… and immediately fail.
We try to cover the unsolved West Mesa Murders and the case of Norman Flowers, but as usual, the universe (and our brains) have other plans. Lauren’s husband makes yet another cameo—because apparently he’s a full-time cast member now—and yes, he still thinks he’s the funniest person alive. Mischa, meanwhile, is deeply offended after I tattled to her daddy that she was inhaling all the chips like a tiny, squeaky vacuum cleaner.
During the Norman Flowers segment, we...
2025-12-0137 minHaunted and HomicidalGhosts of Thanksgiving Past (and Mischa’s Noisy Present)This week’s episode begins with the mandatory Mischa ASMR, complete with crunches, sighs, and that “I’m the star and you’ll deal with it” energy. She blesses us with her presence… and then returns later with a squeaky toy solo that absolutely no one asked for but everyone gets. 🐾✨🎺
We kick things off with the Thanksgiving Ghost of Marsh Bridge, where the vibes are cold, creepy, and extremely on-brand. Lauren confidently believes that the “firemen” who stoked coals on old steam trains were the shirtless firemen from calendars, the type with glistening abs and suspenders hanging off their should...
2025-11-2737 minHaunted and HomicidalThanks(killing): Butt Scratches & Murder MysteriesWelcome back, gobble gobble gremlins, to this week’s Thanksgiving Murder Spectacular, where the only thing carved more aggressively than the turkey is… well… the people in these stories. 😬🔪
We kick off with the Guy Family Murders, a Thanksgiving nightmare so horrifying it makes burnt stuffing seem like a blessing. Lauren and Courtney unravel the grim details, question why holidays bring out everyone’s inner chaos goblin, and take several detours into “why do families always act up on holidays?” existential dread.
Then we stuff ourselves full of mystery with the unsolved Germond Murders, because nothing says “holi...
2025-11-2446 minHaunted and HomicidalNo Goats, Just Ghosts and a Frog WizardThis week on Haunted and Homicidal, we checked thoroughly — there are no goats at the Anchorage Hotel. None. Zero. Zilch. But you know what there is? Ghosts. So many ghosts.
We’re diving headfirst (and probably uninvited) into the haunted halls of the Anchorage Hotel, where spirits like to overstay their welcome and TVs apparently have a life of their own. Lauren recounts her very own haunted television experience — complete with unexplainable noises, flickering screens, and a level of anxiety you can’t get from any streaming service.
Then we hop on down (literally) to Ohio to...
2025-11-2028 minHaunted and HomicidalCode Blue! Code WTF? Killer Nurses: Do No Harm…ishThis week on Haunted and Homicidal, we dive scalp-first into the wild world of medical “professionals” who really said, “Do no harm? Never heard of her.”
First up is Jolly Jane Toppan — a nurse described as “unattractively fat” (first of all, RUDE. The audacity. The Victorian era really had no chill). But behind that backhanded insult was a woman who loved two things: murder and making people almost die just so she could bring them back. You know… for funsies.
Then we move on to Charles Cullen, the nurse who decided that grilling in the shower was a goo...
2025-11-1748 minHaunted and HomicidalThe Myrtles Plantation & The MoMo MeltdownWelcome back, you gloriously chaotic creeps, to another episode of Haunted and Homicidal — the only show where haunted plantations, cryptid gossip, and mild emotional damage come together over the promise of pizza for dinner.
This week, we’re heading deep into the swampy, ghost-infested heart of Louisiana to uncover The Myrtles Plantation, one of America’s most haunted homes — complete with mysterious murders, restless spirits, and way too many portraits that stare directly into your soul. Along the way, we detour (obviously) into Rougarou territory, because if there’s a half-wolf swamp cryptid roaming around, we’re absolutely g...
2025-11-131h 02Haunted and HomicidalMurder, Gaslighting, and a HUGE side of incompetence🚨 Trigger Warning: this episode contains heinous crimes, frustrated ranting, and Lauren & Courtney losing the last of their sanity in real time.
This week we dive into the absolutely deranged mind of Albert DeSalvo, the so-called “Boston Strangler” — a man who somehow managed to convince the world (and maybe even himself?) that he was the one behind a string of brutal murders… while casually terrorizing women like it was his full-time hobby. We unravel his “confession,” his questionable memory, and the very uncozy feeling of realizing the real killer might still have been out there.
Then, because apparen...
2025-11-101h 12Haunted and HomicidalLizzie Borden Took an Axe... and Slender Man Took Our SanityGrab your EMF detectors, your rosaries, and your questionable life choices because this episode is a fever dream. Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst into the Lizzie Borden House—yes, that one—where good ol’ Lizzie allegedly played Fruit Ninja with her parents in Fall River, Massachusetts. We dramatically (and with zero rhythm) recite the infamous poem:
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
(We’re still unclear who was counting, but they deserve a medal.)
After...
2025-11-061h 15Haunted and HomicidalKnives, Nightmares, and Nonsense: The Doodler & The Servant Girl AnnihilatorThis week on Haunted and Homicidal, your favorite chaotic duo dives headfirst into two horrifying tales that sound like they were made up during a fever dream but are, unfortunately, 100% real.
First up: The Black Doodler — the mysterious San Francisco serial killer who sketched his victims before murdering them. Because apparently, murder wasn’t enough — he had to add an arts-and-crafts twist. Lauren immediately questions whether he used a sketchpad or napkins from a diner, Courtney’s convinced she’s seen this plot in a bad Lifetime movie, and Mischa provides live ASMR as emotional support.
Then we...
2025-11-0337 minHaunted and HomicidalHaunted & Homicidal’s Halloween Spectacular (aka Pure Chaos in Costume)This week’s special Halloween episode is brought to you by pure mischief, caffeine, and the unrelenting crunch of Mischa’s ASMR debut (yes, she starts the show AND demands booty scratches throughout — union rules or something).
Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst — and possibly headless — into The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, where they bravely mispronounce approximately 73% of the words (because let’s be honest, we can barely pronounce the ones we do know). Somewhere between “Ichabod Crane” and “is it pronounced ‘Van Tassel’ or ‘Van Tussle’?,” chaos reigns supreme.
Then we get witchy with The Origin of Halloween — Lauren...
2025-10-301h 04Haunted and HomicidalThe Trick-or-Treat Murder & The Candy-Coated ChaosIt’s Halloween week, ghouls — and this episode is running purely on chaos, caffeine, and the haunting realization that no amount of energy drinks can fix a 6 a.m. photoshoot. Lauren and Courtney are barely functioning humans, Mischa is unhinged (and physically assaults Courtney mid-recording in her desperate quest for butt scratches), and we’re diving headfirst into two of the most Halloween-core cases ever: Ronald Clark O’Bryan, a.k.a. The Candy Man Killer, and Peter Fabiano, the poor soul taken out on Halloween night by one of the wildest murder plots ever.
Courtney’s rage towar...
2025-10-2753 minHaunted and HomicidalFrom Hysterical Women to Howling Skin WalkersThis week, we take a delightfully unhinged trip to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum — where the admission criteria seem to have been written by Gaston LeGume himself. Because honestly, who needs a woman that reads books? Next thing you know, she’s thinking… and we can’t have that, now can we? Insert aggressive 1800s misogyny and fainting couch noises here.
But wait — it gets spookier. We’re diving deep into the Navajo legend of the Skin Walkers, not the watered-down, white-washed “Western movie villain” version, but the real shapeshifting nightmares from the old stories. And somehow, we still managed to...
2025-10-231h 07Haunted and HomicidalThe Green River Killer: Part 2 — How the Hell Was He Free This Long?Trigger Warning:
This episode contains an Olympic-level amount of “fucks.” They fly freely, passionately, and with purpose. If you’re keeping a tally, good luck—Courtney lost count 20 minutes in, and Lauren gave up somewhere around the 37th “fuck” when the rage hit full tilt.
In the shocking conclusion of our two-part Green River Killer deep dive, we pick up where we left off—continuing through the final list of Gary Ridgway’s 49 confirmed victims. As we read their names and stories, we’re hit—again and again—with the staggering reality of just how many women were lost a...
2025-10-2056 minHaunted and HomicidalPennhurst, Pizza, and the Goat-Sucker SupremeThis week your favorite spooky duo went full Pennhurst Sanitorium mode — yes, the one crawling with ghosts, creaks, and vibes so cursed that even our microphones tried to quit halfway through. Then we slide (chaotically, like we always do) straight into the desert hunting for the Chupacabra, aka the cryptid that looks like it got designed by a bored middle-schooler during detention and somehow got its own Netflix doc treatment.
But don’t worry, we keep it classy — because while we’re talking about goat-suckers and haunted hospitals, we’re also drooling over the thought of BBQ pork ribs...
2025-10-161h 23Haunted and HomicidalThe Green River Killer: Part 1 — “It’s Always the Quiet Ones (and the Subway Cookies)”Trigger Warning:
This episode contains a disturbing amount of “fucks.” Like, genuinely—so many that even Gary Ridgway might’ve blushed (and that’s saying something). Proceed with snacks, caffeine, and perhaps a sage bundle.
Episode Description:
In Part One of our deep dive into one of America’s most prolific serial killers, we unravel the twisted origins of Gary Leon Ridgway—the man who smiled through sermons, cried during Bible readings, and somehow thought murder was part of his life plan. From his warped childhood in Salt Lake City to his early days in Washington Sta...
2025-10-131h 07Haunted and HomicidalOf Gables, Goblins, and Gothic MarketsGrab your sage bundles and your emotional-support breadsticks, because this week, chaos takes a colonial turn! 🏚️
Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst into The House of the Seven Gables — that haunted slice of Salem history dripping with Gothic guilt, family curses, and some good ol’ witch trial trauma. We unpack the dark history of the Turner family, the lingering energy of wrongful accusations, and how Nathaniel Hawthorne basically said, “Let’s trauma dump… but make it literary.”
Then things get weirder (obviously) as we introduce the Pukwudgies — tiny woodland tricksters who honestly just wanted to find love but got absolu...
2025-10-0954 minHaunted and HomicidalWalter, Walker, Whatever: Murder & MayhemThis week we’re diving headfirst into some truly sinister history:
🔪 First up is Serial Killer Gary Alan Walker—a man who made small-town horror a living reality. The details are grisly, the psychology is twisted, and yes…we dragged y’all into the deep end with us. (Also, Lauren keeps calling him Walter because apparently reading is hard, and we’re just rolling with it at this point.)
☠️ Then we jump to the story of Mary Creighton, whose preferred hobby wasn’t knitting or gardening…it was poison. Let’s just say she was the worst dinner host o...
2025-10-061h 11Haunted and HomicidalGhosts, Ghouls, and What-the-HelleryPack your sage, prepare your best “WTF” face (Lauren’s already making hers), and settle in because this week’s stories are a ride:
Waverly Sanitorium – Kentucky’s creepiest TB hospital, where patients “relaxed” in lung chairs (Courtney can't spell, but what else is new?). Picture rows of bundled patients breathing in “fresh air,” while the halls filled with shadow people, disembodied voices, and Timmy the eternal ball-playing ghost. Add in the infamous death tunnel (aka paranormal Slip ’N Slide) and Lauren’s uncontrolled facial expressions—which range from “ew” to “I’m filing a restraining order on this building.”
The Aw...
2025-10-0246 minHaunted and HomicidalExplosions, Holy Murder, and Zero ChillStrap in, because this week we’re dragging you through the shadowy rabbit holes of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber—the hermit-genius who waged war on modern society with handcrafted bombs—and Thomas Piper, Boston’s “Holy Horror” sexton whose pious exterior hid a murderous streak.
As we peel back layers of paranoia, violence, and hypocrisy, Lauren confesses her absolute terror of tunnels (she literally goes blue holding her breath until daylight reappears), while Mischa delivers her unhinged hot takes by obliterating a squeaky toy mid-recording like it’s her own personal manifesto. Chaos, crime, and zero chill await.
2025-09-291h 20Haunted and HomicidalWinchester Walls, Mermaid Calls & Roo Roo Pre-Birthday BrawlsWe ease in with Mischa’s ASMR whispers, because nothing sets the mood like a soothing voice before the inevitable Roo Roo chaos kicks down the door.
First up: the Winchester Mystery House—the mansion of endless staircases, doors to nowhere, and vibes that scream, “you’re probably lost forever.” We unpack the legend, the ghosts and debate whether or not it should be "groaning in pain" or "moaning in pain"... Lauren is on #teamgroan. Courtney doesn't care.
Next: Mermaids. Not the singing, bubbly kind—these are the eerie, folklore-drenched, drag-you-under-the-water kind. We wade into the myths, t...
2025-09-251h 06Haunted and HomicidalStephen Richards & Joseph Duncan: Evil That Broke Us⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of extreme violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and murder. Listener discretion is not just advised—it is absolutely necessary. Please take care of yourselves before deciding to listen.
This week, we dive headfirst into the dark, gut-wrenching cases of two absolute monsters: Stephen Richards, one of the earliest recorded serial killers in American history, and the disgusting, irredeemable, complete piece of shit Joseph Duncan, whose crimes left us broken in ways we didn’t even expect.
We pride ourselves on balancing spooky chaos with true crime storytelling, but this epi...
2025-09-221h 18Haunted and HomicidalMurder Houses, Cryptid Cousins, and Static That Won’t Pay RentThis week we’re diving headfirst into double the creepy, double the chaos. First up: the infamous Boise Murder House—a place where the wallpaper probably peels itself off in protest and the ghosts are definitely rolling their eyes at us for laughing too hard. Then we wander (ill-advisedly) into the woods to talk about the Woods Devil, a cryptid that’s basically Bigfoot’s awkward, skinnier, tree-hugging cousin.
And speaking of Bigfoot, we couldn’t resist pulling in that classic Mitch Hedberg gem:
“Maybe Bigfoot is just blurry. That’s the problem. It’s not the photogra...
2025-09-1835 minHaunted and HomicidalUnsolved Mysteries, Slay Queens, and Snack-Sized Dogs🚨 This week, your favorite chaotic duo dives into the mystery and mayhem buffet 🍽️👻
First up: the unsolved disappearance of Maura Murray (spoiler alert: the mafia is definitely not involved, no matter how many conspiracy rabbit holes we fall down). Then we turn the spotlight on the absolute legend that is Helen Spence—who, in our humble but loud opinion, slayed justifiably. 💅🔪
Of course, things immediately spiral into nonsense tangents:
Lauren confesses that socks and closed-toe shoes are basically her personal hell because she can’t stand her toes touching (send help, or sandals). 👣😱
Courtney subjects h...
2025-09-151h 13Haunted and HomicidalThe Demon House Disaster, Robert the Doll’s Rules, and Mischa’s Manicotti ASMR (By Popular Demand)🎙️ This week we’re serving up equal parts cursed real estate, haunted dolls, and… manicotti.
First stop: the Demon House in Indiana—a place so terrifying it makes you reconsider every time you casually say “yeah sure, let’s go check out that abandoned house.” (Spoiler: don’t.)
Then we pack our bags for Key West to chat about Robert the Doll, the little man with the big bad vibes. Remember, you MUST mind your manners with Robert. Say “please.” Say “thank you.” Compliment his outfit. Do not clown him—unless you want him showing up in your nightmares with th...
2025-09-1141 minHaunted and HomicidalPazuzu part 2, Satanic Shenanigans & The Great Hand Towel PanicWe’re back with Part 2 of the Pazuzu Algarad deep dive, and things somehow get even wilder. This episode covers the unraveling of Pazuzu’s reign of chaos—his arrest, the disturbing aftermath, and what justice finally looked like. We also talk about the oddly festive vibe surrounding the demolition of his infamous house, complete with neighborhood picnics like it was a block party from hell.
And because it wouldn’t be Haunted and Homicidal without a little unhinged honesty, Lauren confesses her completely valid fear of hand towels. Yes, hand towels. And carpet....and bathmats. And cluttere...
2025-09-081h 01Haunted and HomicidalPazuzu’s a Dickbag, Ed & Lorraine are Still Full of Shit, and the Dybbuk Box is Basically a LunchableWe’re still emotionally limping after dealing with dickbag extraordinaire Pazuzu Algarad (seriously, therapy bills incoming), but guess what? The chaos train does not stop. Next stop: The Conjuring House, where Ed and Lorraine Warren are—once again—out here doing the absolute MOST. Spoiler: their “help” might actually be the reason demons keep showing up like they’re clocking in for overtime.
Speaking of demons, apparently they love smacking humans around like rag dolls even in their dreams. That’s the common thread, folks. These demons are just out here throwing hands for sport....and we are here for i...
2025-09-041h 43Haunted and HomicidalPazuzu, a case of ideas, and Klaus Mikaelson??In this chaotic cocktail of true crime and tangents, Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst into the disturbing world of Pazuzu Algarad—the self-proclaimed Satanist whose house of horrors left North Carolina (and the internet) speechless. We break down his gruesome crimes, bizarre lifestyle, and the chilling details of his twisted following.
But because we can't help ourselves, we also somehow spiral into a conversation about the superior hybrid vibes of Klaus Mikaelson (yes, we’re still not over The Originals) and how Mississippi went from its first snowfall in decades to melting on the Gulf Coast like a po...
2025-09-011h 16Haunted and HomicidalBell Witch Shenanigans, Enfield Horror Madness, and Demon Static ASMR - sorry about itGrab your sage, your salt, and maybe a bottle of DayQuil, because this week is feral. We’re spelunking straight into the Bell Witch Cave—where whispering spirits, poltergeist-level drama, and a ghost with main character energy decided to make Tennessee its stage. Then we’re taking a pit stop in Enfield, Illinois, where some poor guy ran into a creature that can only be described as “cryptid-meets-mutant-gremlin-on-bath-salts.” Yes, the Enfield Horror is as unhinged as it sounds.
Meanwhile, we’re still collectively confused about how demons actually enter your body. Is it through the mouth like some kind of...
2025-08-2845 minHaunted and HomicidalTwo Killers, One Spider Bite, Courtney’s Plague Era, and Zero Grip on Reality Because Bandaids Are Out to Kill Lauren TooWe kick things off with the bizarre case of Mary Cowan — a story so messy and surreal it feels like history accidentally tripped, faceplanted, and decided to stay there. Mary’s saga plays out like a fever dream of bad decisions, wild twists, and unsettling déjà vu that makes you wonder if the universe just hits copy-paste on terrible life choices.
Then we move on to Linda Hazzard — who wasn’t just eccentric; she was basically running the “Starve Yourself to Enlightenment (and Accidentally Die)” Spa Experience™. Linda’s whole vibe radiates Kuzco’s poison—sorry, potion—energy, the kin...
2025-08-251h 04Haunted and HomicidalFrench Quarter Spirits (and the Kind You Drink), La Llorona’s Riverbank Drama, + One Missing Juggalo QueenPack your sage, your chicest black outfit, and maybe a snack (because ghost hunting can easily turn into beignet hunting) — we’re off to the most haunted corners of New Orleans. We gush about our love for the French Quarter — cobblestone streets, voodoo shops that smell like incense and secrets, the gothic beauty of the St. Louis cemeteries, and every witchy happening that makes us want to move in… even if the neighbors are dead.
Naturally, we can’t go to NOLA without diving into the twisted tale of Madame LaLaurie and her infamous mansion — the kind of place tha...
2025-08-211h 12Haunted and HomicidalTorsos, Tension, & the Crunch Heard 'Round the micGrab your sage, clutch your crystals, and prepare your eardrums — because this episode is a double scoop of unsolved madness that’s somehow spooky, unhinged, and snack-fueled all at once.
First, we dissect the Cleveland Torso Murders, committed by the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run (who we’re 1000% convinced was Sweeney — and honestly, we will die on that hill). Dismemberments, Depression-era detectives, and the wildest game of “guess the murderer” you’ve ever heard. Then we unravel the eerie mystery of the Edgecomb Killer — another unsolved case that’s as frustrating as it is terrifying.
And...
2025-08-181h 04Haunted and HomicidalCannibal Spirits & Clown-Fueled ChaosThis week, we take a frosty plunge into full-blown terror, starting with the bone-chilling legend of the Wendigo—a winter-loving, flesh-hungry cryptid who prefers its humans plump and panic-seasoned. We unpack the folklore, the eerie ceremonies once used to keep it at bay, and whether that existential dread you feel every December might just be… a vibe or a Wendigo.
Then, because we hate ourselves, we take a sharp left turn into the haunted Clown Motel—a place so cursed it garners multiple "absolutely the fuck nots" and a full-on panic spiral from Lauren. Between the ghost clowns...
2025-08-1450 minHaunted and HomicidalHattie, Homicide, and the Tool Named TooleThis episode dives headfirst into the dark and tangled world of some truly chaotic killers. First up is Hattie Whitten, a small-town poisoner with big-time body count energy. Then we descend into the unsettling and confusing pit that is Ottis Toole—a walking red flag who made a career out of grotesque crimes and false confessions, most notoriously alongside his equally deranged partner-in-lies, Henry Lee Lucas. These two were less a dynamic duo and more a disaster in denim.
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of the Adam Walsh case and Ottis Toole’s disturbing and disputed involvem...
2025-08-1156 minHaunted and HomicidalGhosts, Creepy Kids, "Zak Bagel Bites" (thanks Em and Christine) and me lucky charms!In this episode, Lauren and Courtney take you to the notoriously haunted 1886 Crescent Hotel—not to be confused with croissants, a buttery French pastry, though the vibe is equally flaky. We dig into the paranormal history, the infamous mirror where ghostly hands supposedly reach out (um, no thank you), and share why this hotel is on our bucket list... but only if that bucket comes with sage and holy water.
But wait—there’s more! We also get into the eerie phenomenon of the Black Eyed Kids (not to be confused with the Black Eyed Peas—though both are...
2025-08-071h 03Haunted and HomicidalNannie, Brian, and....task forks? Or whatever she said... plus RIP Ozzy, Michael...and to the Hulk, you know what you did..This episode is a full-blown rollercoaster of true crime and total brain fog. We start with the unsettling tale of Nannie Doss, the sweet-smiling serial killer known as the Giggling Granny, who poisoned her way through husbands like it was a hobby. Then we unravel the nonsense that is Bitch Boy Brian “Penelope” Pennell, a man whose crimes are as ridiculous as his nickname is earned (that we gave him because fuck that guy). We cover their arrests, sentencing, and the absolutely unhinged details that left us staring into the void.
Meanwhile, we try (and fail) to wrap...
