But very few ever expected him to be a serial killer. Join us this week as we get into the first portion of the John Wayne Gacy story! It's cringeworthy, so listen at your own risk!
Aloha Ghouls & Boys! This week Ash takes over to tell us about a few Killer Grannies!! Serial killer Grannies to be exact.

Aloha Folks! We're back with part two of the famous Milwaukee Cannibal!! We left off with three murders under Dahmer's belt, but that bodycount escilates QUICKLY! We hope you are prepared for this!
Aloha everyone!!! This week we take it back to one of the most notorious serial killers in US history.. The Milwaukee Cannibal.. Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer.

Stay tuned for parts two and three for more of the gory details! (Pun intended).
Hey There!! We hope you're ready for another unsettling tale of murders and attacks, this time without the closure we all crave. Shawna takes us out to the Texarkana area where couples are hunted down while they enjoy some “alone time”.
Aloha everyone!! This week is an Ash takeover with a topic that has NOTHING to do with child murders (as far as we know..)! Take a trip with us to Missouri and Texas as we explore two of the (allegedly) most haunted high schools in America!! Can you tell Ash is already ready for Halloween? Hahaha We hope y'all enjoy this episode!!! Don't forget to check out the instagram for pictures of these schools and "hauntings"
Think about how many people you see on an average day. Whether that person stands out to you or not. Regardless of whether you know them or you've seen them before. They could look like your average Joe or Joanne and you would never think twice about them. You wouldn't question someone doing their job and thinking that they might have an ulterior motive behind what they do for a living. Let's face it, there's probably a 1% chance (okay if you're into true crime then maybe like 5%) that you'll look at someone and say to yourself "I wonder if that personis ever killed anybody". Well this week we talk to you about a spineless human being who worked for Caltrans, tortured & murdered children & disposed of their bodies with the help of his job. Of course unbeknownst to his coworkers. We know that listening to stories that involve child torture and slayings can be extremely difficult for some people, so please listen to this episode with caution! Discretion is always advised, but especially with this episode!
Hello Spooky Babes and Babettes! Are you ready to get super grossed out? Shawna just might make you puke on this weeks episode of Carl Grobmann. A butcher by day AND night.. If you catch my drift!! It's about to get disgusting over here!!

Welcome back to part two of Samuel Little!!
There are SOOO many murderers in the world, let alone the USA. But one man has managed to strangle his way to the top of that list & maliciously earned the title of the most prolific serial killer in US history (according to the FBI). That man is Samuel Little, also called The Choke & Stroke Killer. Little confessed to a whopping 93 murders across 19 states over a period of 35 years. & although FBI crime analysts believe that lol of his confessions are credible, they have only been able to confirm 50-60 of the victims. According to the FBI, there are still several more that are waiting a final confirmation - they are still trying to get justice for all of the victims! Many of his victims’ deaths were originally thought to be drug overdoses, accidental or undetermined. Sources: FBI.gov NYTimes.com Wikipedia.org Theguardian.com Thecut.com

Well, you’ll have to tune in to hear the gory details!
Wow we finally did another Bitty Bothered & man does this one live up to it’s title.. It is BITTY for sure! Not for any other reason that there aren’t a TON of crazy details on this case.. On February 13, 2017, two young girl went for a hike, alone, in a wooded area just west of the Hoosier Heartland Highway, in Delphi, Indiana. After they failed to meet up at the agreed pick-up time and location, the two girls were reported missing to local authorities. Unfortunately, the next day their bodies were found near the Moon High Bridge Trail. Authorities had very little evidence to go off of and unfortunately, to this day, their killer is still at large. This is the story of Abigail Williams & Liberty German, otherwise known as the Delphi Murders. Sources: Indystar.com. In.gov. Channel 5 news & Wikipedia.org
