In this week's episode, Charlie and Shelby close up shop (hopefully temporarily) with a story picked by Charlie - the Cleveland torso murders! Similar in nature to the Bella in the Wych Elm story, the dozen murders that occurred during the 1930's in Cleveland, Ohio would rock the town to its core and send many people into a frenzy during the investigation. It's got (lack of) glory, it's got mystery, it's got allure, it's got homeless people's tents being burned down, and it's got the potential of a politician's relative being the culprit. With wide open arms, and a little bit of a buzz, we welcome anyone and everyone to join us for the final episode of Cite Your Sources before our hiatus. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this week's episode, while Shelby and Charlie close out the show and prepare for an indefinite hiatus, they invite you to join them as the liquor is poured, the jokes start flying, and the secrets come out while diving into the tumultuous, horrific life of Richard Speck. A Chicagoland native, Richard Speck would eventually be forced to grow up in an abusive household following his fathers death, where he would suffer a traumatic brain injury. Years later, and thanks to an immense lack of good parenting, his life would spiral until he brutally assaulted, and robbed, a house filled with nurses.

In this week's episode, Charlie and Shelby hit their 1 year anniversary with the show! They decided to take a break from the usual morbid topics to discuss a fad diet that's been sweeping the nation for much longer than either of them imagined.

In this week's episode, Shelby and Charlie try their best to maintain composure while discussing the illogical-ridden story of Willows Weep. The story involves a house in Indiana which is said to be haunted by ghosts, demons, evil spirits, shadow people, and a handful of other paranormal entities. Originally constructed in the 1800's, the house has seen 7 deaths within its walls and even contains human remains beneath it. Paranormal investigator Dave Spinks had frequented the house, and spoken with the owner, before purchasing it himself. The stories about the house are questionable, for sure, but do you dare to travel to the location and see for yourself? Opening music licensed from Peder B.

Who killed Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia? We can't say for sure, but tune in to find out more! In this week's episode, Shelby and Charlie pull the curtains away from one of America's most gruesome unsolved murders, the case of Elizabeth Short, the “Black Dahlia.” Born and raised in Massachusetts in 1924, Elizabeth was one of 5 daughters of Cleo and Phoebe Short. With her father having abandoned the family, later found to be living in California, Elizabeth, her mother, and siblings would be left to fend for themselves. Soon after finding out her father was in California, she went to stay with him and wanted to become an actress. On her travels and adventures, she would cross paths with hundreds of people, would date many men, would become engaged, and would ultimately be on the run. Last seen on January 9, 1947, Elizabeth would be found again, chopped in two, on the morning of January 15, 1947. The investigation into her murder would yield hundreds of suspects, would reveal corrupt cops, and would end up going unsolved, even to this day. However, we have some interesting theories backed by strong support that the killer, or killers, are known. http://www.patreon.com/cyspodcast http://www.esty.com/shop/CiteYourSources http://www.redbubble.com/people/CiteYourSources Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this week's episode, Charlie and Shelby have an absolute blast exploring the mystery behind the Loretto Chapel staircase. This was hands down the rowdiest episode they've recorded. According to legend, it was built in an architecturally, physically impossible manner consisting of no nails, no means of support, and with a species of wood no one can identify. After building the chapel, a staircase was missing from the main floor up to the choir hall. Not wanting to sacrifice any seating space and refusing to simply use a ladder, the Sisters prayed to St Joseph. On the 9th day of prayer, a mysterious man arrived and constructed one of the most magnificent staircases ever built. He left without payment or thanks, and nobody can figure out how it works, what it's made of, or who did it…. or can they? Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this week’s episode, Charlie and Shelby take on what may be their biggest topic ever - the lost empire of Atlantis. After scouring a plethora of sources and reading a handful of books, or trying to, they believe they may have finally obtained enough information to provide a good estimate on the potentially fabled civilization’s location. While there may not be any of the sensationalized futuristic technology, like depicted in the Disney movie, Atlantis was still a highly advanced civilization for the time period that it (may have) existed. Go no further than this episode to hear an abundance of theories, investigations, ideas, and irrefutable evidences which suggest that Atlantis did, in fact, exist.

In this week’s episode, Shelby and Charlie journey eastward into the torrential and mysterious waters of the Bermuda Triangle. Riddled with disappearances, strange occurrences, and all kinds of anomalies, the duo bring you some of the harrowing tales of unfortunate souls that were taken by the mysterious waters. While there are dozens, hell, hundreds of disappearances and weird events that happen within the “Devil’s Triangle,” we bring you just a taste of the tales while offering a very likely twist ending of an explanation.

In this week’s episode, Charlie and Shelby close the book on Aum Shinrikyo, the cult responsible for the 1995 sarin gas attack in Tokyo. After receiving information of an impending police raid, Aum Shinrikyo sent 5 of its members out into Tokyo with the mission of causing a diversion so that attention would be drawn away from the cult. The diversion would end up causing several deaths, and up to thousands of injuries. Many members of Aum Shinrikyo were apprehended after the attack took place, with Shoko Asahara being executed in 2018. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this week’s episode, Shelby and Charlie jump the international border once again to explore the life of Chizuo Matsumoto, the man who would become the leader of the infamous cult Aum Shinrikyo. Born blind and raised in an impoverished household, Chizuo would attend a special school for blind students where his inclination for violence and control would blossom and run rampant. Always longing for something more, Chizuo would get into proto-guruism, eventually creating Aum Shinsen no Kai and the Aum Corporation before finally changing the name to Aum Shinrikyo, and his name to Shoko Asahara.

In this week’s episode, Charlie and Shelby dive deep into the waters of Loch Ness, in the Scottish Highlands, to see if they can uncover the mystery of the supposed “monster” that lurks in its waters.

In this week’s episode, Shelby and Charlie dive into America’s first mass murderer, Andrew Kehoe. Raised on a farm in Michigan, Kehoe would grow up to be adept at working with machinery and electricity. Though he and his wife were well liked by the neighbors, there was something dark and off-putting about Kehoe. Nobody consciously realized it until after it was far too late. After losing reelection as treasurer of the Bath Township School Board, Kehoe would go on to commit appalling acts of violence. He murdered his wife and bombed a newly constructed school in Bath, Michigan killing 38 people and injuring another 58. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this week’s episode, Charlie and Shelby explore the overtly interesting and wild life of Edward Arthur Wilson, known as Brother XII. An English native, Brother XII would move to British Columbia where he started the Aquarian Foundation. Through the foundation, Brother XII aimed to bring his vision to the world. But, there is a fiercely dark side rife with intolerance, control, abuse, anti-semitism, and theft lurking in the background. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this week’s episode, Shelby and Charlie explore a mystery brought to them by a Patreon subscriber. The story of Bella in the Wych Elm is older than most of our grandparents and, unfortunately, will likely never be solved. In 1943, some teenagers were out poaching and bird-nesting when they happened upon a fully skeletonized corpse in Hagley. Upon notifying the police, a decades long investigation was conducted which chased down everly feasible, exhausting lead. It’s rumored that someone somewhere knows who the skeleton is, but that secret is likely buried with them. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this week’s episode, Charlie and Shelby make a comeback with another black widow murder named Nannie Doss. Born into what would, under any circumstance, be considered a miserable household, Nannie found herself becoming irretrievably immersed in love novels and romance stories. Aspiring to find that “one true love”, her “perfect ending,” so to say, she would marry and kill several men before finally being caught. Why would she kill them, as well as a few others, you ask?

In this weeks episode, Charlie and Shelby take a trip to the wild west with the story of Levi Boone Helm - The Kentucky Cannibal. Helm was always troublesome, even from a young age, but his life of misdeeds and rabble-rousing would eventually drive him out of Missouri to the new frontier. Along his travels, Boone would commit copious amounts of horrible deeds and evade law enforcement until he found himself in Montana. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this weeks episode, Shelby and Charlie cover the most gruesome subject they've ever encountered: Gary Heidnik. Heidnik, who was one of several people used as the inspiration for the character Buffalo Bill, was nothing short of absolutely psychotic. He would abduct women, shackle them in his basement, and subject them to the most horrific forms of torture. This episode is not for the faint of heart. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

In this weeks episode, Charlie & Shelby explore an urban legend that's been around for nearly 70 years, the Rebobs of Napa Valley. The Rebobs have a vastly mixed history and while their description varies depending on who you ask, the general consensus is that they're flying monkeys. Their origins are also somewhat up for debate because they were likely created by a mad scientist, but nobody agrees on how exactly the scientist created them.

In this weeks episode, Shelby & Charlie discuss an incredibly ethically and morally charged topic, CRISPR. CRISPR, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, is a "technology" of sorts that allows researchers, scientists, or even the average person to alter and edit their genetic coding. Focusing mostly on the Netflix docu-series, Unnatural Selection, join us as we discuss some experiments that have been done with CRISPR, what's been successful, what fell short, some controversial actions taken by people, and even some conspiracy.

In this weeks episode, Charlie & Shelby take another trip down conspiracy lane to discuss some of the ins and outs surrounding the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, aka HAARP. The facility has become a hot-spot for sinister conspiracies and tales ranging from everything between weather modification to mind control. Many government agencies have been through the facilities over the years, but is HAARP really all it's cracked up to be?

In this weeks episode, Shelby & Charlie discuss an urban legend that spans across several states - The Melonhead Kids! Join the dynamic duo as they discuss the possible cannibalistic nature, genuine medical affliction, and overall creepiness of the creatures.

In this weeks episode, Charlie & Shelby take a brief pause this week to ask each other a series of questions to help the listeners get a better understanding of who exactly they are, how they work together, how their minds operate, and even spill a bit of tea on their history.

In this weeks episode, Shelby & Charlie host the shows first conspiracy episode, briefly discuss chemical trails (chemtrails) and condensation trails (contrails). While Charlie is able to adequately disarm several of Shelby's points, he does bring a small handful of valid questions to the table before eventually going brain dead when trying to explain the other major conspiracy theories tied to chemtrails.
