Demiworld Podcast

A huge thank you from Kelly and myself for making Demiworld such a fun romp. We have enjoyed 4 seasons of crazy crimes, strange tales, and mysterious events. But now with the lockdowns, finding time to research and record with an overactive kiddo underfoot is impossible. As such, we are forced to place the podcast on a permanent hiatus.

Cyndi and Kelly look at two literary mysteries in the seventh episode of season 4. Cyndi takes a deep dive into who the author of Shakespeare's plays really was, and Kelly examines the 11-day disappearance of Agatha Christie.

Episode 32 takes Kelly and Cyndi to the sea in maritime mysteries. Kelly takes a look at the bizarre case of Natalie Wood's drowning and Cyndi takes us to the air in the inexplicable case of the disappearance of Malaysia Airline Flight 370.

In the process of researching our episodes, we run along so many other great stories to tell, but most don't make the cut. Here are two historic mysteries that didn't make it into Demiworld's Ancient Mysteries episode.

In this closing episode of season two, urban legends, Kelly and Cyndi look at two strange and unbelievable medical urban legends: kidney theft and gerbiling.

Urban legends are all around us. Even holidays aren't immune to outlandish stories. This week, co-hosts Kelly and Cyndi take a look at some truly crazy Holiday Urban Legends - Halloween Urban Legends and the newest holiday on the calendar, the infamous 4/20.

Due to illness and jackhammering outside the "studio," we have been unable to record this week. However, Cyndi recorded a bonus episode in case of just such a situation. We hope you enjoy the eerie legend of Robert the Doll.

This week Kelly and Cyndi discuss the supernatural urban legends of Stigmata and Black-eyed Children

The legends we hear as children are the ones that stay with us most vividly. But what if you hadn't just heard the legend, but participated in it or had it thrust upon you? Kelly and Cyndi cover the legend of Bloody Mary and Poisoned Halloween Candy

Hollywood is full of mysteries, secrets and urban legends. Cyndi and Kelly take a closer look at two Hollywood urban legends: Nightmare on Elm Street's legend that claims if you die in a dream, you die in real life, and James Dean's Cursed Car.

Urban legends have been with humanity for generations. What we consider folk tales were once contemporary urban legends. This week Cyndi and Kelly take a look at the historic urban legends of Spring-heeled Jack and the Myth of the West.

Urban legends come in all shapes and sizes. Cryptid urban legends are no exception. Whether its chupacabra, Bigfoot, big cats running wild, or the Loch Ness Monster, cryptid urban legends continue to thrill and frighten.

Urban legends inform our social beliefs, how to act in public, and align our moral compass. For teens, the message is clear: stay close to home, cars are a gateway to death and destruction, and girls are always a target, even in their own homes.

Kelly and Cyndi finally created a show trailer.

Every once in a while, a woman comes along that does something that defies logic. With regard to Casey Anthony and Ruth Ellis, crazy is the only word that comes to mind when reviewing their cases. Some Bitches be Crazy.

Not all true crime is equal. The lovers of true crime enjoy the undoing of a murderer. How DNA, fingerprints, or stray hair have brought a criminal to justice. Yet, there are some crimes that intrigue us for their simplicity and for the survivors' stories. Demiworld delves into two of their favorite crimes: The Kidnapping of Patty Hearst and the 3M Yen Affair.

Most true crime junkies are obsessed with the serial killer mind. Was it nurture or nature that caused them to commit unspeakable murders, or more likely a combination of both? In this episode, Demiworld takes a look at two Serial Killers, Richard Ramirez, The Night Stalker and would-be serial killer, Ed Gein, and how law enforcement caught them.

Sorry about the sound quality :( We do get better. The club scene in New York is legendary, as are the crimes that occur behind its velvet ropes. This week, Cyndi and Kelly take a closer look at two crazy club crimes, with the Murder of Andre "Angel" Melendez by infamous Party Monster Michael Alig and the Queen of the Harlem Ball scene, Dorian Corey and the Mummified remains in hidden in her closet for over 30 years.

Crime has always been with us, and along with it, the fascination of how people could be capable of carrying them out. Sometimes, a crime or series of crimes are easier to look at after some time has passed. The wound they've inflected on the collective consciousness has healed enough to revisit them in a less emotional way. Here are two historic crimes Demiworld feels fit the bill; William Deacon Brodie and The Wonderland Gang Murders.

There are criminal elements whose infamy takes on a life of its own. Pop Culture Crimes are those that transcend media, embedding themselves as household names. This episode, Demiworld takes a look at Charles Manson and John Gotti.

Most crimes have telling crime scenes. Law enforcement collects evidence and piece together what may have happened. They bring in suspects, question them, gather more evidence, usually in the form of DNA, and they apprehend the culprit(s). But then there is the odd crazy crime scene. The deaths of Kathleen Peterson (the Staircase) and Rebecca Zahau are two prime examples of some bat shit crazy crime scenes.

Every true crime aficionado has a particular cold case that sticks with them. An unsolved murder that leads them down a rabbit hole of news articles, documentaries, forums, and speculation. The cold cases involving Dorothy Jane Scott and JonBenét Ramsey are two such cases.
