The year was 1994. The top movie in the worldwide box-office was The Lion King. Boyz II Men, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Ace of Base were dominating the hot 100 singles list. OJ Simpson fled the police in his white ford bronco. Brazil won the 1994 World Cup held in the US. And two debatably unsolved events took place- the tragic murder of the Rafay Family in Bellevue, Washington, and the well-documented unidentified flying objects over Lake Michigan. Both of which we explore in our revival episode. Check out our instagram for the photos and videos we promised, and as always, send any info (or fan mail) to deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com!! We're back baby!

Do you like Cheetos? Lululemons? And those toy dogs with a little body and a big head?

If you stick around, you'll also hear a quick history about King Tut and the anthropologists who fell victim to the "mummy's curse". Or did they...

We once again make a triumphant return with two ~historical~ tales that you may not be familiar with. The first: was the Titanic switched with her sister ship weeks before her doomed maiden voyage?

What's weirder, a coded message to bootleggers in a children's radio program or a fugitive family running from an invisible mafia? Either way, we're covering them all! Tune in to listen about Seattle's biggest cop-turned-bootlegger during Prohibition and his spy of a wife. Then, listen to the bizarre story of a family on the run for decades. What are they running from exactly? Well, that's up to you to decide.

After a brief hiatus, we're back with a new episode that will make you want to lock your doors in a typical DLD fashion. Katie gets familiar with her new city by researching the infamous Boston Strangler and the myriad of suspects who terrorized the city. Then Olivia dives into the lesser-known scandalous history of St. Valentine's Day (it's not all hugs and kisses)!

This week, our stories strike the perfect balance. First, we share the tragic murder of the Eastburn Family and the insane trials that ensued to try to convict the killer. Then, on a lighter note, we're talking about The Bling Ring, the group of Hollywood teenagers that burgled all of our favorite celebrities in 2008 & 2009.

We like to cover a lot of mysteries on this podcast, but what could be more intriguing than America's first mystery and the suspicious link between our beloved icons' deaths?? This week we discuss the amazing theories of what happened to the missing Roanoke Colony in 1590. Could it be murder? A National Treasure-like conspiracy? Or a zombie plague?? Then we explore the 27 Club and the strange connection between famous deaths, including Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, and Brian Jones who all tragically died at age 27. Let us know your theories on Instagram @DeviantLittleDarlings

Welcome to our 30th episode! We're stoked to share our stories this week, starting with the legend of Krampus, the anti-santa that inspires fear in children every holiday season.

Then, we enter every parent's worst nightmare as young Timothy O'Bryan gets more of a twisted trick than treat - a crime that changed Halloween forever.

This week we share the two unsolved disappearances of Dorothy Jane Scott & Maura Murray. Both cold cases have been highly investigated by police and the ever-persistent world of internet sleuths with no resolution. Audio Disclaimer: Due to a few technical difficulties, we faced lower audio quality in this week's episode. We recommend listening to episode 26 on speakers without headphones for the best listening experience. Join us next week for more great stories and even better sound quality!

Happy October! We're running with the spooky energy and starting with the story of Elizabeth Báthory, aka Countess Dracula.

Then, Katie introduces Angel's Landing, the unsettling cult/commune in Kansas led by a self-proclaimed thousand-year-old angel. If this doesn't make you feel all spooky scary inside, we don't know what will! Don't forget to check us out on instagram @deviantlittledarlings, and send us your thoughts via DM or our email, deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com

Join us this week for 2 classic tales involving big animals and even bigger mysteries! Katie dives into the origin story of Nessy, The Loch Ness Monster, and her many unexplainable sightings over the years. Whether she's a prehistoric creature or just a giant eel, scientists have been baffled by her existence for almost 100 years. Olivia re-lives the Tiger King craze by exploring the disappearance of Don Lewis (a.k.a. Carole Baskin's 2nd husband). Did she do it? Or did he escape from the crazy cat lady? Let us know your thoughts on our Instagram @deviantlittledarlings or by emailing us at deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com

Join us this week for the background on the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. The complex house was endlessly under construction in a bid by the homeowner to confuse the spirits she believed were haunting her. Take a tour through the house today and you might catch a glimpse of one! We're also sharing the tragic stories of JonBenét Ramsey, Madeline McCann, and their very famous unsolved cases. Have quarantine sleuths made an unsettling connection between the two seemingly unrelated incidents? Check out the "evidence" on our instagram @deviantlittledarlings and let us know what you think! Our inbox is always open, so send us an email at deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com

This week, we're sharing two stories that you might call... un-debunked. We're starting with the celebrated story of the sixth man to walk on the moon, Edgar Mitchell. While returning to earth, however, something shifted drastically, and he became an outspoken believer of extraterrestrial life. Remember Roswell from episode 16? He's got some thoughts. We're also exploring the idea that you might be able to remember your past lives. At least Shanti Devi seemed to; at the age of four, she was sharing intense details of her previous family. Don't believe it? Listen for yourself in Episode 20: Un-debunked! Make sure to follow our instagram @deviantlittledarlings for exciting new content every week, and please DM us, text us, or send us an email deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com if you know anyone who seemed to have a connection with a past life!

Don't be fooled by the name as both stories are equally sinister this week. In episode 19, we explore the dubious Heaven's Gate cult activity (and what lead to their ultimate and unsettling demise), as well as the evil Poltergeist Trilogy curse that seems to be haunting the movie's cast and crew. Has an evil spirit attached itself to the makers of the infamous horror film? Or is it all a bout of bad luck? Decide for yourself after this episode! Plus we have a very special announcement! Our second Instagram filter is up and running so go check "which DLD episode is haunting you" on our page @deviantlittledarlings.

Amityville Horror, a name that sends shivers down many a spine. In episode 18, we're exploring the real life story behind the supposedly haunted house that birthed at least 24 horror movies. We're also sharing the unsolved disappearance of D.B. Cooper, the mysterious plane hijacker who was never seen again after all of his intricate demands were met. Make sure to tune in to hear his dramatic exit from the crime scene. As usual, don't forget to follow us on instagram @deviantlittledarlings and send us your favorite spooky stories at deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com

Snacking on Twinkies and The Beatles' music? Not as lighthearted as you'd think. This week, we dive into the murders committed by Dan White and his subsequent trial, which would later inspire the term, the “Twinkie defense.” Ever had too many Twinkies and felt like murdering someone? The media sure thought Dan White did. We also explore the conspiracy theory that Paul McCartney actually died in 1966 and was replaced with a lookalike. Join us as we look into the endless potential clues left by the band in their promotional photos and albums. Take a look at some of the evidence on our instagram @deviantlittledarlings, and please DM us or email us at deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com to say hi!

If you love a story with a good ending... this might not be the episode for you. This week we explore the mystical origin of UFO conspiracies in Roswell, New Mexico and the possible government cover ups that followed it. And if metal flying objects aren't scary enough, we also follow the harrowing journey of Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers (aka every hikers worst nightmare). Check out some photos from these stories on our instagram, @deviantlittledarlings, and don't forget you can always email us at deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com!

Olivia said it best, this week our stories are just a bunch of “maybes.” Join us to explore the Dyatlov Pass incident and the conspiracy theories that surround the nine experienced hikers' mysterious deaths. We're also talking the creepy Clown Motel, home to thousands of clown figurines and paraphernalia. Are you dare enough to enter? Remember to keep an eye on our instagram, @deviantlittledarlings, for plenty of spooky scary photos. And as always, share your favorite deviant stories with us at deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com

This week, we're throwing it back once again for our favorite type of episode, a DEEP DIVE! We're talking the mysterious and unsolved death of Elisa Lam and the creepy elevator surveillance footage that came shortly before her death. We're also looking a little closer at the eerie Randonautica app. Sound familiar? It played a key part in Episode 12 and we've got all the info to share on why it's a TikTok sensation and the creepy ways people are using it. Don't forget to check us out on instagram @deviantlittledarlings and send us your Randonautica stories to our email, deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com.

What do ghost towns and vampires have in common? They're both somewhat related to stories we've told before! Join us for a closer look into Olivia's family's intricate history, starting in the (ghost) town of Andersonia, California. We're also sharing a deeper dive into Dracula, yes the one with fangs, and his Romanian origin story. Edward Cullen, who? You know the drill, don't forget to follow us on instagram @deviantlittledarlings and send any and all scandalous and spooky stories to our email, deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com.

Dads have the best stories, and this week we're pulling out two of our Dads' classics. First, we're correcting a major misconception: that Dracula isn't real. Listen to the story of the real life Drăculea, a.k.a. Vlad the Impaler and how he earned his gruesome nickname. Another dad-favorite, we're sharing the story of the Mahoney Trunk Murder, a 1921 true story that is eerily reminiscent of a TikTok that recently went viral. For all of this and more, check us out on instagram @deviantlittledarlings and feel free to send some of your dad's best stories to our email, deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com.

Whether you're a Pirate Queen or Art Fiend, the key to a successful robbery is having the right crew. Take a look at the best and baddest, Ching Shih, a brothel-worker turned Pirate Captain, for how to build a pirate empire and get away with it. Or the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist, a seemingly imperfect job that has never been solved. In either case, you may find yourself accidentally rooting for the criminal in these thrilling movie-like tales. For the inside scoop on these stories, find us on instagram @deviantlittledarlings. Please don't hesitate to email us at deviantlittledarlings@gmail.com either!

This week, we're kicking off our DEEP DIVE episodes. A fun way to circle back to fan-favorite stories and introduce more pieces to each puzzle. Remember those pirates from Episode One? Well there's certainly more to the story. We're also revisiting gender norms, and taking a look at what people face when they deviate from those societal norms. You can check us out on instagram @deviantlittledarlings for the inside scoop on our episodes, and please email us at deviantlittledarilngs@gmail.com with suggestions or fan mail ;)
