Spookie Stuff

OMG Happy Halloween, betches! We're back from the grave and ready to celebrate our fav holiday! Starting things out: Angela takes us to Kansas and tells us all about the Sallie House Haunting (8:08). Then, in the more gruesome spirit of Halloween and all things nightmare related, Abbie does a deep dive (autopsy report and all) into the still unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short aka The Black Dahlia (22:50)... don't worry though, we're pretty sure we solved it! 

Jumping right in, at 3:02 Abbie tells us the absolutely insane story of the black widow Belle Gunness and the haunted AF land her murder/farmhouse once stood on. In the early 1900s, she lured men from all over the United States to her farm in La Porte, IN under the guise of looking for a husband. Spoiler alert: it never seemed to work out and none of them ever returned back to where they came from. Then, it's time for a current event Spookie Stuff because Angela is bringing us a creepy story that is unfolding in the news right now! Momo is an internet phenomenon spreading across the world encouraging kids to participate in everything from bad behavior to self harm and suicide... but does it really exist? Let's investigate (32:00).   

We're about 40 days into 2019 and what a fucking long year January has been! Abbie dropped and drowned her phone in a storm drain on Christmas and Angela's house was literally crashed into on New Year's Eve, but we've collected ourselves and we're back with some creepy tales for you! At 10:05 Abbie is doing a haunting from her hometown state of Virginia: Bunny Man Bridge. Then, Angela covers the strange disappearance of five men in 1978, better known as the 'Yuba County Five' (20:20).

Happy fucking Holidays! 'Tis the season and boy do we have some stories sure to spread that holiday cheer! That is, of course, if incest, murder and deadly curses are your idea of cheer. At 8:10, Angela shares the bizarre story of the studious life and curious death of Richard Lancelyn Green: a man obsessed with famous author Arthur Conan Doyle and Doyle’s most cherished character, Sherlock Holmes. Did Green fall prey to the Doyle Curse? Or was his death just a cruel twist of fate? It’s a mystery complex enough for the likings of Sherlock Holmes himself. Then, at 29:20, Abbie tells the story of England’s very own “House of Horrors” and the real life monsters who ran it: Fred and Rosemary West. This gruesome story is one of the more troubling that we’ve covered and may not be for all listeners. Spoiler Alert: the West’s most certainly made Santa’s naughty list every damn year.

Jumping right into things, at 8:15 Abbie covers the history and horrors of Alcatraz Island located of the coast of San Francisco, CA. Then, Angela covers the gruesome massacre that took place at the LaPrete mansion in New Orleans, LA (38:45).

Happy Halloween, betches! We're back! Pardon our long intro, we had a lot to catch up on. This week, Abbie details the horrific true story of the Amityville murders that took place in Long Island, NY in the mid 1970s and the hauntings that followed (17:45). Then, at 41:15, Angela retraces the last known movements of Diane Augat who was last seen in April of 1998 at restaurant outside Tampa, FL. All that authorities have to go on is an untraceable phone call, a severed finger found alongside the freeway and a neatly packed ziplock bag of her clothes in a freezer.

Oh Em Gee, we're back!! Summer vacay is officially over and we're hitting the books once again... the Wikipedia “book” pages, that is. We're giving each other long forgotten gifts, sharing our opinions on Sharp Objects (don’t worry, we’re careful not to include spoilers) and summing up our basic summers. AKA pretty much everything you always knew you never wanted to know. Coincidently, this week we both cover a missing persons case. Angela delves into the bizarre disappearance of Beverly Potts, (8:15) who went to a local music show with her friend and never returned, and the even more bizarre confessions to her murder that would accrue over time. Then, at 32:00, Abbie covers the controversial case of Madeleine McCann: a little girl from the U.K. on holiday in Portugal with her family and friends who would vanish without a trace, never to be seen again. 

Hello and happy Monday! This week, Abbie covers the crazy disappearance of medical student Brian Shaffer. He was last seen entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona bar in Columbus, OH in the early morning hours of April 1, 2006 (10:29). Then, at 35:50, Angela takes us to Scotland where Glamis Castle and all its ghosts are located. From a deformed baby locked in a secret room to the ghost of a woman burned alive... look no further: this castle has it all!

Alright, so if you don't know how to bump up the speed of podcast episodes to 1.5 or 2x their normal pace... now is the time to learn. It is hot af in Los Angeles and we cannot be blamed for how slow we may be speaking today. The struggle is real. At 14:55, Angela is breaking down the many poltergeists associated with the Berini Haunting that took place in New England during the 1970-80's. Then, Abbie takes us to Wolfsegg, Germany where old grudges, infidelity and murder collide to create a very haunted castle (36:50). 

It's been a fucking minute you guys! We've missed you! This week we're catching up on must-watch shows, new girl crushes and sharing our opions on The Staircase documentary and, most importantly, where Lebron will go next year. *Trigger warning* At 13:35, Abbie discusses Aokigahara, famously known as Japan's Suicide Forest. Then, Angela introduces us to the many ghosts living in Hotel Monte Cristo located near the Grand Canyon in Arizona (33:30).

This week we've got a spooky reincarnation story and a small island made up of human remains! At 7:25, Angela tells the bizzare story of the Pollock twins and how they possibly came back as their previously deceased sisters. It's complicated, we know. Then, Abbie tell us all about the island getaway that NO ONE wants to take. Off the coast of Venice, Italy lies a small chunk of land that even makes Shutter Island seem not so bad (21:00).

Hi friends, we're back from sabbatical! We've actually got three stories for you today (you're (not) welcome). At 6:48, Abbie recounts the tragic events leading up to and during the exorcism of Janet Moses. Was she possessed? Could this have been prevented? Is her family to blame for her death? …Then, Angela has two unsolved mysteries for us! First, she explores the mystery of the Eilean Mòr lighthouse (28:46) and then, at 38:15, she tries to explain what the f*ck is locked inside the Chase Vault in the Barbados.

This week we’re both taking you to countries filled with names we cannot pronounce (you’re welcome). At 8:30, Angela explores the unsolved Hinterkaifeck murders: in the 1920s an entire family is found murdered at their homestead in Germany. Then, at 22:40, Abbie discusses the Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case. In the 1970s the disappearance of two men would shock the sparsely populated country of Iceland. Five men and one woman would eventually be convicted and sent to prison… but did they actually do it? What happened to the two men? Did the real culprit walk free? Let’s discuss!

This week Angela explores some of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Denver, CO airport and what exactly is lurking in the underground world beneath it... there's much more here than meets the eye (10:27). Then, Abbie explains the infamous creepypasta meme Slenderman and how he drove two girls to try and kill their best friend (31:32).

Happy Monday, we're back! Put your rainboots on because this week Abbie is taking us across the pond to Liverpool, England and things are going to get super weird and a little murder-y with the Eriksson Twins (12:15). Then, at 34:20, Angela tells us the story of the Octoroon Mistress and why she continues to haunt a beautiful home in New Orleans, LA. 

Welcome! This week (just like every other) we’re sharing all our opinions… from Walmart to ‘The Bachelor’ to why people insist on wearing makeup to the gym, we have our two cents on it all and we’re throwing it in. On a more serious note, we briefly discuss the importance of mental health awareness and Angela covers Pasadena’s Suicide Bridge and the souls that haunt it (12:17). Then, at 26:50, Abbie takes us to Edinburgh, Scotland. Home to one of the most haunted cemeteries in the world; there are plenty of supernatural events that have taken place here, but, don’t take our word for it… just look at the photographic evidence from visitors who have left here scarred, scratched and bruised.   

Sorry for the late post aka we Oscar partied way too hard last night. After a heated 20 second debate on who goes first, Abbie takes us to the haunted Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa where no one likes working the graveyard shift… or the “ghost shift” as the guards refer to it here (14:30). Then, the time has finally come! Angela is going to spill all the dets on Shadow People at 31:12.

We're back, betches! Getting right down to business, at 4:25 Angela is taking us to a creepy burger joint in Cincinnati, OH... Habits Cafe: come for the food, stay for the ghosts. Then, at 21:35, Abbie explores the mysterious disappearance of the Sodder children who vanished during a house fire, never to be seen again. 

First of all, stop what you’re doing and go watch all the figure skaters at the Olympics... They’re killing it. Then, when you’ve had your fill of real talent, turn your attention back over here because we’re talking about people killing stuff, too. But, like, literally. At 16:55, Angela details the discovery of another mysterious dead body: the Isdal Woman. Who was she? And why did she own so many wigs? Then, Abbie tells us everything we never wanted to know about the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City, OK (36:25). Spoiler alert: it's haunted af. If you don't believe us, just ask anyone in the NBA because they have all had lots of strange experiences over the years while staying in the city for games. 

Angela's dog ate her homework, but luckily Alisha is back with an Eleanor update and Abbie is talking about a mental ward in Kentucky. Grab a glass of wine (or six like we did last night, sorry for the delayed post) and join us as we talk about moving, ghosts and why hiking is SO hard. 

In this week’s episode Angela tackles the mystery surrounding the Somerton Man (9:30). Found propped up against a wall near the beach in southern Australia, he was dressed in a suit with nothing but an unsmoked cigarette and a strange note in his pocket. Who was he? How did he die? Why were his calves so nice? Don’t worry, we’ll tell you everything! Then, at 36:50, Abbie revisits the kidnapping and imprisonment of Natascha Kampusch who vanished on her way to school one morning in Vienna, Austria.

Not that you asked, but we've got movie reviews and brunch recommendations for you... also, some creepy stories, duh! At 5:20 Abbie tells us about the Moore family who left church one night in the sleepy town of Villisca, IA, only to be found brutally murdered just hours later. Then, Angela lightens the mood (not really) at 29:05, as she details the horrifying history of Joshua Ward's house in Salem, MA.

Then, at 29:15, Angela delves into one of the most famous missing persons case of our time: what exactly happened to Johnny Gosch and is he still alive?

This week we are lucky enough to have Abbie’s best friend Katie on with us! We’re talking reiki, spider nests and what stickers are not appropriate to have on your laptop in public. In today’s episode Katie is kind enough to share a very personal story about how she found out she was almost a twin and how that has played a part in her life since. Then we get into the very creepy ghost tour she took in Savannah, Georgia this past summer while attending a friend’s bachelorette party!

New year, same us. We talk Real Housewives and pilates and discuss all the resolutions we don’t have for 2018. At 7:40 Angela lists a few reasons, including creepy vans and demon dogs, not to find yourself alone at night on Buffalo Ridge Road in Cleves, OH. Then Abbie explains how the Monte Cristo Homestead in New South Wales, Australia became known as the most haunted house in the country (23:18). Spolier alert: this Victorian style manor may be beautiful now, but for a period of time it was ugly af on the inside.

Merry Christmas, betches! We hope Santa was good to you! Just kidding, there is no Santa. So, as you know, we're nothing if not cheerful here at Spookie Stuff and this week we've got a little holiday episode for you.

We’ve got an otherworldly episode for you this week! It’s extra (terrestrial) AF. But first things first: we discuss pot brownies, why it snows in the desert and the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars. At 09:02 Abbie investigates Travis Walton and exactly what it was he spent the better part of a week doing. Then, Angela takes us Down Under at 40:55 to explore the Gundiah Mackay alien abduction.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land (Kentucky), there lay an abandoned slaughterhouse in the woods. Complete with the creepiest basement ever, an old well filled with body parts and a portal to Hell, there is sure to be something for everyone here. Grab your hot toddy because at 17:40 Angela is going to tell us all about this haunted building, now known as Bobby Mackey’s Music World. Then, at 41:17, Abbie delves into the bizarre behavior and unsavory bond that existed between June and Jennifer Gibbons, nicknamed The Silent Twins.

Then, at 34:00, Abbie explains why you may not want to not buy a house in Albuquerque, New Mexico… unless, of course, you want to live near the West Mesa Bone Collector’s burial site.

Happy Holidays, betches! Grab your wine and light those fall scented candles! (We sure as fuck have.) Today we're throwing it way back to when and where Halloween originated and dive into stories about monsters, both real and imagined. Abbie explains the connection between Bram Stoker's Dracula and Vlad the Impaler (10:50) and at 39:30 Angela makes us play Bloody Mary and then gives us a little insight into just who the woman in the mirror may be.

So, like we’ve said n the past, everyday is a school day (especially here) and this episode might be our most informative yet. We sit down with religion teacher Tim Cronin and talk about angels, demons, hotel pools and even tickling… oh, yeah, and exacly what is in the box. Spoiler alert: it’s not JT’s dick. Sorry.

We’ve traded in our wine glasses for coffee mugs this morning because we are still recovering from all the birthdays we can’t remember celebrating this month. Oops.

In this special episode we sit down with our friend Cara to chat about the haunted house she stayed in several summers in a row. She tells us about their house ghost, her experience with energy work and why it's not always ideal to stay in the master bedroom.
