Terrors of the Night

Imagine - you're in the deep woods, everything goes silent and the smell of rot overwhelms your nostrils. You hear your family member yelling for you, where are they? That's when you see a disgusting, rotting beast that stands 7ft tall coming for you and your flesh. In this episode we talk about Appalachian folklore and the terrifying wendigo along with a bit of history about the mountains themselves. I hope you enjoy!

Everyone's top priority when living alone is safety. Are the doors locked? Are the windows locked? Could someone easily break in? The community's security guards are on your side, right?

In this episode, Makenna tells the incredible story of Jennifer Morey and how she survived the worst night of her life. Cynthia also shares some exiting news in the beginning, too!

We are back with Edmund Kemper Part 2! In this episode, his psychology and astrology are discussed. Makenna details the odd Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalytical theory while Cynthia navigates Kemper's chart.

Santa Cruz, what a lovely place to settle down and raise a family. A perfect, quiet town with a local university and access to the beautiful pacific ocean. It sounds like paradise. Not everything is how it seems, though. The time has come. We've talked about the notorious Edmund Kemper in almost every episode, but we haven't detailed the atrocious nature of his crimes. In the 10th episode, we dive in and discuss in detail what he perceives to be the root of all his murders and murderous desires.

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SENSITIVE TOPICS: The content in this episode may deeply upset or disgust. Topics relating to grave robbing, head shrinking, mutilation to bodies, skinning, and cannibalism is some of the things discussed in this episode. Edward Gein is the definition of evil. His upbringing was the perfect storm for his actions, but something was always a little off within him. In this episode, we dive into his atrocities and along the way, we wish we had never heard his name. Makenna tells us about a band she discovered and Cynthia shares some of her music recommendations, too. Before we jump into Gein's life, we briefly explain the information behind the "rise in serial killers" theory hypothesized by author Peter Vronsky in his book Sons of Cain: a History of Serial Killers From the Stone Age to the Present.
