In 1922, Fred Oesterreich was found dead inside his Los Angeles home. His wife, Dolly Oesterreich, told police that an intruder had entered the house, taken Fred's life, and locked her in a closet before fleeing. At first, the story seemed plausible. Investigators soon discovered there was far more to the case than anyone imagined. As authorities dug deeper, they uncovered a secret that had allegedly remained hidden for years. Dolly had been involved in a long term relationship with Otto Sanhuber, a man who had secretly lived inside the attic of the family home. According to investigators, Otto remained concealed above the household for years, moving with the family and rarely being seen by anyone else. The investigation revealed a complicated web of relationships, conflicting statements, and questions surrounding Fred's death. As the case moved through the courts, prosecutors faced the unusual challenge of proving what had happened inside a home that concealed one of the most extraordinary secrets in criminal history. The Oesterreich case remains one of the strangest and most talked about cases of the twentieth century, blending deception, hidden identities, and a mystery that continues to fascinate true crime audiences today.

Growing up in a Colonial house built in the 1700s, Tori always assumed the place should have been haunted.The home had survived the Revolutionary War, fires, abandonment, and centuries of history. But despite the occasional strange feeling, nothing truly frightening ever happened there.Until one night after a vicious fight with her younger sister.Still furious, Tori stormed upstairs to her attic bedroom and sat alone trying to cool off. That's when she noticed something hovering near the open staircase beside her room.At first, it looked like a dense black cloud suspended in the air. Then it started moving. And the longer she stared at it, the more she became convinced the thing wasn't just watching her—it was feeding off the anger pouring out of her.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ShadowEntity #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #NegativeEnergy #SpiritEncounter #ColonialHouse #ParanormalExperienceLove real ghost stories?

On this episode of Talking Guitars, we remember legendary producer Jack Douglas, who has passed away at the age of 80. Throughout his incredible career, Douglas worked with some of rock's biggest names, including Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, John Lennon, Blue Öyster Cult, Patti Smith, and the New York Dolls. Born in the Bronx, New York, Douglas started out as a folk musician before attending the Institute of Audio Research and landing a job at the legendary Record Plant — first as a janitor, then quickly rising to become one of rock's most respected engineers and producers. Along the way, he contributed to classic recordings by The Who, Miles Davis, Alice Cooper, and many more. Douglas is perhaps best known for producing Aerosmith's classic albums Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks, Draw the Line, Rock in a Hard Place, Honkin' on Bobo, and Music from Another Dimension! He also engineered and co-produced landmark albums including John Lennon's Imagine, Double Fantasy, and Milk and Honey, while contributing to legendary records like The Who's Who's Next and Cheap Trick's self-titled debut album. His close relationship with Aerosmith even earned him the nickname “the sixth member” of the band, and his influence on rock music can still be heard today. Join us as we look back at the life, music, and legacy of one of rock's most influential producers.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Elizabeth Ziman of Elizabeth & the Catapult, and at the time of this conversation, she's about to release her new album. Now that the record is officially out in the world, we get to talk about everything that went into bringing it to life.We begin right at that moment, standing on the edge of a release. Elizabeth describes the feeling of finally letting go of a project after years of writing, recording, and refining, comparing it to sending something deeply personal out into the world and hoping it finds its place.From there, we dig into how this album differs from her past work. What started as scattered home recordings across multiple cities eventually became a deeply collaborative project, bringing together friends, choir members, and longtime collaborators. It's a record shaped not just by sound, but by movement, transition, and a desire to reconnect after a period of isolation.We also spend time talking about something that really resonates: the balance between perfectionism and letting go. Elizabeth shares how some songs took years to finish, while others were written and recorded quickly, and how learning to trust both processes has been a major part of her growth as an artist.There's also a fascinating conversation about the realities of being an independent artist today, the tension between creating meaningful work and navigating the demands of social media, promotion, and constant visibility. Elizabeth speaks candidly about that push and pull, and how she tries to stay grounded in what actually matters: the music and the connection it creates.One of my favorite moments in this episode is going full circle, talking about seeing her live back in 2009 at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta. That moment becomes a springboard into reflecting on a nearly 20-year career, and how her perspective on music has shifted from “this is hard” to “I get to do this.”We also explore her background, from classical piano and Manhattan School of Music competitions to Berklee, where she found her artistic voice and began collaborating with musicians like Esperanza Spalding. Along the way, we talk about film scoring, directing a women's choir, and the many creative paths that continue to shape her work.This is a conversation about evolution, perspective, and learning to hold both discipline and freedom at once.Key TakeawaysElizabeth Ziman's new album is now out, marking a deeply collaborative and expansive creative chapter.The project began as home recordings across multiple cities before evolving into a full studio production.Balancing perfectionism with spontaneity has become central to her songwriting process.The modern music landscape presents both opportunities and challenges, especially around visibility and promotion.Nearly 20 years into her career, her perspective has shifted toward gratitude and creative freedom.Her background in classical piano and Berklee continues to influence her work today.Collaborating across disciplines—film scoring, choir directing, and teaching—feeds her creativity.Music from the EpisodeResponsible Friend - Elizabeth and the Catapult50/50 - Elizabeth and the CatapultBored of Myself - Elizabeth and the CatapultI Love You Still - Elizabeth and the CatapultAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is my chance to sit down with musicians, songwriters, and creative artists for thoughtful conversations about their craft, their journey, and the experiences that shape the music we hear.Connect with the ShowEmail: contact@thebandwichtapes.com
Welcome to another episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast! In today’s episode, Michael Wienecke and Travis McGowin peel back the mask on one of nature’s most clever “bandits”: the raccoon. While these “trash pandas” might look cute from a distance, the duo discusses the gritty reality of dealing with them, from their human-like dexterity used to tear into roofs to the serious health risks like rabies and roundworm. Whether they are falling into living rooms or turning your attic into a “two-for-one” special with a side of fleas, you’ll learn why you definitely don’t want these vicious critters as roommates. Like us on Facebook! Podcast Transcript:Michael: So Travis, when’s the last time you were in your attic?Travis: Uh, a couple weeks ago actually. I was, uh, running some wiring for a new Wi-Fi internet system at my house.Michael: Okay, well I can guarantee that most of humanity is not running Wi-Fi throughout their attic in their – on their spare time. Uh, is that what you did?Travis: Oh, I’ll tell you, I will tell you that if most of humanity experienced Wi-Fi like I have at my house, they would.Michael: I mean we got mics dropping, you know, internet going down, you know, I – we gotta have somebody that – that knows what he’s doing. Anyway, we’re getting way off topic. Uh, well for the people that are not in their attic right now, what is – uh, what are we seeing a lot of, you know, things that are crawling around in attics right now? Besides squirrels – I mean we just did a podcast on squirrels, but what’s the other – uh, bandit that – uh, is getting in the house?Travis: I mean definitely the appropriate question should always be like, what’s living in your attic?Michael: Or in your crawl space.Travis: Or in your crawl space. That is – uh, definitely an area of concern with this particular – uh, nuisance wildlife, but – uh, you know, I’ll just go and say it, raccoons. I mean raccoons are something that you – I don’t know why that was funny.Michael: ‘Cause we drew it out so long before talking about it.Travis: Yeah, we did. It was like, kept everyone in suspense clearly.Michael: I hope the suspense was suspenseful.Travis: Uh, so they probably want to hear more about my Wi-Fi at my house, but anyway.Michael: But no, the raccoons are definitely something that you don’t want living in your home.Travis: Uh, it was funny, I was – this has been – uh, probably like two years ago or so, but I was sitting on the floor in the living room one evening, it was after 7:00, 7:30 in the evening, – uh, playing with my kids and my phone vibrated and there was a voicemail on our business line. And it was a lady in Montgomery who – uh, she – uh, had left a message saying that she needed desperate help because there was a raccoon in her living room at that very moment.Michael: Did it fall through the floor?Travis: Uh, I don’t really know the logistics of how the raccoon got into the living room. Uh, you ever see that commercial where the lady’s like calling to her cat in the yard but she doesn’t have her glasses on or whatever and she like lets the raccoon in? I don’t know if it was a situation like that.Michael: Anyway, so I looked at my wife and I’m like, you know, it’s after dark but I’m gonna call this lady back. So I did call her back, she had somebody on the way – uh, and I followed up with her the next morning and they actually did in fact somehow catch the raccoon. Uh, I don’t know what exactly method, you know, what method they used or anything like that. But – uh, not something that you want to tangle with. Michael, why don’t you elaborate on why raccoons might not be as cute and cuddly as people think?Michael: Uh, well they have – they’re just vicious. I mean they look so – they look like a little baby cat from really far away and they’re puffy and, you know, I – I kind of – I’m gonna refer back to that – uh, I believe it was in another country but the lady that went and took pictures of the – the wild cat that was in the mountains in the snow. She got mauled pretty bad. So something that looks cute and cuddly – uh, with fangs and – and claws and all that – uh, can do some major damage. So just stay away from ’em, especially if you’re seeing ’em in the daytime.Travis: Yeah, you know, I have had one try to eat me through a cage before after trapping it.Michael: I’ve had a lot try to eat me through the cage.Travis: It did – it did not look cute and cuddly as it was like snarling at me trying to tear me up through the cage.Michael: So – uh, I was sold right then on the belief that they’re not as cute and cuddly as everybody thinks they are.Travis: But aside from their looks, you know, one of the biggest problems with them is rabies. Uh, I like what you said a second ago about, you know, not toying with ’em if you see ’em in the daytime. Uh, that’s a kind of – definitely a telltale sign, you know, raccoons coming around humans is a telltale sign.Michael: Well there’s a couple situations in the daytime, you know, if – if you’ve got the neighbor feeding the raccoon constantly and it’s good food then that could bring ’em out in the daytime. Uh, we see some of that. And then the other one would be either, you know, just maybe some – some reason it got uprooted from wherever it was. But typically the daytime is not – is not the best time to see a nocturnal animal.Travis: I very rarely ever see them in the daytime.Michael: Uh, I’ve had some strange encounters with raccoons now that I think about it. But – uh, there was one morning we had got up, it was still kind of dark outside, we were letting our dogs out, we were getting the kids up, getting them ready for school. And I just remember hearing the dogs outside just going completely nuts. I’m talking about like, you knew something was going on. It wasn’t like a barking at the neighbor or something like that. So – uh, I went outside to see what was going on and our dog at the time was, I’m talking about losing his mind about a raccoon walking through the yard. And that raccoon did not show me any regard, didn’t even act like it knew I was there, didn’t act like it knew the dog was there. Uh, you know my dog was just several, you know, a few inches, a foot away maybe barking and growling and just, you know, acting crazy. And the raccoon did not even attempt to defend itself or anything. So I – I honestly thought that something maybe like rabies or something was going on with that raccoon. He – he was not concerned about our existence.Michael: Well and he probably would have won that fight against you or – uh, your dog.Travis: Absolutely he would have.Michael: My – that dog was very much all bark, no bite. So – uh, I don’t see him winning a – a scuffle with a raccoon.Travis: But it was – it was very alarming that morning that the raccoon just did not try to get away, didn’t run, didn’t fight back, didn’t do anything, just kind of slowly just was, you know, meandering through there and – and – uh, you know that was kind of a – a weird encounter. So definitely could have been rabies.Michael: They all have rabies Travis. Every single raccoon has rabies – I mean really that’s the way I just treat it. Like don’t let ’em scratch you, don’t let ’em bite you, no harm no foul and then – uh, you’re good to go. So – uh, let’s talk about just like squirrels, you know – uh, the main ways that they get into your attic, into your living space, – uh, you know all that kind of stuff. What – what are some ways they get in?Travis: Well first of all access is very, very, very important. Uh, or should I say not giving them access. It brings up – uh, one of the customers that I trapped a raccoon for – uh, that was in Montgomery a couple of years ago. So – uh, we – we knew that there was noises in the attic, they weren’t sure what they were. So I went up in the attic. When I saw the droppings of a raccoon, I immediately got out of the attic. Uh, because I’m not going to be in an enclosed space with a raccoon. It’s very likely that he was probably there at the time – uh, during the day anyway. So – uh, you know, I – I did my inspection and they had a couple of trees here and there that were close to the house that I kind of suspected that the raccoon was going up and down the trunk of the tree and getting over on the roof line.Michael: Uh, and so, you know, that’s – that’s a big one. Obviously raccoons – uh, are very smart.Travis: Physically they’re very, you know for their size they’re strong. Uh, they’ve got great dexterity with their hands. Uh, basically almost human-like dexterity with their hands. And so, you know, they – they – they can sniff out if there’s a gap that they can exploit or something that they can tear into, they can sniff it out. And access, taking away that access is one huge – uh, advantage that you have as a homeowner in making sure that you don’t end up with one in your attic or your crawl space.Michael: Well and I like how you said too, I mean with the – with the dexterity of the human-like appendages, you know, they can tear shingles right out. Uh, we’ve seen holes in roofs, we’ve seen – uh, you had one – I think you had a really good picture of one that tore off a – a vent on a roof and was getting in through the vent.Travis: That was the house that I was just referencing. Uh, yeah there was – uh, you know some people refer to them like mushroom vents or whatever but there was a – an attic vent on top of the roof.Michael: And – uh, I did not 100% know that that was the access point up until we actually trapped him inside of the attic. So we live trapped him in the attic and then I removed him and then really got to wondering okay, well where did he come in at?Travis: And that was where I got back in the attic looking and found a stud that was helping support, you know, the structure of the roof and it had claw marks just tearing it up up and down.Michael: And right above that stud was that vent with the – the screen torn out of it.Travis: Mhm. Well and – uh, probably the bat screen?Michael: Uh, yeah just general wildlife screen and – and there’s actually a good picture of that on our website if anybody wants to go – uh, and look at Pesky’s Pest Control dot com under our wildlife page for raccoon and you’ll see there’s a – a side-by-side photo showing the inside view and the outside view and from the outside you would have never known at all.Travis: So it was pretty – pretty neat find there.Michael: But yeah they’re man, if they find a – if they find a gap, crack, crevice they can exploit they’ll do it.Travis: Well and they have all night too because I mean they’re sitting there while we’re sleeping and they’re – they’re up and spright and ready to go.Michael: So they have all night to work on that, you know, corner of your roof line or the gable vent or – or – you know – uh, a gap between where the – uh, soffit and the fascia meet. You know, what – whatever it could be they have all night and multiple nights to work on it.Travis: Right. Uh, yeah they – they’ve got nothing but time. I mean their – their existence is one of, you know, food, water, shelter just like most anything, any insect, any wildlife that we deal with those are their three priorities.Michael: Uh, and they would prefer to live in your attic. Uh, it was actually kind of crazy on that one. So there was one corner of the attic close to the eaves of the house where – uh, I don’t know if that was its, you know, latrine bathroom area, whatever it was that the raccoon had going on.Travis: But directly below that area in the attic in the living space of the house, the customer’s dog had started to – if it had access to that bedroom it would go into that towards that wall which was right below that and start to scratch and destroy the sheetrock. Like the – the dog was scratching and gnawing and trying to get at the sheetrock because it could smell it above it in the attic.Michael: Wow was it a chimney void that it was getting into or how was it getting in the house?Travis: No that was – that was the one that was just getting on the vent – uh, in – you know, getting on the roof using the tree and limbs to get over and going in but there was something that raccoon was using that corner of the attic for and the dog could smell it – uh, and did not like it clearly.Michael: Well the other great thing about getting raccoons and I mean this in a sarcastic way is it’s a two-for-one ’cause a lot of times when you get raccoons in an attic you also get what? Fleas.Travis: Oh and not just – I mean there’s so many other wildlife – uh, issues that you can have that they – you know, that bring fleas – I mean rats, – uh, possums carry fleas – I mean there’s – there’s so many. Uh, but yeah I mean that’s like a buy one get one free kind of deal that you didn’t ask for, you know.Michael: Oh that happened last year, a raccoon died in someone’s attic and – and it – it brought they had a flea infestation throughout their whole house we had to take care of as well as get the raccoon out of the – out of the attic space. Let’s talk about the damage that they do inside, you know, with the – the – the pooping and the peeing. They’re just nasty creatures.Travis: I mean they’re – they’re going through – uh, I – you know, before we were talking about this podcast I think you said trash panda which is, you know, a great – great – uh, term for a – a raccoon because that’s what they do.Michael: It’s purely affectionate. It’s a purely affectionate term because I love ’em so much.Travis: Well that’s what they do, they get in the trash cans and so let’s talk about that for a minute, you know, make sure that you’re cleaning up around the house. If you’re having a barbecue that weekend make sure you’re not leaving it out, over especially this time of year because they are itching to get into inside your home. So make sure that you’re kind of picking up around not leaving anything that’s going to be a good food source for them to get around that property. But again the – the droppings, you know, they – they poop a lot and it can be – it can be pretty nasty.Michael: Well the droppings themselves – uh, can have a parasite. Uh, if you look it up it’s, you know, raccoon roundworm. Uh, they – they have a parasite and, you know, if – if you were to inhale it – uh, the eggs or inhale the parasite you can get severe neurological damage. So – uh, if you’re going to have to deal with those droppings you might want to wear a respirator. Just my two cents.Travis: Look if you’re going into a – an enclosed area, crawl space, attic, – uh, an – an old barn, put a respirator on. I mean you only got one set of lungs and that’s what I tell everyone that starts at Pesky’s Pest Control, you got one set of lungs so let’s – let’s keep ’em the way that they’re supposed to be.Michael: Well and you know, one last thing about raccoons, I mean, you know, they’re – like you said they’re nasty. They do damage property but think about the other damage that they’re doing in your attic despite their – their waste.Travis: I mean there is – there is certainly risk of chewing electrical wiring, – uh, you know doing that sort of thing, damaging your HVAC ductwork, – uh, messing up your insulation. Uh, I mean there’s just there’s a whole plethora of – of problems they can cause up there.Michael: Yeah. Hey actually really cool while we’re doing this podcast, I am actually just got a text, we’re heading to a customer’s house to set a raccoon trap to catch a raccoon getting in someone’s chimney.Travis: Very good. Well – uh, we’ll – we’ll take it – uh, we’ll take it from there and – uh, we hope you catch him.Michael: Oh we will catch him.

His latest, Soundtrack, explores the life of teenagers busking great music in New York subway stations. It is also about the fact that even though we are born into a family that never leaves us, our chosen family of friends is just as important. Funny, gritty and brilliantly written, this is a book that brings to you all the sights and smells of New York City, both above and underground. Jason speaks so beautifully also about writing and the importance of reading…well, we got addicted to just listening to him. Join us and you will see why.

Track-By-Track Album Battle Aerosmith Toys In The Attic Vs. Rocks
Some places stay with you long after you leave them.Growing up in a quiet home surrounded by land, there was nothing outwardly unusual about the house itself. But one room always felt different—hard to explain, but impossible to ignore. Even as a child, it stood out in a way that made it difficult to feel comfortable.At the time, it was just a feeling. Something you move past, especially when there's no clear reason to question it.But over the years, that sense of unease didn't fade the way you might expect. If anything, it became more defined—tied to specific memories, specific moments, and something that never quite made sense.And even now, long after leaving that house behind, it's not the place itself that lingers—it's the feeling that something from that room never really stayed there.#RecurringDreams #HauntedMemory #ChildhoodFear #LingeringPresence #ParanormalDreams #EmotionalHaunting #UnresolvedExperience #SenseOfBeingWatched #AtmosphericHorror #LongTermHaunting #SubtleParanormal #MemoryThatSticks Love real ghost stories?

"Flowers in the Attic" RevisitedOh, brother...and sister. Yes, back in 1987, there was plenty of pearl clutching when the film adaptation of V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic hit the screen. For better or worse, the PG-13 flick toned down the incestuous vibes of the novel. Back then, it was mostly for worse. Critics and audiences were turned off. But now, decades later, was the subtler approach the right choice? Is Corrine the worst movie mom ever? And how grey should a kid get before bringing him to a doctor? The Old Roommates head up to the attic and discuss it all through their middle-aged lens. Grab a dusty cookie and join them!Follow Old Roommates on social media @OldRoommates for bonus content and please give us a rating or review!#FlowersintheAttic #LouiseFletcher #KristySwanson #VCAndrews
We chat with Tonda Ros (Dogubomb) one year after the release of his genre-blending room-drafting puzzlebox sensation, Blue Prince. Our discussion covers Tonda's year as the game's representative in the world; his inspirations across digital, analog, and tabletop works; cultivating player appreciation for virtual spaces; managing player hunches through playtesting; balancing lore with puzzle mechanics; comparing game development with filmmaking; and so! much! more! Kind of like the game itself, we just keep going.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (4.7) Breaking news! Fires everywhere in SoCal! There was an arson-sparked warehouse fire last night in Ontario that burned 1 million square feet of highly flammable Kimberly-Clark products, allegedly caused by a disgruntled employee. In addition, a fire at a 24,000 square foot mansion in Beverly Crest, plus the iconic Magic Castle in Hollywood also suffered a fire. There were around 100 firefighters on the scene at the mansion fire. New details about the miraculous 48-hour mission to rescue the downed US airmen trapped behind enemy lines in Iran. In 1995, an airman from the US Airforce was ejected from his craft at 800 miles an hour 3,000 miles above the water — and lived to tell the tale. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Brian, the strange experiences didn't start in adulthood. According to his family, unusual things had surrounded him since he was very young. But a few of the moments he remembers most clearly happened when he was about nineteen while staying overnight at his aunt's house in Middle Georgia.One morning while the house was quiet, he went upstairs to spend a few minutes on the computer. A short time later, he began hearing voices nearby that sounded like a man and a woman arguing. The voices seemed to be coming from his aunt's bedroom down the hall—a room that should have been locked and empty.As he leaned closer to try to understand what he was hearing, something happened that immediately changed the situation.And according to other family members, that house had a long history of strange activity.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ParanormalEncounters #ShadowFigures #UnexplainedVoices #GhostEncounters #SupernaturalStories #ParanormalPodcast #ScaryStories #HauntedHomes #GhostStory Love real ghost stories?

Without warning, when Fred turns around he's face to face with a man he knew a decade ago, back in Milwaukee, and he's holding two pistols.
