In this episode of Spirit Box, I sit down with Joshua Cutchin and Ryan Grulich to discuss their latest film project, The Lady of the Lake. The true crime documentary follows investigator Amanda Paulson and her team as they delve into the chilling case of Hallie Illingworth, a local woman who disappeared in 1937 and was found three years later in Lake Crescent under disturbing circumstances. Her body, eerily preserved with a soap-like texture, raised more questions than answers about what really happened to her. As Paulson's team digs deeper, they uncover unsettling truths about Hallie's tragic fate, revealing a history of violence and long-buried secrets. The investigation leads them beyond the mystery of Hallie's death, unraveling a web of disturbing stories that have remained hidden for decades and uncovering a horrifying truth about the lake's dark past and the fate of those who enter its depths.What I found particularly compelling about this project is how it challenges traditional true crime storytelling—rather than sensationalising the victim's fate, Joshua and Ryan emphasise her humanity, offering a narrative that is both deeply personal and powerfully unsettling. We also explore the film's folkloric and paranormal elements, discussing how myth-making shapes our understanding of places and events.Beyond The Lady of the Lake, our conversation expands into the broader theme of re-enchantment and cultural transformation. We discuss how Western society is slowly shifting away from rigid materialism towards a more spiritually integrated worldview—one where folklore, consciousness, and the unexplained are no longer dismissed but embraced as essential parts of our reality. This shift is something I've explored in many episodes, and here we consider how storytelling, film, and other media are playing a key role in rekindling a sense of mystery and wonder in the modern world. In the Plus Show, we take a deep dive into Joshua and Ryan's upcoming UFO documentary series. They share insights into how they're approaching the project, looking at UFO encounters not just as unexplained aerial phenomena but as events that have shaped human spirituality, belief systems, and cultural evolution. We talk about the challenges of tackling the extraterrestrial and interdimensional hypotheses, the reluctance of mainstream figures to engage with esoteric subjects.This was a fascinating conversation that weaves together true crime, folklore, and the unexplained, uncovering the deeper connections between these worlds. Tune in for an exploration of mystery, mythology, and the shifting tides of human consciousness.Show notes:Creepy Kingdom https://www.creepykingdom.comTrailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWnPTOcEZ-Q&t=76sJoshua Cutchin https://www.joshuacutchin.comLOTL on instagram https://www.instagram.com/theladyofthelakedoc/Keep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmasonMusic by Obliqka https://soundcloud.com/obliqka

In March of 2017, a 21-year-old woman headed back to her old West Palm Beach home to gather her belongings and move up to Buffalo, New York. But after having a conversation with her former roommate, they stabbed her to death, claiming to have been sleepwalking. But was that truly the case? Or was this premeditated murder? This is the story of Brooke Preston. BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

While the Haunted Mansion and the Tower of Terror offer up their unique assortment of ghoulish delights all throughout the year, Halloween brings out all of the ghosts and ghouls to ratchet up that spooky vibe. From the Mickey Mouse jack-o-lanterns on the Main Street lampposts to the foreboding fog that blankets the grounds of the Haunted Mansion, the Magic Kingdom is transformed into a Creepy Kingdom where the spirits of beyond can come out to play. But as they say, despite all of the spooky additions to be found in the parks at this time of year, there's always room for one more. And in this episode, that's just what we're going to do. We're going to put on our Imagineering cloaks and share our thoughts on even more Halloween haunting ideas that we would love to see at the parks. So join us…if you dare!
