Gashadokuro - Born from the bones of those who died from starvation and left unburied, the Gashadokuro are massive skeletal yokai that tower fifteen to ninety feet tall, hunting humans in the dead of night with an insatiable hunger that can never be satisfied. Their approach is heralded by the sound of rattling bones—gachi gachi gachi—and their victims are crushed, devoured, and sometimes absorbed into the creature's ever-growing skeletal form. freakyfolklore.com #Gashadokuro #JapaneseFolklore #Yokai #FreakyFolklore #JapaneseHorror #StarvingSkeletons #BodyHorror CONTENT WARNING This episode of Freaky Folklore contains disturbing content that may not be suitable for all listeners, including: Extreme body horror and gore Graphic descriptions of cannibalism and consumption Descriptions of mass starvation and death Visceral violence and dismemberment Descriptions of mass graves and historical atrocities Listener discretion is strongly advised.

On December 4, 1969, a pre-dawn police raid at 2337 West Monroe Street in Chicago left 21-year-old Black Panther leader Fred Hampton dead. Authorities called it a shootout. Evidence later suggested something far more deliberate.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom examines the assassination of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party and a rising national leader targeted under the FBI's COINTELPRO program. We break down the role of informant William O'Neal, the alleged drugging of Hampton, the 99 shots fired during the raid, and the 13-year legal battle that exposed federal coordination with local law enforcement.But this story goes beyond one night.We explore Hampton's Rainbow Coalition, his community programs like the Free Breakfast Program, and why multiracial, working-class solidarity was viewed as a threat by powerful institutions. This episode also connects the political climate of the 1960s — including the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War protests, and urban uprisings — to ongoing conversations about government surveillance, police violence, and state power today.Was this a tragic raid gone wrong or a calculated political execution?The truth always leaves a trail.If you're interested in true crime, political history, FBI surveillance, civil rights, and the psychology of state violence, this episode is essential listening.

Beneath the sun-baked streets of Palermo, Sicily, over a thousand mummified bodies line the walls of an underground cemetery where the dead were never meant to disappear—they were meant to be seen, visited, and remembered. Dressed in their finest clothes, pinned upright in stone alcoves, and arranged by gender, profession, and social class, the residents of the Capuchin Catacombs have been watching visitors for over four hundred years. And some visitors swear the dead are watching back. https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror #CapuchinCatacombs #Palermo #Sicily #Mummies #Catacombs #Italy #HorrorPodcast #DestinationTerror #RosaliaLombardo #SleepingBeauty #MementoMori #DarkTourism #MacabreHistory EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!

Jeffrey Epstein bewegte sich über Jahrzehnte in den höchsten gesellschaftlichen Kreisen – im Umfeld von Milliardären, Politikern, Wissenschaftlern und Mitgliedern des Hochadels. Gleichzeitig begleiteten ihn schon früh Berichte über junge Frauen und Mädchen, über Grenzüberschreitungen, sexuellen Missbrauch und Menschenhandel … und über unzählige Hinweise, die nie konsequent verfolgt wurden. Durch die aktuellen Entwicklungen in dem Fall gewinnen wir heute mehr denn je den Eindruck, dass Einfluss und Macht stärker sind als Wahrheit und dass wir vor dem Gesetz eben doch nicht alle gleich sind. Trotz unzähliger Zeugenaussagen und erdrückenden Beweisen, bleiben rechtliche Konsequenzen bis heute aus … und die Leidtragenden kämpfen noch immer in einem erbitterten Kampf, David gegen Goliath, so scheint es, für Gerechtigkeit. Diese Serie untersucht, wie Epstein seine Macht erlangte, seine Netzwerke aufbaute und wie Entscheidungen im Justizsystem, sein Handeln über Jahre hinweg ermöglichten. Wir hören hier eine Geschichte über Einfluss, über Ungleichheit vor dem Gesetz und über die Frage, wie es sein kann, dass die Stimmen tausender Frauen so viele Jahre lang ungehört blieben. Bevor Jeffrey Epstein als verurteilter Sexualstraftäter weltweit bekannt wurde, war er vor allem eines: ein Mann mit außergewöhnlichem Zugang. Zu Vermögen. Zu Institutionen. Und zu Menschen, die selbst Macht ausübten. Doch woher kam dieser Zugang? Wer öffnete ihm die Türen – und wer profitierte davon? In dieser Folge zeichnen wir nach, wie aus einem ehemaligen Lehrer eine Figur wurde, deren Einfluss größer wirkte als ihre erklärbare Biografie und wie es dieser Einfluss schaffte, den zentralen Schutzmechanismus des amerikanischen Rechtsstaats außer Kraft zu setzen. Glossar: Folgt in Kürze - bitte fragt auch gerne nach Begriffen. Diese können dann nachträglich von uns ergänzt werden. :) Korrektur: Achtung, Achtung, es hat sich der Fehlerteufel eingeschlichen! Epstein war vieles, aber sicherlich kein Zeitreisender. Sein erstes eigenes Unternehmen gründete er 1982, nicht 1882. ;) Hier wird dir geholfen: Hilfetelefon Gewalt gegen Frauen: https://www.hilfetelefon.de Hilfetelefon Gewalt gegen Männer: https://www.maennerhilfetelefon.de Telefonseelsorge: https://www.telefonseelsorge.de ***ANZEIGE*** Alle Infos zu unseren Kooperationspartnern: https://linktr.ee/podcaststimmenimkopf KoRo: Mit unserem Code STIMMENIMKOPF erhaltet ihr bei Koro 5% Rabatt auf euren Einkauf.

In January 1923, the Black town of Rosewood, Florida was surrounded, burned, and erased after a white woman accused a Black man of assault—an accusation never proven and never investigated. Over the course of several days, white mobs hunted residents, destroyed homes and churches, and forced families to flee into swamps and forests to survive. When it was over, Rosewood no longer existed—and no one was held accountable.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom examines the Rosewood Massacre, one of the most devastating and least discussed acts of racial violence in American history. We break down how false accusations, racial hysteria, and government inaction led to the destruction of an entire Black community, why official death tolls never matched survivor testimony, and how the state of Florida failed to protect its own citizens.This episode is part of a Black History Month series exploring violence against Black Americans, alongside the Tulsa Race Massacre, the murder of Emmett Till, and the assassination of Fred Hampton. Though Rosewood was buried for decades, survivors eventually forced the truth into the light—leading to a rare moment of accountability when Florida acknowledged its role and paid reparations.Follow and join the conversation:

In this episode, Brittany Ransom investigates the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the deadliest and most deliberately obscured acts of racial violence in American history. What happened in Greenwood, often called Black Wall Street, was not a riot, it was a coordinated assault that left as many as 300 Black residents dead, more than 35 city blocks destroyed, and over 10,000 people homeless.Early reports falsely minimized the devastation. Decades later, survivor testimony and official investigations revealed a very different truth: white mobs looted and burned Greenwood block by block, while airplanes flew overhead, dropping incendiary devices and firing into the neighborhood. Homes, churches, schools, hospitals, and businesses were reduced to ashes in less than two days.More than 1,200 homes were burned, with property losses exceeding $1.5 million in 1921—the equivalent of tens of millions today. Insurance companies refused to pay claims. Families were forced into Red Cross tents through the winter. City officials worked to bury the evidence and erase the crime from public memory.This episode confronts the uncomfortable reality that the perpetrators were never held accountable, and asks what it means when a mass killing goes unpunished.Follow and join the conversation:

Every time a Black person is killed, the lie arrives faster than the facts.He had a gun. He was high. She was threatening.In this alternative episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom steps away from a traditional case to examine a pattern that stretches from Emmett Till to the present day and why the phrase “they're killing Americans now” is landing as confirmation, not concern, for Black Americans and other marginalized communities.This episode explores how state violence has historically been justified through dehumanization, fear, and selective citizenship. From Indigenous displacement and slavery to policing, internment, mass detention, and modern use-of-force narratives.Drawing on history, law, and the warnings of James Baldwin, this episode asks a difficult but necessary question: Who is recognized as fully human, and when does injustice finally “count”?This is not about partisanship. It's about citizenship, power, and the cost of a system that teaches itself how to look away.Content warning: This episode discusses state violence, racism, and historical trauma.Sources for this episode include U.S. Supreme Court decisions, federal legislation, Department of the Interior reports, and the work of James Baldwin, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Michelle Alexander, Erika Lee, and other historians and legal scholars.Follow and join the conversation:

In 1981, during the height of the War on Drugs, police raided a San Francisco apartment expecting a major drug dealer. Instead, they found a grandmother in an apron baking brownies.Her name was Mary Jane Rathbun, later known as Brownie Mary, a woman whose arrest would help change how America viewed medical marijuana, the AIDS crisis, and compassion under the law.As young men died alone in hospital wards during the 1980s AIDS epidemic, Mary broke the law to feed, comfort, and care for patients no one else would touch. Her quiet rebellion challenged the criminalization of cannabis, exposed the cruelty of drug policy, and helped pave the way for medical marijuana legalization in the United States.This episode explores the life, motivations, and legacy of Brownie Mary, and asks a deeper true-crime question: What happens when the system treats compassion like a crime?Because sometimes the most extreme crimes aren't committed by monsters but by people the law refuses to understand.Follow and join the conversation:

In the Scottish Highlands, where winter fog rolls through glen and moor like the breath of sleeping giants, ancient stone circles serve as doorways for the Seelie Court's darker cousins—creatures that emerge when the mist is thickest and the boundary between worlds grows thin as morning frost. https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror #DestinationTerror #ScottishHighlands #StoneCircles #WinterMist #ScotlandHorror #CelticTerror #ScottishLegends #HorrorPodcast #ScaryStories #Podcast #SupernaturalHorror #CreepyPasta #FolkHorror #CelticFolklore #WinterHorror #MonsterStories #TeenHorror #ShortHorrorStory
This episode contains in depth discussion of infanticide, postpartum psychosis, suicide, and severe mental illness. Listener discretion is advised.In 2001, Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a case that shocked the nation and was quickly labeled as one of the most horrific crimes in American history. But what if the story most people remember is incomplete?In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, host Brittany Ransom revisits the Andrea Yates case with updated medical, legal, and psychological context focusing not on shock value, but on what the system missed before the tragedy ever occurred.Andrea Yates suffered from severe postpartum psychosis, a rare but life-threatening psychiatric condition that causes hallucinations, delusions, and a complete break from reality. She had a long, documented history of mental illness, multiple hospitalizations, suicide attempts, and explicit medical warnings not to be left alone, not to stop medication, and not to have more children. Those warnings were ignored.This episode breaks down:The warning signs of postpartum psychosis and why it is a psychiatric emergencyHow religious extremism and untreated mental illness collidedWhy Andrea Yates's first trial resulted in a wrongful convictionHow misinformation in court influenced a juryWhat changed after her acquittal by reason of insanity and what still hasn'tWhy women with postpartum psychosis are still more likely to be incarcerated than treatedMore than two decades later, Andrea Yates remains confined to a state psychiatric hospital. Her case is now taught in medical schools and cited in maternal mental health advocacy yet many of the same systemic failures remain.This is not a story about a monster. It's a story about untreated illness, institutional failure, and a tragedy that unfolded in plain sight.Because when systems fail, the truth always leaves a trail.Follow and join the conversation:
