The world of the ooky spooky doesnât belong to cryptids, ghosts and aliens alone. Turns out, we humans are pretty spooky, too, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. The heart is synonymous with love and the soul. But what would happen If you received the heart of someone else? Would you still be you? Is it possible that youâd take on traits and attributes from your donor? Sounds crazy, right? Turns out, your cells might hold on to memories, and should you ever need an organ, those memories may become yours. This week, weâre digging into science and learning the ins and outs of heart transplants. Weâll hear insane stories from the families of heart donors and recipients and learn that thereâs clearly so much more to learn about our incredible bodies and the cells that weâre made of. Happy Haunting!

It's a most joyous occasion, coven! Your two favorite witches are reunited and recording together at last... and we are joined very briefly by 2 guests who will only make you appreciate our charm and wit even more! This week we have a great roundup of all the strangeness happening in the world. From UFOs and whatever the underwater version of a UFO is, to a plethora of true crime updates, to one of our favorite past times (making fun of Hilary Baldwin saying cucumber,) we have lots to talk about. And the tenacity and bravery to continue having the important conversations, even when we're targeted by advanced government tech that cut our power part-way through the episode, is nothing short of exemplary. It's full of excitement, drama, and spookiness, and you don't want to miss it!

The days are getting longer, the weather is getting nicer, and the summer season is fast approaching. But as you prepare to travel and spend time adventuring in your local forests- heed these cautionary tales of the creatures that lurk in the dark. This week, we're covering not one, but TWO classic American cryptids. First, we'll learn about the Flatwoods Monster, spotted in West Virginia in 1950. When a mom and a group of teens followed a bright light streaking across the sky, they could not have anticipated what they would find. Next, we'll travel up to Dover, Massachusetts where a creepy creature was spotted repeatedly in 1977. Of course Joe Nickell has simple explanations, but we don't buy them for a second. Tune in to this week's episode and decide for yourself!

This week, everyone's "good thing" is going to be that Halee went to UFO Fest and has returned to delight us with her findings. Shocker - aliens are real. Duh! We'll hear compelling firsthand accounts from military whistleblower Ryan Graves, and best of all, we'll get Jessiah's take on all things spooky. In the news, we'll hear about witches and warlocks duking it out (aka, old people being taken advantage of.) We'll learn that cheese mongers don't just specialize in cheese, but also defend themselves with it, and we'll get some pressing updates about past stories. There's all that and more in our weekly news update. Happy Haunting!

In 1959, the town of Holcomb, Kansas was a quiet farming community. People left their doors unlocked because nothing really bad ever happened there. But all that changed on November 15 when the Clutter family was found brutally murdered inside their two-story farmhouse. The motive wasnât clear. Was it a revenge killing? A robbery gone wrong? Maybe a serial killer? Detectives sifted through hundreds of tips before receiving a call from a prison inmate who claimed he knew who killed the Clutters. Truman Capote read an article about the murders in the New York Times and decided he needed to tell the story in his own words. Over the next five years, heâd immerse himself in the community of Holcomb and try to understand the mind of a killer. In doing so, he formed unexpected friendships and created what he called the first non-fiction novel. âIn Cold Bloodâ was published to wide acclaim, but it didnât come without its own set of drawbacks. Capote would never be the same, and neither would Holcomb. Tune in to learn how this gruesome tragedy helped shaped the true crime genre as we know it. Happy haunting!

Happy Friday, coven! This week takes us on a wild adventure. We have animal travel - cats being shipped and dogs flying on airplanes. Speaking of airplanes, did y'all know there are people in charge of coordinating caskets flying across the world and sometimes they mess up their job?! We delve into the true crime world, with an abduction (and thankful recovery) of a 10 month old baby, and the disappearance and murder of 3 surfers in Mexico. This week sadly also brings about another pedophile teacher and continues to reaffirm our thoughts that the safest place to be is sitting on your couch. Before things get too dark, we'll talk about some of our fave cryptids including Ogopogo, Bigfoot, and Cheeseball Man. We've got something for everyone this week, so be sure to tune in!

Coven, this week is a big one for halee and Lisey. It's rare that we're wrong... and it's even more rare that we would admit that we're wrong. But this week we may just be ready to admit that we were wrong about orbs! After hearing a spooky and intriguing tale, halee took a deep dive into orbs and found that the blurry 'orb' photos we see online are truly misrepresenting this fascinating phenomenon. In today's episode we'll take a trip all around the world to hear about spooklights, will-o'-the-wisps, and all kinds of mysterious lights with possibly otherworldly origins. Are they the spirits of deceased loved ones, trying to communicate? Are they portals to another dimension? Are they the bellies of owls who have consumed too much bioluminescent fungi? Tune in and you be the judge!

Do you dream of finding old bones? Have you ever thought about joining your favorite podcast on a bone hunting expedition? Does the mere thought give you a boner? Dude, same. Maybe one day. In the meantime, join us as we uncover the latest bone-chilling, ooky spooky news. Okay, enough bone puns. They're not humerus. STOP. This week we'll talk about a potential human sacrifice made to a family of sasquatch, pirate bones uncovered in the UK, the world's worst niece who brought her dead uncle to the bank and potential AI imagery used in a true crime documentary. Halee has her tarot read fireside on the beach and learns she's destined to remain the bad bitch that she is. Happy haunting!

Where today stands a charming tourist town, Jerome, Arizona was once the "wickedest town in America." Bordellos and saloons served up drinks and disease to the miners who frequented them. And when the mines inevitably became too much, the smelter spit them out with the trash - literally. Jerome's streets run red with blood, harboring memories of the past in every nook and corner. We'll uncover ghosts inside the Connor and Grand Hotel, formerly the United Verde Hospital. Elise provides her own on the ground research after enjoying an ooky spooky ghost tour inside Jerome's very own cemetery. Tune in to learn all about America's "first ghost city" and learn why Jerome holds a special place in Elise's heart. Happy Haunting!

It's hard to Live, Laugh, Love when there's just so much bullshit going on, Coven! Ruby Franke's husband claims Jodi Hildebrandt is actually possessed by the devil. Don't do Satan dirty like that! Rogue sasquatches turn out to be really tall runners who move more fluidly than most? And slippery thieves pelt bananas at a helpless attendant (who we'll discover isn't so helpless through the help of a little reading comprehension.) Things get a bit frisky as we uncover reports of shaved cats in the UK, and a rogue saw blade reminds us all that death is truly lurking around every corner. Happy Haunting!

In the late 1970s, a strange group of folks arrived on Vashon Island, WA. Seemingly overnight, 60 men, women and children set up military tents and portapotties and got to work transforming 58 acres of pristine coastal forest into a religious commune. Under the direction of their charismatic leader Lou, and his surly wife Mary Lou, the Wesleyan Cult built homes and a life for their community on their private compound. Rumors swirled around town as islanders wondered what this new group was up to. As we find out this week, it was much weirder and more sinister than anyone could've imagined.
In this week's episode, we have the absolute honor and privilege of interviewing Deb Donner, survivor of the Wesleyan Cult. Deb will walk us through her experience with the cult from the beginnings of the group, to the cult fleeing Illinois and arriving on Vashon, all the way to her courageous escape. Please join us in bearing witness to Deb's incredible story of survival and strength.

Coven, this is the week of people on their worst behavior! Starting with a modern day witch and her crystal ball (of meth) and ending with a variable potpourri of the worst parents weâve ever heard of, our faith in humanity may be wavering. We learn about Eliseâs pedo high school teacher using AI to victimize children, and we get updates on a few recent stories weâve covered. Before things get too dark, we revisit a trusted favorite- our dearest Bigfoot. You know Elise is excited. Tune in for all that and more on this weekâs news roundup!

On August 2nd, 2006, Robert Eric Wone was stabbed to death in the Washington, D.C. row home of a dear friend. What was first reported as a random crime inflicted by an intruder unfolded into something much more sinister. As detectives worked to piece together a strange and confounding puzzle, every piece they uncovered seemed to reveal more questions than answers. This week, we talk about the senseless and tragic loss of Robert's life, and offer up our theories as to what really happened that night. Grab a glass of Kimmy and help us crack this mystery!

We're not the only shit show this week, Coven. There's a veritable smorgasbord of shit in the news, and conspiracy theories are at the forefront. Across the pond, the Royal Family is missing its most beautiful member - Princess Kate. Is she alive? Is there a divorce looming? Is she simply taking time to improve her photoshop skills? Who can say. The conspiracies are more nefarious on this side of the pond, with a Boeing whistleblower supposedly killing himself mere days before his deposition. Self-inflicted gunshot wound? Doubtful. Scott Peterson is once again trying to prove his innocence, and he's not the only pig making headlines. One Kevin Bacon was found prowling the streets in search of doughnuts and marshmallows. Will he find them? There's all that and more in this week's news update! Happy Haunting!

"Do you guys ever think about dying?" Why, yes, just all day every day. Turns out, only 11 percent of the population is as obsessed with mortality as we are, but we know you're on the same page, Coven. No one can truly say what happens after you die, but a select few have an idea. Near Death Experiences have captivated the minds of supernatural and scientific alike for years. Some say it's the brain's way of coping before its demise, others think it's a look into the afterlife. (We're obviously here for the magic.) This week, we're going to hear from six different people who came close to death and lived to tell the tale. We'll talk to an EMT who gets a gut feeling when someone isn't going to make it. We'll hear from a young woman who was nearly paralyzed in a rodeo accident. And we'll talk to our dear friend Katie who nearly died in a head-on collision, but someone in the car told her to turn the wheel. Was it an angel? Spirit guide? Intuition? Who can really say? Tune in to decide for yourself. Happy Haunting!

Happy March, Coven! With a new month comes plenty of new strangeness. In Europe, we have a submerged stone wall that's at least 10,000 years old, and a tree-tossing mom risking it all for glory. In the northeast, we have halee's dream scenario- bigfoot prints in the Hudson Valley! And some excitement as our favorite hairy cryptid is coming to the big screen soon. We'll talk about haunted homes, a pregnant stingray (thanks immaculate conception?) and the scariest thing of all- mommy bloggers. All that and more when you tune in for this week's weirdness!

Dearest coven, today marks an important milestone for EBC⊠our 100th episode! To celebrate, weâre taking it back to the beginning of Elise and Haleeâs friendship and covering the mystery/true crime(?) story that started it all! On August 1st, 2018, Samantha Sayers left her Seattle apartment to climb Vesper Peak in the Cascade mountain range. Sam was a relatively experienced hiker who loved Seattle for its easy access to the great outdoors. She signed her name in a log book at the trail head, was seen summiting the mountain by several witnesses, and then virtually disappeared. A heroic search and rescue effort began, âSamâs Armyâ rallied on Facebook, but no sign of Sam. It wasnât long before the conspiracy theories started to pop up, as folks wondered how in this day and age someone could seemingly vanish into thin air. This week weâll share our hot takes on Samâs disappearance, her partnerâs strange behavior, and the marvel that is Mother Nature. Come help us celebrate episode 100 and untangle this strange and tragic tale!

It's a dog eat dog world out there, folks. And the proof is in the pudding because this week we're talking about rabid coyotes and mutant wolves. The former are biting hikers, while the latter just may be saving the world from cancer. You can thank Chernobyl for that. (Actually, thank science.) Sadly, not everyone is so advanced. Texas hands out a measly 180-day jail sentence for a husband-induced abortion. Parents are dealt the swift hand of justice on behalf of their children's deadly choices, and a 12-year-old boy is failed by counselors at a North Carolina therapy camp. Heavy. On the lighter side, fire demons appear in Chile, ghosts of grandmas past appear in nurseries and Rachel Dolezal is grifting on Only Fans. Saved the scariest for last. There's all that and more in this week's news update. Happy Haunting!

On July 17, 1980, electrical workers outside of Anchorage uncovered the badly decomposed body of a woman buried in a shallow grave. She became known as Eklutna Annie and was the first in a series of murders to sweep across Southcentral Alaska. Sex workers started disappearing at an alarming rate. Was there a serial killer on the loose or were these vulnerable young women simply choosing to move on? As the bodies started to pile up and shell casings from a .223 rifle appeared at every crime scene, it was clear a deranged man with a lust for blood was on the loose. That man was Robert Hansen, the town baker. With a long history of arson, theft and abduction under his belt, Hansen was no stranger to darkness. His deep-seated resentment toward women resulted in a slew of gruesome murders that continue to haunt the Matanuska Valley to this day. We'll discuss Hansen's past, uncover how he was so easily able to murder so many women and memorialize the victims who tragically lost their lives to a monster. This one hits a little too close to home for Elise. It's a long walk home through the dark Alaskan night. Happy haunting!

Happy February, coven! We made it through what can only be described as the longest month of all time! And it turns out that even in February, weirdness abounds. This week we travel from possible historic wreckage on the ocean floor, to justice in the sky as the perv flight attendant finally gets criminally charged. Speaking of justice, we're happy to report on both an influencer and murderer who were held accountable this week too! We'll hear about the devil spontaneously shattering a violin, mysterious deaths in Kansas City, and some pretty compelling survey data that suggests you all want to believe (in UFOS) just as much as we do! Tune in for your weekly roundup of all things weird and wonderful.
