In Part Two of our series on the infamous "Black" Donnellys, tensions in Biddulph Township continue to spiral as old rivalries turn increasingly violent. With accusations flying, loyalties tested, and the Donnelly family's reputation growing more notorious by the day, it's becoming harder to separate fact from fiction. As we follow the family through another turbulent chapter, we'll uncover shocking confrontations, retaliation, and the events that pushed an already divided community even closer to the breaking point. And just when we thought we were nearing the end of their story, we realized there was still far more left to uncover.
Join us as we continue exploring one of Canada's most fascinating and enduring true crime legends.

This week on Extra Credit, we begin with heartbreaking breaking news out of rural Ohio, where four adults have been arrested after sixteen children, ranging from very young to 18 years old, were discovered living in deplorable conditions. With many questions still unanswered, we discuss what is known so far and why this is a case we'll be following closely as more information comes to light. We also cover the astonishing story of a student pilot in Argentina who was forced to land her aircraft alone after her instructor unexpectedly exited the plane mid-flight, a remarkable display of courage and composure under unimaginable circumstances.
To lighten the mood, Charlotte takes a dive into decades-old U.S. Army survival manuals and some of the wonderfully bizarre advice they once gave, from eating bugs to some eyebrow-raising medical "remedies." Finally, our Strange & Unusual Death takes us back to Yorkshire for one of the most unbelievable freak accidents we've come across, proving once again that truth really is stranger than fiction.

This week, we're diving into the unbelievable story of the "Black" Donnellys, an Irish-Canadian family whose name became synonymous with feuds, revenge, and violence. What begins as the story of immigrants trying to carve out a life in rural Ontario quickly spirals into decades of bitter rivalries, courtroom battles, and shocking acts of brutality. In Part One, we explore the Donnellys' early years, the events that ignited a community-wide feud, and how a single family's reputation would grow into legend. As Dina quickly discovered while researching, this story was far too wild to fit into a single episode.

Grab your tinfoil hat and strap it on tight because we are heading down to Texas (figuratively speaking) to examine one of the most compelling modern UFO cases in recent memory.
In January 2008, residents of Stephenville reported seeing strange lights and massive objects moving silently across the night sky. What began as a handful of eyewitness accounts quickly became a national story, drawing attention from the media, investigators, and even the military. With hundreds of witnesses, radar data, and conflicting explanations, the Stephenville Lights remain one of the most intriguing unexplained aerial phenomena of recent history. Were these sightings simply a misunderstanding, a military exercise gone awry, or evidence of something far more extraordinary?

This week on Extra Credit, we have an update on Rex Heuermann as sentencing finally arrives. Dina also brings a story that is guaranteed to leave your jaw on the floor and a shudder up your spine, along with a few others, beginning with an incident at an Oklahoma Arby's that proves truth really is stranger than fiction. Meanwhile, Charlotte heads into science corner with news that the Large Hadron Collider is shutting down, but only so scientists can make it even more powerful. We also celebrate one of science's bravest, or perhaps most questionable, heroes: the man who willingly allowed himself to be stung by insects in the name of research, creating a pain scale that scientists still use today.
Finally, our Strange and Unusual Death this week is a particularly upsetting one that may have you reconsidering whether bungee jumping belongs on your vacation itinerary.

In 1872, the Mary Celeste was discovered drifting alone in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship was seaworthy, its cargo was largely untouched, and the crew's personal belongings remained on board. Yet every person aboard had vanished without a trace. More than 150 years later, the fate of Captain Benjamin Briggs, his family, and the crew remains one of history's greatest maritime mysteries. Was it piracy, mutiny, a natural disaster, or something far stranger? In this episode, we separate fact from fiction, examine the evidence left behind, and explore the many theories that continue to fascinate historians and mystery enthusiasts alike.
Do you think this maritime mystery is solved or does this ghost ship still refuse to give up its secrets?

This week on Grim Curriculum, we conclude our longest series to date with Part Six of our deep dive into Richard Ramirez, the monster known to the world as the Night Stalker.
After months of terror, countless victims, the hunt for Richard Ramirez finally reaches its dramatic conclusion. The poetic justice of the community he terrorized coming together to bring his reign of terror to an end is bittersweet.
In this final chapter, we follow the events leading to Ramirez's capture, the public reaction to his crimes, and the trial that would captivate the nation.
This has been a difficult and harrowing series, and we want to thank our listeners for joining us through one of the most disturbing cases we've ever covered.

This week on Grim Curriculum: Extra Credit, we're checking in on a couple of familiar faces and, unsurprisingly, they're still making headlines.
First, we have updates on cases we've covered previously, including Nick Reiner, who remains determined to fight for his trust fund despite finding himself in increasingly hot water. We also revisit the case of an 87-year-old man recently sentenced for his third murder, proving that some people never seem to learn.
Of course, it wouldn't be Extra Credit without a trip to Florida. Dina brings us not one, but two Florida Man stories, because apparently one wasn't enough.
Meanwhile, Charlotte takes us across the pond for a tale that proves law enforcement can be surprisingly creative.

This week on Grim Curriculum, we're taking a brief break from our Night Stalker series for another installment of Grim Encounters.
These episodes are some of our favourites because the stories come directly from you. From unexplained experiences and strange coincidences to encounters that still leave people questioning what they witnessed, today's episode is filled with tales that are eerie, intriguing, and impossible to forget.
And for the first time ever, we've received a listener-submitted cryptid encounter. We could not be more excited to share it with you.
Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, we invite you to settle in and hear the experiences shared by fellow listeners. Some may have logical explanations. Others are a little harder to dismiss.

The walls are starting to close in on Richard in episode 5. As Ramirez continues his reign of terror across Los Angeles, the evidence against him continues to grow, and the mistakes he leaves behind become harder and harder to ignore. Feeling the pressure from the increasing attention surrounding his crimes, Richard briefly leaves Los Angeles for what could be described as a "vacation" in San Francisco. Ramirez has no interest in stopping, even when it would be in his best interests to law low and his violence follows him wherever he goes. Despite a series of devastating setbacks that could have derailed the investigation entirely, detectives are working harder than ever to catch the Nightstalker. For all of his unpredictability and brutality, Richard Ramirez is not nearly as invisible as he believes himself to be. Investigators are beginning to connect the dots, and for the first time, they have something they desperately needed: a name. And the public now had his face.

This week on Grim Curriculum: Extra Credit, Dina is doing most of the heavy lifting while Charlotte recovers from her trip to Vancouver (she sunburned her forehead), but don't worry, we've still got a wonderfully strange collection of stories for you.
First up is a tale involving Tom Selleck... kind of. Not really. What starts out sounding amusing quickly becomes something much more tragic, serving as a reminder that scams can have devastating consequences. Next, we have a story about a dog left in a parked car. Before you jump to conclusions, this one doesn't go where you think it will. Let's just say there is some unfortunate friendly fire courtesy of man's best friend. Continuing our apparent theme of subverting expectations, we cover the theft of thousands of dollars worth of an item that most people would never expect to become the target of a major burglary. And of course, we wrap things up with this week's Strange and Unusual Death, a story so baffling and uncomfortable that you may find yourself grasping your head and not just in disbelief.

Picking up where we left off, the city of Los Angeles remains gripped by fear as Ramirez continues his campaign of terror. Despite the growing media attention and mounting pressure from law enforcement, he has no intention of stopping. If anything, he is becoming more brazen, more violent, and more determined to escalate.
But while Richard Ramirez may have viewed himself as untouchable, in his mind he was blessed by Satan, investigators were steadily closing the gap. Though his crimes often appeared random and chaotic, the evidence he left behind was beginning to tell a story, and detectives knew far more than they were willing to reveal. In this episode, we follow the next chapter of Ramirez's rampage and the increasingly desperate race to identify and stop the man behind the Night Stalker murders.

This week, we continue our deep dive into Richard Ramirez with Part Three of our Night Stalker series, which may be one of the longest series weâve ever covered on the podcast. Thereâs so much history, psychology, investigative work, and social context wrapped up in the Night Stalker case that we felt rushing it would almost do it a disservice.
As Ramirez continues his violent rampage through Los Angeles, the attacks grow increasingly chaotic and brazen. He knows he does not want to stop, but with each new crime, investigators are getting closer. Homicide detectives Gil Carrillo and Frank Salerno are beginning to piece together the horrifying pattern unfolding across the city. And Richard is making mistakes. This episode is another difficult one, containing discussion of graphic violence, assault, and deeply disturbing crimes. Please listen at your discretion. As we move toward Rank Richard's eventual capture and trial in the episodes ahead, we also want to keep the focus where it belongs, on the many people whose lives were forever changed by his actions.

This week on Extra Credit, Dina brings a pile of updates, including the latest frustrating developments in the Alex Murdaugh case. We also talk about convicted family annihilator Scott Peterson and why the Innocence Project wasn't able to free him from prison. We wrap things up as per usual with a truly unfortunate case of âF around and find outâ involving wildlife, specifically one extremely angry beaver.

We continue our series on Richard Ramirez with Part Two, the chapter where Richard Ramirez fully evolves into the man who would become known as the âNight Stalker.â Now in Los Angeles, Ramirez descends further into addiction, violence, and chaos. His drug use spirals out of control, burglaries become routine, and he discovers what he views as the ultimate thrill, murder. As the attacks escalate in brutality and frequency, law enforcement begins to recognize that something far more sinister is unfolding across the city. Fear spreads, investigators scramble for answers, and the hunt for the Night Stalker begins.
This episode contains particularly disturbing material and we want to issue a strong content warning.

This week on Grim Curriculum, we begin our 200th episode series on one of the most infamous serial killers in American history, Richard Ramirez, better known as the âNight Stalker.â
In Part One, we trace Ramirezâs early life, his family history, and the deeply disturbing environment that shaped his formative years before his move to Los Angeles at just 18 years old. Even at this stage of the story, the warning signs are staggering. Violence, trauma, abuse, and dangerous influences surrounded Ramirez from an early age, raising difficult questions about nature, nurture, and how monsters are made. While there is no excuse for the horrors Richard Ramirez would later commit, this episode examines the circumstances that may have helped create the man he became. Was he born evil, or was he shaped into it by the people and experiences around him?
We want to hear your thoughts.

This week on Extra Credit, weâve got a lineup of cases that just so happen to share one common thread, women, for better or for worse.
Dina brings three shorter stories to the table, while Charlotte delivers a longer history lesson, each case offering its own mix of chaos and consequences. Totally unplanned, but somehow perfectly aligned. And donât worry, Dina didnât forget to include a Florida Woman story.
Our strange and unusual death this week is the only one that doesnât centre a woman, but letâs just say⊠itâs a classic case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

This week we are stepping inside some of the most notorious asylums of the past, places where those deemed âunwellâ were hidden away, often forgotten, and too often mistreated. Institutions like Philadelphia State Hospital, Danvers State Hospital, and Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum were meant to provide care, but behind their walls, overcrowding, neglect, and harmful âtreatmentsâ became the reality for many patients.
We also examine the work of Nellie Bly, who risked her own safety by having herself committed to expose the conditions inside these institutions, bringing the public face to face with what was happening out of sight. These were not just places of treatment, but places of control, where fear, misunderstanding, and authority often dictated who was confined and how they were treated.
In episode 199, we confront the human cost of these institutions, the stories that emerged from within them, and the systems that allowed such suffering to continue unchecked.

This week on The Grim Curriculum, we step into one of the internet ageâs most bizarre and unsettling fringe groups: the Love Has Won cult, led by Amy Carlson.
What began as a spiritual movement quickly spiralled into something far stranger, blending New Age beliefs, online devotion, and increasingly extreme behaviour. Followers believed Carlson to be a divine being, a figure they called âMother Godâ, and their dedication led them down a path that blurred the line between faith and control.
At the centre of it all is a striking contradiction: Carlson, who was revered as âMotherâ by her followers, had previously left behind her own husband and three children in pursuit of this new identity, a reality that adds another unsettling layer to the story.
In this episode, we break down the rise of Love Has Won, the inner workings of the group, and the disturbing reality behind its public image. From livestreams and loyal followers to the shocking events that ultimately drew widespread attention, this is a story that feels as surreal as it is deeply unsettling.

Charlotte starts us off with an update in the Gerhardt Konig case, while Dina brings the latest from the Long Island Serial Killer investigation. Charlotte then shares some shocking old news from 2011 involving the actor behind McGruff the Crime Dog, proving that even the voices behind familiar faces can have a darker side. Dina follows with a truly horrifying home invasion story that feels like something straight out of a nightmare. Thankfully, Charlotte lightens things up with the tale of a flamboyant Florida gangster and fire chief whose disappearance remains unsolved to this day. Dina brings us right back into chaos with another Florida story, this time involving a surgeon who is in serious trouble after removing the wrong organ. Charlotteâs final story takes us back to 1946 with the Battle of Athens, a rare example of ordinary people standing up against corruption and winning. And of course, we wrap things up with this weekâs Strange and Unusual Death. This one is as gruesome as it is cautionary, and might be one of the most memorable arguments against driving under the influence weâve ever heard.
