A mother of four. A Thanksgiving dinner that never happened. Desperate messages asking for help. And a disappearance that still has no answers.
We're kicking off our Thanksgiving-themed episodes with the heartbreaking disappearance of Nicole Mallatt, a 36-year-old Missouri mother who vanished just days before Thanksgiving in 2019. Nicole told people she was afraid. She asked for help. She was making plans to leave. And then she disappeared.
Her remains were eventually discovered, but investigators couldn't determine exactly how she died. As of the latest reporting discussed in this episode, no one had been charged in connection with her death.

Episode 259: The Black Monk
A perfectly ordinary house. Flying furniture. Mysterious bruises. And a shadowy monk who apparently never learned to mind his own damn business.
This week we're taking a little detour into the paranormal with the Black Monk of Pontefract, one of Britain's most infamous alleged hauntings.
When the Pritchard family moved into 30 East Drive in 1966, they probably weren't expecting their new home to come with an invisible, extremely aggressive roommate.
But apparently FRED HAD OTHER PLANS. And the creepiest part? The family wasn't alone in reporting these experiences. Neighbors, relatives, and even police officers reportedly witnessed strange activity.
So was this a genuinely terrifying haunting, an elaborate hoax, or something else entirely?
Because we're not saying the house is haunted, but we're also NOT SPENDING THE NIGHT THERE.
💬 Come spiral with us! Do you believe in poltergeists? Have you ever experienced something you couldn't explain? Tell us EVERYTHING.
