Happy Spooky Season!
Episode 74: Deep in the isolated woods of York County, Pennsylvania, lies a valley where witchcraft and hex superstitions were still alive in the 20th century. On a freezing November night in 1928, three men marched into the dark of Rehmeyer Hollow, driven by a terrifying conviction: they were cursed, and the only way to break the spell was to steal a book of black magic, or take a lock of hair from a dead man’s head. This isn't a story from the Salem Witch Trials—this happened in modern America, where a clash of faith, healing, paranoia, and a brutal murder exposed a hidden world of witchcraft right in our own backyard.

A Deadly Trespass: The Chai Soua Vang Story
Happy Spooky Season!
Episode 73: Imagine being miles deep in the freezing woods of WI, surrounded by dense pines, with nowhere to hide. Now imagine running for your life while wearing hunter's orange—a visible target through the trees for a trained marksman stalking you from behind. On opening weekend of deer season in 2004, a heated argument over an empty tree stand turned into a nightmare for 8 hunters. Who will survive when the deer is no longer the only thing hunted?

The Exorcism and Death of Anneliese Michel
Happy Spooky Season!
Episode 72: She was an ordinary college student, until the day she began barking like a dog, eating spiders, and claiming that Adolf Hitler and Lucifer were speaking through her mouth. When medicine failed her, her deeply devout family made a fateful choice: they traded doctors for priests, embarking on sixty-seven secret, grueling exorcisms. But did they save her soul, or condemn her to a slow, agonizing death? Today, we go inside the tragic, disturbing story of Anneliese Michel—the real-life inspiration behind The Exorcism of Emily Rose—and the landmark courtroom trial that put faith itself on the witness stand.
