Episode 131. The Fresno Nightcrawler and Eridania Rodriguez
This week Liz takes us into the bizarre world of the Fresno Nightcrawler, a strange cryptid caught on surveillance footage that somehow looks both ridiculous and deeply unsettling at the same time. Are the Fresno Nightcrawlers elaborate hoaxes, paranormal beings, or just… walking pants? We discuss the sightings, the internet fascination, and why this weird little cryptid refuses to go away.
Then Danielle covers the tragic murder of Eridania Rodriguez, a hardworking cleaning staff member whose life was taken while working inside a Manhattan skyscraper. Danielle explores the investigation, the shocking circumstances surrounding the case, and the larger conversation about the vulnerability of cleaning crew workers behind closed doors.

Episode 130. The Flatwoods Monster ft. Liz
This week we’re joined by our friend Liz as she takes us into the eerie legend of the Flatwoods Monster. A bizarre, glowing 10-foot-tall figure spotted in West Virginia in 1952 that still leaves people asking… what was that?
From there, we spiral into a wider conversation about alien sightings in the 60s and 70s, including some seriously strange encounters reported right here in New Hampshire. Were these just cases of mass hysteria… or something far more unexplainable?
This episode is all about UFOs, cryptids, and the moments that make you question what’s really out there.

Episode 129. Hotel Circus Circus and Feral Child Oxana Malaya
In this week's episode Sandra talks about the famous Circus Circus hotel in Las Vegas. Known as one of the cheapest hotel options this hotel has haunted guests since the 1970's. Full of mysterious stories including the famous room 123 that is so haunted, the hotel won't even rent it out to guests anymore.
Danielle explores the extraordinary and heartbreaking story of Oxana Malaya, a girl discovered in 1991 living in a dog kennel in rural Ukraine.
Often sensationalized as the “girl raised by dogs,” Oxana’s story is far more complex than the headlines suggest. After experiencing severe neglect at a young age, she survived for years among the family’s dogs, adapting to her surroundings in remarkable ways. Danielle walks through Oxana’s early life, the shocking discovery that brought her story to international attention, and the difficult process of rehabilitation that followed.
This episode also examines the broader reality behind so-called “feral children” cases, exploring how early childhood neglect can affect development and what Oxana’s life has looked like in the years since her rescue.
