When police arrive to the scene to find a body underneath a burning mattress, there are more questions than answers, and months go by without so much as a clue about who committed the horrific murder. Until one woman starts to experience strange visions, pinpointing the offender in a trance-like state.

This is exactly what happened in one of the world's most infamous paranormal happenings. Join hosts Amanda and Dayvid as we take guest star Erin (Patriot Paranormal) through a winding road of twists and turns to unveil the truth. Will you join us for the ride?

  A good mother makes every possible effort to make sure her child is provided for. Necessities of course are important, but every once in a while, it is music to the soul watching your child or children laugh and enjoy a family day together. Cindy George had the same perspective, and was known by all who knew her as a Do-Anything-For-My-Kids mother. So when the opportunity presented itself to housesit for extended family, Cindy could think of nothing else than spoiling her three young children with a movie night away from home.
  Cindy could never have imagined that it would be their last night together, or that it would be her actions that led to one of the most tragic cases New Zealand has ever recorded.

Join Dayvid and Amanda for an old-school aid-stationesque episode featuring our friends Like Mother Like Murder Podcast's awesome trailer and our sponsor Weird Sauce's amazing commercial.

  "The most horrifying and violent true crime case in the history of Japan." 

 That is often what people say when asked to recall the vivid, disturbing details of the Junko Furuta case. It is not one for the weak-hearted; the story of one girl's 42 days of torture at the hands of dozens of monsters parading as men is not your every day news article. But for the Furuta family, for months, it was their only reality. 

  Join charismatic host John, of infamous podcast Dairyland Frights as he and Dayvid listen to one of the most traumatizing cases Amanda has introduced yet - if you can make it all the way through....

  Missing...
  The very word conjures a feeling of loss, despair, emptiness... especially when that word is used to describe the presence of someone you love. When a loved one goes missing, the lives of the friends and families of the victims are turned upside down as the race to bring their loved one home begins. We never expect however, that they might go missing right in the comfort of their own bedroom.

  Such was the case with Mariesa Weber, who vanished from her bedroom in the home she shared with her parents and sister. A massive search effort tore through the Floridian community as every stone was turned in a desperate search for Mariesa. The answer however, would be more horrifying than anyone could have ever predicted.

 Join our guests Mandy and Avery, bodacious babe hosts of Thick Thighs & Creepy Vibes Podcast as Dayvid and Amanda weave them through a disturbing but true, tale as dark as time. We also get to know the Thick Thighs themselves by laughing over their Red Flag, Green Flag answers and things get REALLY kooky when Amanda shares a hysterical story of a highschool classmate vigilante with a psychiatric concern.

  This episode contains adult themes such as the discussion of drug use, details of a death, and profanity. Listener discretion is advised.

  We have set the bar quite high for our animal attack survivor series, and we're happy to say we exceeded expectations AGAIN with this insightful and inspirational story of survival, told from the woman who survived it herself.

   Maria Korcsmoros has always been a strong, driven woman. From triathlons to doting on her family, Maria gives 100% in everything she does... but sometimes, things can go awry, even with the best preparations. Such as what happened when Maria found herself in the jaws of a Great White Shark during an open-ocean swim off the coast of California. Join Dayvid and Amanda as we listen in awe to Maria's first-hand account of the day she nearly lost her life to one of the ocean's most fearsome predators.

  Maria has since dedicated her life to advocating for sharks and shark conservation through her platform Run4Sharks and via her position in Shark Stewards. Make a donation through www.run4sharks.org today and help save sharks!!!

  Ahh, camping. There's nothing quite like it. Crisp, fresh air mingling with the sounds of a crackling fire and a good night's sleep on Mother Earth's bedding. We all have fond memories of family outings, or trips with friends, but how many of us are expecting something terrible to happen while we lay there at night, vulnerable to the natural world around us?

 For two young employees of Glacier National Park lodges, they had far more reason for concern than any of us have today, yet they gambled with their lives when they decided to camp out underneath the stars in what would become the first ever bear-related fatality in the park's history. What makes this story REALLY bizarre, is the trillion to one chance that TWO separate bears would attack and kill TWO separate victims, just minutes and mere miles apart, breaking a record of macabre proportions.

  Join the ENTIRE gang of Amanda, Dayvid and Rachel as we walk you through The Night Of The Grizzlies - in full, gory detail.

  We've all heard the romantic, soothing tones of Marvin Gaye. Being that he's a household name, the utterance of his very name brings forth memories of soulful and talented vocals, soft and serenading tones, and so much of what we love about R&B music was born from him. And yet, few of us know the story of his life - and his death.

  We all have social circles, however large or small. Sometimes we feel compelled to get together with a few of your close pals for a fun night, where you can drink away your problems and drift into another life - at least for the moment. But none of us anticipates a fun night with friends leading to our last moments alive.
 
 For Francis Daniel Brohm AKA Frankie, this is exactly what transpired when a fun night drinking with friends turned into one of the most bizarre and unbelievable deaths we've ever covered; SO bizarre, in fact, that a pop-culture hit movie was released that was inspired by the true events entailed. 

 Join Dayvid and Amanda as they weave Kevin, host of Where The Weird Ones Are Podcast, through this confusing story as we unveil the delicate truth of just what lengths our own brains will go to, to protect us.

  All of us have that special little habit, that fond activity we do or place we go when things get overwhelming. For some, it's a beach. For others, they get lost in the world of music. For Taylor Luciow (AKA Taylor Mitchell), the only thing that could calm her when things got to be too much, was music and nature. So when she was given a 2 day break between playing her beloved folks-country music during her first ever national tour, Taylor chose a short retreat in one of nature's most infamous and Instagram-worthy trails: The Skyline Trail in Novia Scotia, Canada. Taylor was prepared for breathtaking views and crisp fall air... but she never expected to meet her fate when two large coyotes stumbled onto her trail.

  Join Dayvid (WNP Host) and Eric, host of the prestigious uNcomfortable Podcast as Amanda (WNP Host) weaves them and you through the true story of Canada's ONLY coyote fatality on record: How did this happen? Why did this happen? How can we prevent these kinds of incidents going forward? Amanda shares the answers to all of these questions and more, and along the way we learn about Taylor's life and career in music, a little coyote biology, and the guys have to sit through a whole lot of raunchy jokes in this most bizarre and bewildering of episodes.

  There's something about rugged, untouched wilderness that causes most of us to catch our breath: the beauty of sparkling blankets of thick snow, the soft warmth of a rising sun against cold skin; there is much to love about our natural world and its' inhabitants. For Horatio Chapple and 80 other students documenting evidence of climate change in one of the world's most primitive archipelagos, the chance to wake up for a few days beside a glacier in Svalbard, Norway was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Unfortunately for one small group of students, however, hidden in this opportunity was their greatest challenge; a fight of life or death with one of the Arctic's most formidable predators, the Polar Bear. 

 Join hosts Dayvid and Amanda as they weave multiple first-person accounts of this incident into one harrowing story of how a number of failed safety measures caused one of the most brutal animal attacks on record, and how for one bright young student, they cost him his life.

   What would you do to someone who stole from you? Would your response change if an innocent young child committed the thievery? Would you forgive them, or maybe smile at them? Or would you unleash an unimaginable assault onto their tiny body, battering them to the point of unconsciousness and death?

 For one little 3 year old boy growing up in Atlanta, this was sadly his reality. After a short life filled with abuse at the various hands of those entrusted to care for him, Kejuan Mason met his end after sneaking off with a delicious treat he found. But little did he know the devastation that awaited that tiny, fateful decision.

  For JC, life was just one big adventure waiting to be taken by the reigns. Though he devoted his life to many heroic duties such as spending his time as a firefighter and a paramedic rescue specialist in the Air Force, his real passion lied with adventure. So it was no surprise when JC launched a company devoted to training athletes and supplying adventure inspiration. 

  This inspiration was never in short supply, and this includes August 3 2021, when JC began what was supposed to be an educational video about an upcoming triathlon. To help fellow athletes understand the route, JC got into the murky green lake and began tracing the route while a friend piloted a drone just overhead - but unusual for JC, he left caution in the rearview when he jumped into Lake Thonotosassa in Hillsborough County, Florida that day, and a 12 foot American Alligator took the opportunity to attack JC in a surprise encounter that left him badly injured.

 Join us for a personal in-depth look into this tragic incident and how JC relied on his faith and emotional strength to not only wrestle himself out of the enormous reptile's jaws, but get himself to safety where he could begin his long and strenuous recovery.

  Time spent on the sea is almost always blissful and relaxing. Something about the bobbing waves, gentle breeze, and sounds of seaside birds bring one to ease. There are scenarios however, in which these subtle details become that of nightmares, such as the case when Ray Boundy, Dennis Murphy and Linda Horton set sail on their shrimp trawler, the New Venture, with their eyes set on a large catch dozens of miles from shore.
 Join Drew and Z, hosts of Cryptid Warfare Podcast, as we delve into this tragic story and the horrors they endured when the New Venture sank during tumultuous weather and were faced with an entirely new set of life-threatening concerns.

When you envision paradise, you probably think of swaying palm trees, a soft and pleasant breeze, ocean waves lapping at the shore. You probably don't envision poverty, food rationing, and stress. But for Fiji native Samuela Cirivakayawa, this is exactly what paradise meant to him. Among his existing stresses, a low teacher's income, marital problems, and the loss of his father drove him to the edge in search of happiness, and one day Samuela had enough and decided to start over in Australia in search of a new and better life.

 Follow along with your hosts Amanda, Rachel and Dayvid as we take AJ of Ghost Vexers Paranormal along for the ride as we learn how Samuela's search for happiness ultimately led to his early demise in a freak accident of morbid proportions.

  It's hard to navigate this world without the guidance and example of a parent. From learning to walk to learning to drive, parents are supposed to provide for you, nourish you and help you grow into an independent, successful adult.

  For Sylvia and Jenny Likens, this was not their reality. Growing up in a home with an inconsistent parental presence, they learned to adapt quickly by themselves in order to survive. But no amount of life experience would prepare them for what lay in store.

  Join your hosts Amanda and Dayvid as we welcome Tyler from Men of Misfortune Podcast into the twisted story of Gertrude Baniszewski and the torture and horrors she inflicted onto the Likens girls. From hysterical re-imaginings of Gertie as a human-cigarette, to allegations of government conspiracy, you will want some tissues within arms-reach for the most sadistic and graphic story we've told yet.

  This episode contains extremely triggering content and includes authentic audio and descriptions regarding child abuse, sexual abuse and neglect, references to drug and alcohol use, as well as foul language. Listener discretion and parental discretion is highly advised.

   Zoos are a fascinating concept. They utilize panes of plexi-glass and steel bars to separate nature's perfect killers from us defenseless humans so we can peer into their eyes and experience what a moment in their presence feels like - within the safety measures provided, of course.
    One typical day, a sweet mother was taking her young son and only child to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium for an educational class, and decided to walk him around the zoo afterwards to see the different animals. With large glasses that helped 2-year old Maddox Derkosh to compensate for the poor vision he was born with, he eagerly peered through the windows and over the railings at the different exhibits. There was just one exhibit, featuring a pack of 11 African Painted Dogs, of which he couldn't see the animals well enough. His doting mother had an innocent idea of lifting him up onto the railing for a better view, but nobody could have saw what was coming when sweet little Derkosh and his large Harry-Potter-style glasses fell forward out of her arms and 14 feet into the exhibit below.

  Join your host Amanda and our very special guests Nisha and Buda BadA$$, hosts of The Hot Garbage Show - True Crime Edition Podcast as we get wild and weird with this insane account of how a poor, innocent young boy met his fate at the hands of African predators in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania zoo. Accompany us for one long emotional rollercoaster ride as we bring you from tears of laughter to tears of heartbreak, and back again several times throughout this gripping and hysterical collaboration.

    Time is a magical concept. With it, all things change. Even things that were once new and beautiful, with time will rot and decay like everything else.
  This applies to machinery as well, and with the rapid advancement of technology, every year of outdated equipment seems to have an effect of much larger magnitude. Safety provisions across all industries have evolved and enhanced throughout time.
  The risks of Saturation Diving however, have not changed much over the years. To this day it remains one of the most dangerous professions within mankind, and people who are able to withstand the hardships of this incredibly taxing line of work are compensated well, and do so expecting to end each journey by seeing their family again.
  Sadly for five workers one November day in 1983, this was not the case, as outdated equipment and a lack of updated safety precautions caused the brutal and horrific death of almost an entire crew, not one by one but all at once, and all due to a simple human error that was so avoidable and preventable.
  With the inclusion of the authentic autopsy report from the 1980's and medical journal entries full of rather... graphic descriptions, this episode is NOT for the faint of heart.

  Joining us for this episode is one of our regular rotating co-hosts Dayvid, of Down The Rabbit Hole social media entertainment and Deeper Down apparel. Listen in as Dayvid shares his insight into this story told by your host Amanda, which delves into the gruesome details surrounding his horrific tragedy that shocked the industry.

  Listener discretion is advised for adult themes and language and graphic descriptions within the discussed medical documents. Parental guidance under 18 strongly suggested.

  Rolling prairies of lush grass billowing in the wind; snow-capped mountains looming in the distance; it sounds like a heavenly landscape that only exists in a fever dream. Despite the ever-dwindling natural areas of the United States, Alaska remains a mostly-untouched and wild state where fever dreams become a reality. This beautiful haven comes at the cost of being around large populations of some of the most deadly predators on the continent: Grizzly Bears, and for most people that is enough of a deterrent to avoid making Alaska a bucket-list destination. or at least enough to do some research and be prepared for such a wilderness.
  Timothy Treadwell did none of these things. Facing the elements - and the animals - alone and without protection, Park Services and visitors thought of him as just another lunatic out to get himself killed - but nobody could have anticipated that Timothy would risk bringing other people into his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.

  Joining us for this ridiculous story backed by uncovered Government documents is none other than Samantha and Traci, hosts of The Suspended Sentence Podcast. With a history rich in professional mental health and predator preparedness in Bear country, these two help dispel myths and navigate a twisted road through Timothy's childhood, his deteriorating mental health, and the poor victim who just wanted to love him.

  This episode contains graphic content including authentic audio descriptions from witnesses, detailed autopsy findings, mental health issues, adult language and more. Listener discretion, as always, is advised.

  There is something about a free-spirited woman that makes all of us envious. Taking risks and leaping into the unknown to follow her passions, creating friendships and memories everywhere she goes, and excelling at every single thing she puts her mind to. 
  That was the lifestyle of Diana Bober. She grew up with a strong adoration of nature, and that pull to be among it intensified as she became an adult. After following a string of passions back and forth across the United States, she finally found herself drawn to the gorgeous trails and mountains of Oregon. Her family members and friends grew to expect glorious panoramic views of mountain ranges during Diana's many hikes, until the day all communications stopped.
  After reporting her missing to police, family and officials left no stone un-turned in finding Diana, but the fate she met was far more horrifying than anyone was prepared to acknowledge.

 Innocent. Curious. Playful. Inquisitive. 
  These are all words that can describe nearly any 6-year old. But Arthur wasn't like other 6 year old boys; behind his bright, blonde hair and light eyes hid a world of darkness. After losing his mother to incarceration following a vigilante murder, Arthur found himself at the mercy of his father Thomas and his new girlfriend, Emma Tustin. Together, they would lead Arthur into a world of pain, neglect, and isolation as they systemically tortured him for over a year until his death, and all behind closed doors, conveniently hidden in the throes of the COVID-19 Pandemic. 
  Tune in as Amanda walks you through the timeline of events that led to that fateful day, as well as audio clips from the 911 call and the conversation between Emma Tustin and first responders.
