Episode 211
February 19, 2025
COMING SOON!
Thank you very much to Kortenie for the listener request this week! Kala's going to tell you all about Devil's Island in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Some say that Casper Henneberry, a resident of Devils Island, saw the Devil in the form of a halibut. Yup. You read that right... Devil Fish. The next day, he was found drowned. There have also been reports of ghostly apparitions, strange fires, and other unexplained phenomena.
It turns out this isn't the only location in Halifax Harbor with strange occurances. McNabs Island has a bunch of strange local legends associated with the land. And St. Paul's Church has an odd anomaly in one of its windows.
Is this Canadian town cursed? Is it just so old that it can't help but have a few ghosts? Are we really buying the story about the Devil Fish? Guess you'll have to listen to find out!
Episode 210: Everybody be giving Shirley side-eye!
February 12, 2025
Are you ready for a story that’s sure to shiver your timbers? We hope so! Because Brittany is about to tell you all about the Battersea Poltergeist. In the 1950s, a family in Battersea, London began experiencing strange noises, flying objects, and unexplained fires. Yeah. That’s right. More fires. This ghost (who the family named Donald) became BIG NEWS in the UK and was even discussed in Parliament.
But was it real? Or the imaginings of a teenage girl? Considering this took away more than a decade of her life, we’re tempted to believe her.
Episode 209: Wisconsin! Stop setting everything on fire!
February 5, 2025
Thank you for celebrating our 4 year podiversary with us!
This is our first episode with our new format, and Kala is talking all about haunted roads in the state of Wisconsin. One of the most famous legends is that of The Phantom Hitchhiker of Hwy 12 in Baraboo. He's been seen many times by drivers late at night. No one knows who he is or why he's there. And if you see him once, it's likely you'll see him again just a few miles down the road. Other spooky stretches of pavement include:
The Jogger and the Ghosts Cats of Jay Road
The strange phenomena on Callan Road (AKA Witch Road) near Fond du Lac in Rosendale
Spirits of roadkill on Paradise Road in Jefferson
Old Man Weary, Spectral Cars, and other unexplained occurrences on Weary Road near Evansville
This episode is sure to make you question your next midwest road trip. This leaves us wondering why Wisconsin has so many spooky roads? Is it the only state like this, or is there more to worry about when travelling across the country?
Episode 208: Jack the Ripper
January 29, 2025
We're wrapping up 2025 True Crime January with Jack the Ripper, one of the biggest unknowns in the genre. And we've got a special guest joining us for the occasion: Sean Moria! That's right, Kala's husband hopped in the studio to discuss the unidentified serial killer who terrorized the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. Considered one of the greatest mysteries of the past, Jack the Ripper has inspired many shows, movies, and music in pop culture (including Sean's band Gnarwals).
Is the identity of the killer the only mystery here? Or have these tragic events brought about some of the ghosts who wander the London streets?

January 22, 2025
We're continuing our True Crime January with the location known as Fox Hollow Farm, formerly owned by the infamous serial killer Herb Baumeister. Baumeister, despite appearing to be an average family-minded businessman, murdered several men and disposed of their bodies right in the yard where his children played. When it seemed he was going to be caught, he left and took his own life.
The tragedies he inflicted have left people to believe that the land he owned is now haunted, but there doesn’t seem to be much evidence to support it. So is it actually haunted and the ghosts just aren’t showing themselves? Or is this human nature to apply the paranormal to a place of darkness? And that’s the case, why do we do it? Episode 206: Los Feliz Murder House
January 15, 2025
We’re in our third week of True Crime January, and we’re covering the Los Feliz Murder House. In 1959, a doctor murdered his wife, attacked his child, and then took his own life. And the house has been cursed ever since! Or has it? Decades of the home sitting seemingly unused has led to urban legends and ghost stories.
But is there any truth behind these tales? Or is it just the wild imagination of a community still unable to understand the tragedy?

January 8, 2025
For our second week of True Crime January, we are covering one of the most infamous murder cases in United States history. The Borden Murders of 1892 resulted in the notorious trial of Lizzie Borden. Even though she was acquitted of the crimes, a nursery rhyme asserting that she killed her father and stepmother followed her for the rest of her life and decades after her passing. And it seems like this infamy may be feeding the haunting in not one, but TWO locations!
Does her ghost really hop between the two homes? Or do people just want to believe there is a ghost because of this heinousness of the crime?Episode 204: Hiding from ghosts behind sofas
January 1, 2025
Happy True Crime January!
This week, we are talking about The Cecil Hotel, which has... let's say... not the best history when it comes to the folks who have stayed there. But is it HAUNTED? A certain ghost TV show host by the name of Bagans-Liar-Liar-Pants-On-Fire certainly thinks it is, but let's see what Kala has to say about it.
Editor's Note: The John Cusack movie is 1408, not 1308. I knew it sounded off...
