Hello and welcome to our podcast. We hope that you enjoy listening. This podcast has no real focus, we’ll play games, get into random conversations, get into numerous discussion, and aim to have a good time while making it so you can feel like your just sitting and listening to friends.

Hello hello hello, Nate did have plans for a paranormal episode but as we've found with paranormal stories they tend to be hard to find good ones. Lots of great stories but most are brief incidents and little to no legend of backstory, when we do find more we like to cover them. So sticking to the scary story idea he revisits r\NoSleep, and as you …

We have a couple horrible cases this week, brought to you by Nate. The first case, most of you have probably heard of, is horrendous these usually tend to be my realm but now Nate has brought us one. There is a pretty in depth docu on this case you can find on streaming services and I would recommend it if you won't to learn more of this poor child…

So the show is all Nate on this one. We start in St. Petersburgh Florida with a case of a murder suicide pact that doesn't go as planned, this case only happened last month, Feb 2025, not even a month yet. After this case Nate moves on to two cases that confused him when he was looking into them and confused me as well as he tells the story, the co…

We have some updates this week on previous episodes. First we have the Missouri Dungeon case, this is the case of the woman who escaped the homemade dungeon of Timothy M. Haslett. This case is still underway and during her captivity Haslet had threatened her by saying hehad two other victims hat hadn't made it out. We know this wasn't just empty th…

This week we have some strange deaths to talk about. Nate comes with the always unusual spontaneous human combustion. Most of us have heard about the woman he talks about; images of the scene are pretty prevalent when you look into this strange phenomenon. After that, and too not get into too much detail here, I go into some hospitals in South Afri…

We had an idea for this weeks episode, we had intended to talk about strange paranormal or supernatural occurrences reported during wartime, or within the military. At the last minute I changed the plan, I wanted to talk about my sister and her murder. Its not a crazy story nor is it very long with tons of characters and wild strange twists, it's j…

Nate had an idea for looking at some supernatural and paranormal incidents during wartime. We have all heard of the common ones like foo fighters and gremlins though we may still delve into them. As he was looking for some he came across this reddit story and decided to share it. Honestly after hearing it and learning this is only the 1st part of 5…

This is a pretty rough case like some others I have done, while reading and researching the case I found that thankfully a lot of the explicit details weren't presented in the sources I read from, this doesn't in anyway lessen how horrible this case was and what was done to these individuals but what I can only describe as monsters. I apologize for…

Nate takes control this week and brings some stories of crimes committed through. We've all heard some of these stories, not necessarily the ones Nate brings today, but warnings and unfortunate events that happen due to people either giving out too much information on the internet and social media or being lured through chat to real life locations.…

After a two week hiatus we are back with some Florida man stories. It is a crazy place down here and I'm sure you've all heard some crazy stories about this state so we decided to share a few crazy ones we found. The main one I cover is actually really close to where I live and I heard nothing of it until specifically looking for Florida man storie…

If you've listened to a good amount of our episodes you may know I tend to bring the horrific stories compared to what Nate brings to the table. This week is no exception, I start us of with The Hi-Fi Murders, what is initially believed to be a robbery in 1974 takes a much darker turn, sadly leaving three dead and two scarred for life. Following th…

True crime this week. Nate talks about something he found on reddit, the story of Tom Justice, a bank robber who was known as the Choir Boy and later the Bicycle Bank Robber, I do prefer the first name do to why they called him that and I also feel what he did with what he stole also fit that name. Then I talk about the murder David Auchterlonie. I…
  continue reading
 
Another true crime episode. This week I have The Kurim Case which is a pretty horrific case involving children, though not much for details on that part of the case. The was more focus on the perpetrators and the bizarre twist. Nate follows that up the the case of Mr. DuBoise, to be honest, this case pissed me off, not to give anything away but the…

This week we have another creepypasta game. This time around it's The Devil Game, a little game/ritual to someone the devil in order to talk to him, asks questions, and possibly play some mind games. This one is a bit longer then the other "games" ones we've done but I enjoyed reading it and thought our listeners may as well. We recently missed a c…

We missed a couple weeks of recording, first Nates work schedule interfered with one week, then the next week I was dying of an illness.... see... a witch turned me into a newt..... I got better though. So we are back and this week we have some fun stories, we have a very tall woman who makes a very strange sound and hunts children, then we have so…

Some interesting Cryptids this week. First up is the strange flatwoods monster, I personally hate this thing now, but Nate brought it to the table so I'll just add my hate for this thing onto Nate, he could use some more. Then we have the creepy looking Fresno Nightcrawlers, I've seen videos and even a few shows looking into these things. I'm not g…

Another true crime week. First, Nate reads a story about Marcus Wesson, I really can't say much about this aside the guy is a monster, disgusting, a murderer, amongst many many other things. I've personally covered some pretty bad stories here and now it's Nates turn. Aside from the few descriptive words of this man, he's a cult leader who had chil…

This week we dive back into true crime. First we head to Australia for the horrific murder of two young girls, Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock. This sadly unsolved case took place in 1965 when two girls who went to the beach with family never returned home. There was a few suspects but to this date it remains unsolved. The second case branc…

Back to true crime this week. This is another unsolved case where everyone gets accused, arrested, and released, except the killer. For a short time in New Orleans and surrounding areas the people were gripped by fear as a man was sneaking into homes and murdering a total of six people. One day he breaks his silence with a message to the media whic…

We wrap up the first ARC of the Ben Drowned story this week. Well, technically Nate wraps it up. This has been an easy few weeks for me since he chose a story he enjoys and its been multi episodes, and for me its just been pretty cool to hear the full story since I had only previously known of it by name and not much about it.…
  continue reading
 
Another week of cursed games. This week we took a break from Ben Drowned but that will be back next week with the final part. This week we have Pokemon Black and also the Lavender Town Syndrome. Neither are in depth or as long as Ben Drowned but I had never heard the Pokemon Black story and thought it was rather interesting. It's a bit different th…
  continue reading
 
We continue with the Ben Drowned cursed Zelda game this week. Making it through pats 2-4. It's pretty interesting, I had heard of it before but never read it so nice to be able to hear it now. Next week we will finish the last part and have the game I found as well, Pokemon Black. I also scheduled the previous weeks episode for thr wrong date so it…

We covered a cursed game a while back, the whole Herobrine story in Minecraft. But we decided to go a little deeper now and cover a couple more. First up, and a multi part series since it's a long story is Ben Drowned. A strange Zelda game, sold by a strange man, with a pervious save already on it from someone named Ben.…

We get to do the rest of the people we had for last weeks episode this week, we may do a third part to this soon. Not to give any details because these peoples stories are pretty short, so we have Tsutomu Yamaguchi, followed by Aimo Koivunen. Then we take a slight detour to the horse, Staff Sergeant Reckless, and finally we finish with the "unlucki…

So we've been going for two weeks, I was in the ER on new years eve into new years day, I don't really want to get into it but it involved fireworks and a "hold my beer" moment..... not really, but I was in the ER. The following week Nate wasn't feeling well but, I also presented Nate with his Christmas present which he didn't appreciate, but now w…

This week we went back to reddit for some more creepy stories. We found two christmas ones that are good as well as three other, so a total of 5 short horror stories this week. Also, we most likely will not be recording this week so no new episode next week, I spent news years eve into new years day in the ER and still recovering so most likely won…

In 1827 in Polstead, Suffolk, England, a woman, Maria Marten, was murdered at a local landmark known as the Red Barn. The story has some weird turns, such as Maria loving a man and having his child to later loving his brother and being with him. Letters written to the family after she had been murdered to keep up the lie of what happened. Down to s…

I heard a bit of this story a while back, I believe I saw it in a little short video, like a youtube short or something and what I heard of her has stuck with me and I've wanted to cover it for some time now and finally decided to do it this week. I also believe, even though I talk about it in the episode, that the saying "hell hath no fury liked a…

We continue on with missing children this week with Virginia Dare. Virginia Dare was the first english born child in America in 1587, then she went missing. Not only did she go missing but the whole colony of Roanoke went missing and it all still remains a mystery to this day. When we were looking for stories we both found this one odd since articl…

This is a strange true crime episode about missing children. The Sodder family was a large family with a total of 10 children. The father came to America and did well for himself, he bought a house and married and his family began to grow. He was very outspoken about his beliefs and this may have been what led to a strange series of events leading …

This episode is literally about nothing. We used to do two podcasts a week, this one of course as well as "Listen or the Kitten Gets it!" which was just playing games and rambling. And since we ramble quite a bit throughout each episode we had the idea of doing a "nothing" episode once a month where we just ramble on about whatever, once a month se…

We're back with our fourth Halloween Special! And posting a day early to release on Halloween! This year we of course stuck with the creepy, it is for Halloween, the best holiday ever after all!
