                                                 SERIAL KILLER ALERT Before we get started with tonight's episode, We just want to give a little bit of a forewarning...tonight's episode contains a bit of gore and is not for the faint of heart. Be warned. As you guys may or may not know. I happen to know a lot about serial killers. I don't romantisize what they do, or glorify the killings, but I find it interesting how the human mind can become warped and twisted in some really grotesque ways. The behavior of serial killers is often baffling and bizarre. It's like watching a train wreck, you want to look away but somehow you can't. For tonight's episode I have found a serial killer with some of the highest numbers I've ever seen, and I was shocked when I realized I'd never heard anything about him. His name is Pedro Rodrigues Filho. Although I'd never heard of him, he is one of Brazil's most well known serial killers who's infamy is unmatched

The Most Pitiful & Obscure Cryptid: THE SQUONK

This teary eyed creature emerged from the Lumberwoods. What and where exactly are the Lumberwoods you might be asking? I found a passage by author William T. Cox which summarizes itperfectly,  “The Lumberwood regions are contracting. Stretches of forest that once seemed boundless are all but gone, and many a stream is quiet that once ran full of logs and echoed to the song of the river driver.”   I just loved that passage, so poetic. Basically, the lumberjacks of old would camp in the woods where they worked, and often they would tell strange tales around the campfires at night about creatures they had seen while working in the forest. William T. Cox's book from 1910 called Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods was a wonderful resource for this episode because it is full of weird, wonderful creatures and mountain beasts, like the Snoligoster, the tote-road Shagamaw (which resembles a large hooved faun), & my personal favorite the Squonk. Tom, I'd be willing to bet my entire

Creepy Baby Dolls Episode 22

I would like to tell the tale of how I ended up with not one, not two but 6 creepy baby dolls! And yes, you heard right, I'm a grown woman who is now the proud owner of 6 beautiful, beady eyed, ruffle dress wearing creepy dolls. But, are they haunted?  So, Tom, my co-host, poor guy, had no idea I was procuring the creepy babies. What a shock he had when he comes home from work to see all these beautiful baby dolls sitting on the table.  I've always wanted to get my hands on haunted items, so with Facebook marketplace and virtual yard-sales taking place, I finally got lucky. One of my friends offered up one at a price I couldn't resist. Then without hesitation one of her friends commenting on the post and mentioned she had a few she wanted to get rid of because they were quote “creeping out her grandchildren”. I jumped at this opportunity. But I was a little hesitant, what kind of paranormal strangeness was I getting myself in to? I've tried to keep up with them accordin
