In days of yore, Yule was a time to connect with and embrace the spirits around us - both good and bad. Particularly during the Victorian era, it was a time for families to gather and tell stories of haunting encounters, often with meaningful lessons behind them. It turns out that the holidays can be much more sinister than what we've been led to believe. This holiday season, join us in embracing...

In 2016, Twilight was all the rage. The love story of Edward and Bella was rivalled by many tweens who strived for that same deep connection of the main characters. Most young people were able to differentiate between fiction and reality, but for kids like Kim Edwards and Lucas Markham, that connection was all that mattered. Without the superhuman abilities that Edward and Jacob are able to use, w...

When people around the world think of Canada, there are common images that come to mind: a moose, a beaver, maybe a lumberjack with a cup from Tim's in hand. But behind the maple glaze covering people's views, Canada holds a plethora of cryptic stories and wild creatures that lurk in the wintery forests. Largely influenced by indigenous Canadians, tales of cryptids across the country are told all...

The psychology behind delusion is not yet fully explored - what is it that leads people to believe in new realities? In the case of 12-year-olds Morgan and Anissa, the driving force behind their murderous mission was an eight-foot-tall supernatural anomaly: the Slenderman. Where did he come from? What about him drew the girls in? Perhaps most importantly, how did an entry into a photoshop thread c...

People say that love makes us do crazy things. For some, that means stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things; for others, love leads them to personal growth and happiness. In the case of Gwendolyn Graham and Catherine Wood, love was the driving force behind their murderous spree at Alpine Manor Nursing Home in the '80s. Join us for the first of our spooky October episodes as we te...

Bigfoot. Nessie. Mothman. Creatures we all know and love. The cryptids that have found their way into the mainstream conversation are popular for a reason, and have left a significant mark on the world as we know it; but what about those lesser-known legends lurking in the shadows around us? Join us this week as we journey through Italy , Germany, Scotland, and the USA in search of the mythical be...

For many people across the globe, religion can be a source of great comfort and serenity. There is personal freedom to follow whatever one's heart is drawn to, and with that freedom comes a sense of belonging in a world that can be difficult to understand. But what happens when someone chooses to enact that freedom and leave the church? When it comes to Scientology, that could be the biggest mista...

This week's episode comes with a content warning as there's no way to avoid gore this time around!  Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill, and Leatherface - all some of the most iconic horror characters in cinematic history. Perhaps the scariest part is that they were all inspired by one real man: Ed Gein. No horror film could do justice to the real-life horror behind Gein's actions. Join us as we deep...

In Episode Three, we take a little dive into the history and conspiracy behind one of the most secretive fraternal organizations in existence: the Freemasons! Let's take a look at what's really going on inside the lodges most of us will never enter, and at some of the most interesting people to come out of them. How are they connected to the Illuminati? Why is there to be no talk of religion or po...
