Daniel Grothe's 'Piledrivers in the Crypt'
Daniel Grothe spent years doing live paranormal radio from a kitchen in Germany. Three hours. Open lines. No edits. No safety net. Nobody asked him to. He did it anyway. This is what happens next. Piledrivers in the Crypt is true crime, paranormal, UFOs, cults, cryptids, and the conspiracy culture that existed before you needed an influencer to explain it to you. Delivered with the seriousness the material deserves and the irritation the audience earns just by existing. No comfort. No conclusions. No episode where he learns something and grows as a person. Just the stuff everyone skips — cov...

Murder in a Box... Mayhem in the Bank! 08.06.2025 1:24:04
This week: the infamous Glass Box Killer . Yes, you read that right—someone out there is turning murder into an IKEA DIY project.

Spoiler: the only thing hotter than the action is the collective body odor in that...

The Brain in the Mirror! 30.03.2025 1:45:44

Resuscitation Point... 23.03.2025 2:11:49
Death isn’t a theory. It’s the one spoiler no one can rewrite. The moment your world flips, time stops, and death becomes more than just a concept. This isn’t ghost stories and urban legends. This is real . And I am afraid...
