PNW Haunts & Homicides

We received more stories from you lovely creepy people to keep this going! Today we have a story from on of our Patreon friends, Aaron! He relays his sister’s terrifying experience in a dessert oasis... not as lovely as it sounds, the land definitely has some spooky history! Then we have a story from a new Portlander, Samantha (and her cat)! She writes of some strange happenings she experienced wh...

Rex Allan Krebs by all accounts was born into a family rife with vicious and violent abuse. Even though much of this true crime story takes place long after the awful, and sadly clearly formative experiences of his youth we'll get into some of those details that might inform the crime. In Part 2 we'll continue our coverage of his crimes, along with some of the details of how law enforcement was ab...

Rex Allan Krebs by all accounts was born into a family rife with vicious and violent abuse. But the meat of this true crime story takes place long after those horrific events took place. As troubled as his upbringing was, his eventual incarceration hardly seems like a surprising turn of events. In Part 1 we'll cover his crimes that occurred in the San Luis Obispo area, a coastal college haven that...

We've finally reached the thrilling conclusion of Mel’s Hole ! Today we pick up right where we left off, in Mel Water's 4th live interview on “Coast to Coast with Art Bell.” In which, Mel talks about some strange redactions in TerraServer imagery of his property . And oh yeah, THERE'S ANOTHER HOLE! If you thought Mel's saga couldn't get any stranger... oh boy, were you wrong! We literally cannot p...

We’re “On the Road Again” with Mel’s Hole ! Today we learn just exactly what Mel Waters has been up too in the 3 years since he'd been on the show “Coast to Coast with Art Bell.” Mel had reached his peak AND his pit in that 3 year span, with a roller coaster of a story. From adorable critters in a far away land, to possible abduction! Mel also reveals some very interesting items he'd dug up on his...

How do these cards apply to your life? Let us know! 🌟 Patreon gets video version of this bonus! 🌟 If you're enjoying our podcast, please consider leaving a rating & review on Apple Podcast...

Today we’re going to talk about a very unique hole, known as Mel’s Hole . Who is Mel, and what is so dang special about his hole? On Feb 21st 1997, a self described Willie Nelson Doppelgänger named Mel Waters, faxed radio talk show “Coast to Coast with Art Bell.” Art was so intrigued by Mel’s deep story, that he got him on the phone to talk about it on air. 5 phone interviews over the course of 5...

This week in a special segment we finally have a clever name for, "Sister City Crime," we're briefly touching on one of Caitlyn's major no-no topics with the case of Sofia Zhukova in one of Portland's sister cities . We're visiting the Russian city Khabarovsk. Some details are far too sadistic and salacious for the show notes but others like her missing date of birth are just wild! If the topic pr...

We touched on this topic a few times, most recently in Episode 69: Sex Demons . Now it's time to fully dive into this waking nightmare... you're welcome! Although a sleep paralysis event can be quite terrifying, and no one really knows WHY this happens, science can explain HOW this happens. So today Cassie will cram your brain with science facts and terms in hopes of dampening some of the very rea...

Nobody likes Mondays , it's a bit of a trope from Garfield to Office Space there's a wide array of example of social and artistic commentary about how much they suck. Today's story is about what appeared to be a simple, and for most people, nearly everyday occurrence of conflict in traffic. This encounter turned deadly for Herman Leslie Graham III in an instant. But this story isn't just about roa...

In honor of this being episode #69, we’re going to tell you all about the Incubus and Succubus, AKA Sex Demons. This episode does come with a trigger warning because encounters with these demons are usually not consensual. We discuss how this compares too engaging in sexual activities with ghosts (Disturbingly Pragmatic episode with Brocarde’s story) . And how scientific terms, like sleep paralysi...

We’re so excited to share more stories from our creepy fam! We start with a very sweet update from Volume 1. 🌈 Next, we hear about Kyle’s spooky experience with a Rainier Beer loving spirit, while working at The Rialto in Portland, Oregon. 🍺 👻 Mixed with a small dose of building history from Cassie. Then Caitlyn reads Kalee’s heartbreaking #maybebundy story, that gave us some serious chills… Th...

Cassie takes a wild ride though Seattle, getting severely spooked & checking out some very cool places that we "highly recommend." 😎 Then we talk about a historic bar that totally stole our hearts! We just couldn't take it when we found out it was not able to reopen after the Covid-19 quarantine... Re-bar in Seattle, Washington was “…a home base for freaks, geeks, drag queens, bikers, punks,...

This week there's no clever title we're sticking with the name coined for a series of stories that take place along the highway that makes the devastating facts of the case all too clear on its own. Links to the references I would highly recommend for any further independent study on this topic: Highway of Tears Documentary you can watch the Official Trailer here and the Highway of Tears Book . 📖...

If you live in the Portland, OR area, you might be in luck! Today we’re talking about some good options for shelter , if… and when the zombie apocalypse happens! We’ll also go over some fun ways to prep for an outbreak, including learning the Thriller dance ! This episode wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t include an origin story about everyones favorite (love to hate - hate to love) monster. So gr...

Nancy Crampton Brophy is among the most duplicitous of dames, and you guessed it - she left a trail of “I did it” bread crumbs for detectives. As both an aspiring romance/thriller writer and an insurance sales person she thought she could write a different ending to her story . Much like her reportedly fumbling attempts in the literary world it didn't quite work out like she planned. When she murd...

We start this episode by going over the meaning of a lost crystal . Sadly, Cassie recently experienced this and wanted to share her findings. Then while we’re already on a witchy topic, we might as well cover the Witch’s Castle in Portland, OR! Local legends swirl around this magical, abandoned, moss covered, stone building. But there is more than just urban legend buried in the dark history of th...

Prepare for jet lag. We visit a long list of places with this case: Florida, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, even British Columbia. We're reminded of the importance of proper evidence collection as this episode stirs some memories of both Episode 13 as well as other cases where DNA led to the discovery of the alleged perpetrator (like in Episode 43)...

For this very phallic episode, Trevin is joined by Caitlyn and Cassie of PNW Haunts & Homicides. The three dive into the dilemmas of fast podcasts, poor sleep and what happens when your lawn mower tries to breakup with you. Before stories, Trevin shares a Killer Fact that leaves the girls believing in magic. Then it's time to get nuts, as our powers combine to complete the perfect male member....

We celebrate our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! 🥳🍾🥂 We’re also officially launching our brand new MERCH!! 🎉 We’ve poured our blood, sweat, & more than a few tears into this. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 We spent the night at The McMenamins White Eagle Saloon & Hotel in North Portland, OR and learned the history of the building as we talked about the paranormal encounters at the saloon. We did our tarot reading o...

This week we're digging a bit deeper into Kirby Anthoney's crimes. We'd really rather not. We just celebrated our one year podiversary but, of course, we have to come back and finish this horrific case up. We'll cut to the chase, there's not a single redeeming feature or fact in the case to be found on his behalf. Last week we talked briefly about his early life and the horrific crimes he commit i...

Kirby Anthoney might be one of the most dangerous and inconceivably violent criminals that you’ve probably never heard of. Though he was born just two days before Christmas he was certainly no gift to anyone that crossed his path. He commit horrible crimes in his home state of Idaho before his eventual arrest for a vicious attack against his own family, resulting in his 357 year sentence behind ba...

Welcome to a very special episode this week! Brought to you by… well, YOU! We’re SO excited to read some of the stories you creepy people have sent to us, that we just can’t use enough exclamation points!!! We have a variety of encounters including crime scenes that are a little too close for comfort, a murder closet, possible demons, kitty cats, & a very sweet message from the beyond delivere...

We're tackling another corporate scandal. Remember the ghost cattle from our collab in Episode 34 w/ A Nefarious Nightmare ? Netflix recently released the documentary, Downfall: The Case Against Boeing . After weeks of research and reading including, Flying Blind by Peter Robison we're ready to break it all down. The Patreon gets a bonus episode covering more of the salacious scandal. Just remembe...
