We can only hope they don't go Rogue on us... This...

Today the site is known as Northern State Recreation Area , where you can hike through old pastures, past abandon buildings, and even through the cemetery.

This is a case that probably just about everyone in the Pacific Northwest has heard of and no one seems prepared to forget - as it should be! It’s been given an absolute insane amount of news coverage. It's every parents worst nightmare come to life when 7-year-old Kyron disappears from Skyline Elementary school in Portland, Oregon without a trace. Here you can see what he might have grown to look...

This week we take a little jaunt over to Ontario, Oregon. Where we discuss the urban legend of the “evil” witches that are up to no good at Malheur Butte . We think the “evil witch” thing is way over done, and we have some thoughts… But even if witches aren’t responsible, there still seems to be something guarding the land. We had theories from Slender Man to a crazed black bear ! All of it had us...

We bet the New Year has you feeling motivated to make 2023 a fantastic trip around the sun. You may even feel a bit nostalgic. So this week we brought you a case that feels like a dark, creepy time capsule from none other than Salem , Oregon's capital city. You'll likely recall some familiar names, like DA Chris Van Dyke and Randall Woodfield a.k.a The I-5 Killer . For a moment you might even be t...

‘Tis the season! But we know not everyone celebrates Christmas , so we found a not so holly, jolly story to tell that’s Christmas themed… but also not really! Kind of like how Mel's hole wasn't really just about a hole. We'll be taking a look at some of the surprisingly un-Christmas-like characteristics of the unincorporated community of Christmas Valley, Oregon! To fit this theme, we definitely u...

Which brings us our first celebrity haunt, (probably) the ghost of Rob...

The story of 15-year-old Jeanette Marie Maples seems far too horrific to be true. Even her mother Angela had a childhood marred by the sad story of tragedy and abuse. At each and every turn all of the possible safety nets and child welfare systems available failed. Despite clearly well-intentioned attempts to protect Jeanette, DHS would come under fire for their lack of follow through in her case....

How does a story about two college-aged young women from the Ivy League halls of Yale end up in the PNW? Good question! Wanna ride bikes?! Dated ADHD jokes aside - it really did involve a pretty intense bike ride. You may want to brace yourself and to swear off bike riding and camping for a bit. Honestly, we're exhausted just thinking about it, and this week the story is no different, it only gets...

Richard Troy Gillmore, also known as the Jogger Rapist, could be responsible for dozens of crimes that took place in the Portland Metro area in the 1970s and into the 1980s, prior to his arrest. He has been incarcerated for 36 years following his conviction for the singular sexual assault that was still within the statute of limitations. He will now be released in time to enjoy Christmas & New...

In honor of this momentous holiday, HALLOWEEN , we decided to give you the episode early this week AND explore out of the technical bounds of the Pacific Northwest - to Sapporo, Japan! Which just so happens to be one of Portland, Oregon's sister cities . Join us for a very short (I promise) history lesson, then on to a little ghost tour around the city. Although these places might not appear to ha...

We're wrapping up the truly wild and twisted tale of Ruth & Rolf Neslund. What can we say? We said it wouldn't be boring! But when the story starts with a man whose love-life was with complicated and often times overlapping romantic entanglements it tends to escalate pretty quickly. Ruth & Rolf Neslund may have seemed an unlikely pairing...but then Rolf seemed an unlikely candidate for sai...

Rolf Neslund was surely anything but boring. This was the case starting from a very early age and held true well into his adulthood and love-life, which was replete with very complicated and often times overlapping romantic entanglements. Ruth & Rolf Neslund may have seemed an unlikely pairing...but then Rolf seemed an unlikely candidate for sainthood . Almost as unlikely as the similarities b...

Over this past weekend - WE DID A THING! Our very first live and in-person presentation for PNW True Crime Fest at Green River College in Auburn, Washington. We covered Randall Woodfield, known as the I-5 Bandit, and later the I-5 Killer. The progression of his erratic and duplicitous deeds is a wild ride to say the least. It was amazing to meet so many incredible listeners, vendors, and fellow po...
