Show notes

A woman and her daughter move into a new apartment and almost immediately, weird things start happening. First it was strange, vivid dreams.. but then it got worse. Nothing could be explained.

243: Survival: Denise Williams and the Weepy Voiced Killer Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

A series of attacks and murders ends with strange calls to 911. These calls weren't from the victims or the onlookers, but rather the killer himself. While he was so emotional on these calls he earned the name "the weepy voiced killer", it didn't seem to deter him from continuing his violent streak. That is, until he found someone that would cause his downfall.

242: Do No Harm: Dr. John Bodkin Adams Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

Dr. Adams was well respected partially because of the wealthy patients he helped. But behind the scenes, there was an ulterior motive. Or was there? What can be proven? What is simply rumor?
