Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon: What the Camera Saw Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

In April 2014, Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, two Dutch women in their early twenties, went for a daytime hike on a trail near Boquete, Panama. They never came back. Weeks later, their backpack was found on a jungle riverbank with their phones, camera, and cash still inside. What was on that camera changed everything: photographs taken in total darkness over several days, including what appears to be an SOS signal and one photo that had been deliberately deleted. Partial remains found months later were scattered miles from where their distress calls began and the official verdict of accidental death hasn't satisfied everyone. Was it a tragic accident, or did someone find them first?

Lemuria the Lost Continent Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

In the mid-1800s, a British naturalist named Philip Sclater proposed the existence of a vast sunken continent — Lemuria — to explain a gap in the fossil record. What began as a genuine scientific hypothesis was seized upon by occultists, racists, and spiritual movements, mutating over 150 years into a living religion practiced at the foot of a California volcano. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson traces how one man's theory about lemur fossils became the foundation for a conspiracy touching Atlantis, Theosophy, Nazism, and the New Age.

Dear David: The Ghost in the Replies Jun 14, 2026

Show notes

What began as a series of tweets about sleep paralysis turned into one of the internet’s most famous live-haunting stories. A man named Adam begins posting about a dead child with a misshapen head who appears first in dreams, then in photographs, then seemingly inside his apartment. Heidi walks through the Dear David thread as it unfolded in real time, and explores why serialized horror told through social media can make fiction feel more intimate — and more believable — than almost anything else online.

The End of the Summer of Love: The Manson Family Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

In the summer of 1969, Los Angeles was living in the long glow of the counterculture — until two nights of murders shattered it beyond repair. Charles Manson never held the knife himself, but he held something more powerful: the total psychological devotion of young men and women who would kill on his word. We examine how Manson built his family, what he promised them, the ideology of race war he called Helter Skelter, and the murders of Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, and five others that made the whole country lock its doors. Fifty years on, we ask what made Manson possible — and what made his followers willing.

Ben McDaniel: Into the Deep Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

In August 2010, 30-year-old Ben McDaniel suited up for a dive into Vortex Spring, a celebrated cave diving site in Florida, and descended into a narrow underwater passage. He never returned. One of the employees claimed to have watched Ben enter a restricted section of the cave, a passage that required advanced certification that Ben didn't have. Despite exhaustive underwater searches, his body was never recovered. Some believe Ben orchestrated his own disappearance. Others suspect he's still down there. But the cave may hold secrets that will never surface.
