Warrior Women Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

Throughout history there have been tales and legends of powerful women. We've been praised for creating life, accused of inciting wars and everything in between. We are brave, strong and compassionate and when pushed to the edge, we're capable of anything and cannot be stopped. Even if we need to summon the spirits to take care of business. So be sure not to cross a warrior woman, or you may not survive.

First, a fight to the death

Followed by a mother’s deadly instinct

Then, the endless nightmare

Finally in our featured story, revenge in plain sight.

The Silent Ones Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

Whether you communicate via text, email or phone, there are endless possibilities to communicate with one another, but sometimes it’s the things that aren't said out loud, that are the most important. Sometimes it’s the subtext, or what we hear in the silence that can warn us when something bad is lurking, or when our life is in danger. And if you ignore those signs, then you might end up dead.

First, suffer in silence

Followed by don’t ignore the call

Then, a deadly sacrifice

Finally in our featured story, the silence will kill you

No one’s family is really normal. We all have our own unique circumstances, baggage and secrets. But at the end of the day family, be it chosen or biological, is bound together. Sometimes that’s a good thing to have your family's protection. But sometimes, it’s your family that can lead you down a dangerous path that you may not survive. Either way, family is always there.

It's Valentine's day, so we want to send our love and appreciation to all of our fans for tuning in every week.

Dealing with the Dead Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

We all respect healthcare workers and those who work to heal the afflicted. But a job that intense must be difficult to leave it at work and not take things personally. Alll humans can be affected by burnout and lack of sleep. And for those in high stakes jobs, one little slip up can be deadly. It's not only patients that suffer, they may inadvertently end up destroying themselves as well.

First, you can’t stop what isn’t there

Followed by don’t get bit

Then, a brush with death

Finally in our featured story, haunting hallucinations

Trespass and Die Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

We all know the places that you cannot go, or that are off limits. Sometimes we’re deterred by parents or trusted adults. Sometimes we hear urban legends and horror stories that warn us of certain locations that are dangerous and harmful. But sometimes… It's the danger that draws us in. The opportunity to be the explorer, the adventurous one who will go where no one else dares. And sometimes, trespassing in those places, will for sure get you killed.

First, a longing that kills you

Followed by a graveyard tale

Then, scratches in the basement

Finally in our featured story, a beast hiding in plain sight

What Lurks in the Void? Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

After the holidays, some of us are happy to have a break from family. We may even enjoy some time all alone in the middle of nowhere. And while some find comfort in the solitude... it can also be terrifying. The middle of nowhere is where the outcasts lurk, unsettled spirits roam, and beings stuck with our own thoughts may drive us insane.

First, a cautionary tale

Followed by something sinister in the house

Then, the darkness is calling

Finally in our featured story, beware of angering the G-ds

The holidays are officially over and we're all getting back to our old routines. But still with us from the holidays are all of the gifts and toys we may have received. Some of our presents turn into our most prized possessions. Others get buried under clutter in our closets. But many objects can take on a life of their own. And if that trinket or toy doesn't like the way it's being treated, it will find a way to take revenge and get back at you. The toys will takeover and it won’t be pretty.

The Demon in All of Us Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

So many of us go into the new year with a positive attitude, hope, and lots of resolutions. We make the choice to be better human beings who are kinder to one another. But we all have our inner demons. Good intentions for a fresh start can quickly turn into laziness, resentment, and even seeking revenge for those who have wronged you. And when those inner demons are uncaged, there’s no telling the damage you cause.

First, a mothers biggest fear

Followed by dark secrets buried

Then, who’s the real victim

Finally in our featured story, a South African cryptid legend
