I Used to Work in a Fire Tower with a Strange Set of Rules Part 1 — The Warehouse Night Shift Jun 12, 2024

Show notes

A former fire-tower ranger takes a warehouse security job with an unusual rule sheet: follow the colored lines, keep to the schedule and leave certain doors alone. Michael Kelso’s “I Used to Work in a Fire Tower with a Strange Set of Rules: Part 1” begins a night shift where the building itself can become a trap. A missing supervisor and something inside a glowing container make the instructions harder to dismiss. This two-part workplace horror starts far from the ranger’s old tower.

Terrifying & True | Jasmine Richardson & Jeremy Steinke: The Medicine Hat Family Murders Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

The Richardson family murders began with an alarming relationship between a twelve-year-old and an adult man. Terrifying & True examines the 2006 killings in Medicine Hat, Alberta, and the roles of Jasmine Richardson and Jeremy Steinke. Messages, family conflict and separate trials form the center of a case often overshadowed by Steinke’s werewolf claims. The episode treats that persona as part of the story, not a supernatural explanation, while considering accountability and the difficult question of rehabilitation. How did violent fantasy become a plan to kill? We're telling that story tonight.

Show notes

Ida Lupino plays a wife terrorized by a husband who points an empty pistol at her and promises that one day it will fire. In “The Bullet,” Ruth Martin’s success running their business becomes another source of Harry’s resentment when he returns from prison. Unknown Broadcast presents this Suspense drama by Larry Marcus, with Elliott Lewis opposite Lupino. Jealousy, control and a threat others fail to take seriously drive a domestic thriller toward a dangerous confrontation. The gun may be unloaded, but Ruth has no reason to feel safe when Harry begins counting to three.

Terrifying & True | Oak Island Money Pit: Treasure Hunters, Flood Tunnels & Natural Sinkholes Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

Oak Island’s Money Pit has kept treasure hunters digging through flooded shafts, disputed clues and increasingly elaborate theories. Terrifying & True explores the Nova Scotia mystery, from the popular story of the first discovery to searches for pirate treasure and the idea of engineered flood tunnels. The episode weighs those claims against natural explanations and the long human cost of pursuing something no one can clearly identify. Each excavation adds another layer to the island’s story. Is there a hidden fortune below—or a mystery sustained by the search itself? We're telling that story tonight.
