2026/01/15

WARNING UP FRONT: The demon static makes an uninvited comeback near the end of this episode. We don’t know why. We don’t know how. We are sorry in advance. Sorry ’bout it. Today we are ✨international✨, which means we’re talking with our hands and mispronouncing Italian words with confidence. We head to Poveglia Island, Italy’s most haunted little island of Nope, where plague victims were dumped en masse, the ground is basically made of human remains, and a wildly unethical doctor allegedly lost his

Chaos First, Murder Second

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2026/01/12

We kick things off exactly how you’d expect after 40-something episodes: nothing works. Mics are mad. The internet is offended. You’d think we’d have this figured out by now, but that would require growth—and we don’t do that here. Mischa is aggressively itchy for reasons science cannot explain, and Courtney is slowly but surely losing her last remaining marble about it.Once the gremlins are temporarily appeased, we dive headfirst into two absolutely horrifying cases: the murder of Cassie Jo

International Legends, Domestic Chaos

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2026/01/08

Today we attempt to discuss Castle Bran and the Loch Ness Monster, two Scottish legends that absolutely did not consent to this episode. But before we get anywhere near ancient stone walls or mysterious lake creatures, Courtney commits a culinary crime/genius move by making a sushi sandwich, and Lauren’s stomach begins eating itself from the inside out because she has once again forgotten to consume food like a functioning human.Because these stories are not American (and even if they were, let’s

Crunch, Cry, Clusterfuck: Papini & Peterson Edition

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2026/01/05

Before we even get into the horrors of humanity, Lauren finally got her mince meat tarts from her grandmother for Christmas. Yes, she is living her best holiday fantasy, and yes, we are jealous. Naturally, we have a tiny obligatory ASMR session with Mischa, featuring some pretzel slims because nothing says chaotic true crime podcast like crunchy snack noises.Once we’ve digested the pastries (and the pretzels), we spiral into pure madness: first up, the “kidnapping” of Sherri Papini — a case so

Welcome to January 1st, 2026 — same feral energy, same unhinged hosts, different calendar year. 🥂If you’re listening to this while doing laundry or cleaning your house: STOP IT RIGHT NOW. You’re about to wash away your good luck, your good spirits, and probably your will to live.

Jerry Brudos : The Final Act

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/12/29

It’s the third and final chapter in the Jerry Brudos saga, and honestly… we’re tired, emotionally damaged, and still fighting the equipment.The episode kicks off with the obligatory Mischa ASMR, because she simply must lick the microphone directly, followed immediately by yet another round of technical difficulties. You’d think by week 22 we’d have this figured out—but absolutely not. Consistency is a myth. Stability is fake. We persevere anyway. Once we finally get our shit together, we dive

Merry Chrysler to the Christmas Demons - and you,...

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/12/25

Merry Chrysler, ya filthy animals 🎄Today we’re decking the halls with creepy Christmas folklore, because nothing says holiday cheer like demon goats and child-eating giants. We’re diving into Krampus, the OG holiday menace, and then heading to Iceland to meet Grýla, her 13 feral Yule Lads, her lazy ass husband who contributes absolutely nothing, and the giant Yule Cat that will literally eat you if your outfit isn’t cute enough. Before we even get spooky, Lauren realizes she’s out of clean coffee

Its the most murderous time of the year!

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/12/22

This week on the pod, we’re decking the halls with true crime as we dive into two chilling Christmas tragedies: Charles Lawson and the Covina Massacre. While most people were trimming trees, singing carols, and setting out cookies for Santa, these stories remind us that not everyone was feeling the holiday cheer. From quiet winter nights turned deadly to celebrations that ended in unimaginable violence, these cases prove that Christmas isn’t always wrapped in bows and goodwill.Before we unwrap the

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/12/18

Welcome back to the disaster you willingly subscribe to every week! Today we plunge headfirst into the cold, crumbling halls of Eastern State Penitentiary—home to echoes, hauntings, and one very stressed-out Al Capone, who slowly unraveled inside those stone walls after the Valentine’s Day Massacre. We also flap our way into the bizarre world of the Snallygaster, because why cover just one nightmare creature when you can have two?But before we even make it to the spooky stuff, we derail in true

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/12/15

This week, we dive claw-first into Part 2 of the Jerry Brudos saga—aka the portion where things somehow get even darker, creepier, and way more “oh no absolutely not.” We break down the four murders and two abductions in full detail, because apparently we enjoy terrifying ourselves and everyone else.But before we get to the true-crime trauma, chaos calls: Mischa spent the entire night with an upset stomach because her daddy cannot resist giving her treats for literally breathing. Lauren, meanwhile,

Ghosts, Geyser, and Our Winged Emo King

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/12/11

This week’s episode is a full paranormal buffet, and we’re starting strong. Before we even get to the ghosts and cryptids, we take a detour straight into real-life horror: the recent escape and capture of Morgan Geyser. We can’t stop thinking about how absolutely terrifying that must’ve been for Peyton, and yes, we spiral about it for a bit because… of course we do.THEN we finally get to the main course: the Stone Lion Inn — home of ghosts, questionable sleepovers, Victorian vibes, and at least one

2025/12/08

Welcome to Part One of our 3-part descent into the bizarre world of Jerry Brudos — but honestly? This episode is only like… 40% true crime and 60% absolute side-quest chaos because we recorded on LAUREN’S BIRTHDAY and everything went straight off the rails IMMEDIATELY.To start, Lauren’s husband makes yet ANOTHER cameo, but this time he’s suffering from a very specific kind of short-term memory loss where he cannot, under ANY circumstances, remember what Courtney got Lauren for her birthday… even

Haunted Frequencies & Alabama Mysteries

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/12/04

Today, we dive headfirst into the shadowy weirdness of Skinwalker Ranch and the legendary Alabama White Thang (which, for legal reasons, is not Lauren’s husband—though he wishes he had that kind of cryptid clout).Before we can even hit “record,” both Lauren and Courtney get jump-scared by absolutely nothing—or maybe something—lurking just out of sight. Was it a ghost? A trick of the light? A producer stirring? No one knows, but Courtney screamed first, so she loses. Meanwhile, Lauren reveals an

2025/12/01

This week on the podcast, we attempt to discuss true crime… and immediately fail.We try to cover the unsolved West Mesa Murders and the case of Norman Flowers, but as usual, the universe (and our brains) have other plans. Lauren’s husband makes yet another cameo—because apparently he’s a full-time cast member now—and yes, he still thinks he’s the funniest person alive. Mischa, meanwhile, is deeply offended after I tattled to her daddy that she was inhaling all the chips like a tiny, squeaky vacuum

Ghosts of Thanksgiving Past (and Mischa’s Noisy Present)

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/11/27

This week’s episode begins with the mandatory Mischa ASMR, complete with crunches, sighs, and that “I’m the star and you’ll deal with it” energy. She blesses us with her presence… and then returns later with a squeaky toy solo that absolutely no one asked for but everyone gets. 🐾✨🎺We kick things off with the Thanksgiving Ghost of Marsh Bridge, where the vibes are cold, creepy, and extremely on-brand. Lauren confidently believes that the “firemen” who stoked coals on old steam trains were the

Welcome back, gobble gobble gremlins, to this week’s Thanksgiving Murder Spectacular, where the only thing carved more aggressively than the turkey is… well… the people in these stories. 😬🔪We kick off with the Guy Family Murders, a Thanksgiving nightmare so horrifying it makes burnt stuffing seem like a blessing. Lauren and Courtney unravel the grim details, question why holidays bring out everyone’s inner chaos goblin, and take several detours into “why do families always act up on holidays?”

This week on Haunted and Homicidal, we checked thoroughly — there are no goats at the Anchorage Hotel. None. Zero. Zilch. But you know what there is? Ghosts. So many ghosts.We’re diving headfirst (and probably uninvited) into the haunted halls of the Anchorage Hotel, where spirits like to overstay their welcome and TVs apparently have a life of their own. Lauren recounts her very own haunted television experience — complete with unexplainable noises, flickering screens, and a level of anxiety you

Code Blue! Code WTF? Killer Nurses: Do No Harm…ish

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/11/17

This week on Haunted and Homicidal, we dive scalp-first into the wild world of medical “professionals” who really said, “Do no harm? Never heard of her.”First up is Jolly Jane Toppan — a nurse described as “unattractively fat” (first of all, RUDE. The audacity. The Victorian era really had no chill). But behind that backhanded insult was a woman who loved two things: murder and making people almost die just so she could bring them back. You know… for funsies. Then we move on to Charles Cullen, the
