Episode 150: The Donner Party- Part 1

Easy Bake Coven ·

2025/03/07

Send us a text In the spring of 1846, over 500 covered wagons set off from Independence, Missouri, headed West towards a new life. They could not fathom the difficulties and harsh conditions they would encounter along their journey, and this was especially true for one group of pioneers, now infamously known as the Donner Party. Most have heard salacious headlines outlining the gruesome atrocities committed by the group, but not many know the equally fascinating story of the beginning of thei...

Episode 149: The True Story of Lorena Bobbitt

Easy Bake Coven ·

2025/02/14

Send us a text It's Valentine's Day, coven! And nothing says true love like a woman saving herself from her abuser. The story of Lorena Bobbitt is a muddled one, evoking images of an angry, jealous woman who exacted her revenge by cutting off her husband's penis. The true story, however, is much more sinister. John Wayne Bobbitt, while quite simple-minded, was anything but innocent. In the words of Cell Block Tango, "He had it coming," just not in the way he hoped. Tonight, we'll explore John...

Send us a text What a week it's been, y'all. Tonight's episode focuses on mental respite in the form of laughter, and we invite you to escape from the real world for just a moment and join us for silliness... and maybe too much wine. This week we cover all manner of ridiculous news, from sasquatch hunts tearing apart marriages (surprisingly neither of ours), to finding out just what happens when you consume too much cheese. We'll talk Turkish UFOs, egg-related crime, and stupid vampire castle...

Send us a textCoven, you've heard us share our constant worry that we're both dangerously susceptible to joining a cult. This week, we're really putting our strong will to the test as we cover arguably the coolest cult we've ever heard of. It's got the first female truck driver in Brazilian history, it's got aliens, it's got astral projection, it's got super rad outfits, and it has friendly Jesus. What more could we ask for? In the 1950s, Neiva Chavez Zelaya had been suffering for years from ...

Send us a textThere’s no shortage of disappointments this week, but perhaps none so great as the realization that one woman was not, in fact, dating Brad Pitt. An $855k disappointment to be exact. And then there’s the gal who was reported dead while she was still very much alive, a man whose face was set ablaze during surgery and a train full of anti-tank missiles delivered to our favorite Swedish furniture store. You just can’t make this stuff up. Happy haunting! Get in touch! Follow us...

Neil Armstrong’s steps would go down in history as one of mankind’s greatest achievements. But there are those who question whether it happened at all. Was our technology really up to the task? Or were we fighting a losing battle against the Soviets, desperate to hold on to our reputation? We’ll explore the history of the Space Race and the tw...

This one is a real treat, as we dig up firsthand accounts of sightings of this elusive creature. First spotted in the 50s and 60s, he rose to local fame in the early 70s. But has he really been seen for centuries, just called by many different names? Or is he an invention of an avid hunter who wants free reign over ...

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/12/20

Send us a textIn 2012, FBI agents arrested a man for the murder of Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, Alaska. What they didn’t realize was that they’d apprehended one of America’s most prolific serial killers: Israel Keyes. Citing a split personality, Keyes went on a crime spree across the country for fourteen years, robbing banks, burning down houses and taking lives. He buried kill kits across the country so he’d never miss an opportunity, and he got away with it for years. After his arrest in 2...

Send us a textOn February 1, 2012, Samantha Koenig was taken from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Her disappearance made no sense to investigators. There weren't signs of a struggle, she'd sent an angry text to her boyfriend, and security footage showed two people walking through a parking lot arm in arm. But when a ransom note appeared weeks after her capture, accompanied by a disturbing photo of Samantha, investigators were sure she was in danger. ATM withdrawals would take detectives ...

2024/12/06

Send us a textThroughout the entirety of this podcast, we've heard this question over and over: "If UFOs are real, why haven't more people seen them?" It's a valid question, and yet the more we learn about extraterrestrial activity, the more we realize that people have been seeing them! And sometimes even on a massive scale. This week we'll learn about two such examples, where dozens and even hundreds of folks saw the same thing around the same place and time. First, we'll travel to Western M...
