2024/10/21

As the filming location of Some Like It Hot, the favorite vacation destination of author L. Frank Baum, and one of the last Victorian era hotels in the world, Hotel Del Coronado is famous for many reasons. It's also reportedly haunted, namely by the ghost of Kate Morgan who traveled there under mysterious circumstances in 1892.

2024/10/07

Like the "27 Club," the Curse of the Ninth is one of music's most infamous superstitions. Supposedly, completing a ninth symphony is essentially a death sentence. Composers go from composing to decomposing. In the ground. Dead. But how true is it, and where did it come from?

2024/10/03

Tragedy struck on August 16, 1920, when during a visiting game at the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Yankees, Cleveland shortstop and all-around affable guy Ray Chapman was beaned in the head by a "spitball" thrown by submarine pitcher Carl Mays.

The Dating Game Killer Was TV's Creepiest Game Show...

30 Morbid Minutes ·

2024/09/23

Back in the 1970s, a serial killer named Rodney Alcala managed to charm his way onto the hit show "The Dating Game" and even WON, but his creepy behavior off-camera raised a ton of red flags. Perhaps surprisingly, Alcala's not the only serial killer to go on a national syndicated game show. We ask why society's most notorious murderers willingly parade their identity for all to see, and get inside the psychology of Alcala and his twisted contemporaries.
