Episode 130: California's Most Haunted Places

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/10/04

Send us a textSpooky season is upon us! And we're celebrating in style. It just didn't seem right to devote two entire episodes to news during the most special month of October, so instead, we're embarking on a new mini-series celebrating the best haunts from all 50 states. We're kicking things off in California, whose list of spooky specters is as long as the state is large. We'll explore deadly waters surrounding the Point Sur Lighthouse, peek behind closed doors at the Brookdale Lodge and ...

Episode 129: The Terror of Franklin's Failed Expedition

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/09/27

Send us a textIn 1845, a crew of 134 men set out in search of the elusive Northwest Passage, hoping to find a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Armed with thousands of canned goods, gallons of lemon juice and a passion for adventure, they set forth on the HMS Terror and Erebus, ready for a taste of glory. Instead, they found themselves stuck at sea for more than three years, their ships encased in thick, unforgiving ice. When it refused to thaw in 1848, the men abandoned ship ...

Episode 128: You Just Never Know

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/09/20

Send us a textDearest coven, by now you've probably learned to expect the unexpected on this podcast. That lesson will serve you especially well this week, as we cover all kinds of weirdness. Halee recounts her awkward grad school dating life, there are 8 year olds driving SUVs, and the Titanic is probably haunted. You'll hear our hot takes on affirmative action, we'll talk UFOs in Mexico and China, and get back into real estate drama- we just can't stay away! That's not even an exhaustive li...

Episode 127: Killdozer

2024/09/13

Send us a textOn June 4th, 2004, Marvin Heemeyer embarked on a rampage in his fortified Komatsu bulldozer that would forever change the town of Granby, CO. But before Killdozer, there was Marvin the welder, who loved snowmobiling and being outdoors. How did this seemingly normal man go from well-loved community member to the manifesto spouting anti-government character in the headlines? This week we'll explore the origin of this sad and shocking story, and ask ourselves the important and diff...

Send us a textOh coven, you're in for such a treat this week. You may have figured out last week from our subtle hints and spooky foreshadowing that we're bringing back a tried and true favorite- spooky hour! We finally tackle one of our shared obsessions... glitches in the matrix. Have you ever lost time that you couldn't account for? Had a strange occurrence that you just couldn't explain? Sometimes the answer is simpler than we might realize- we actually live in a simulation and sometimes ...

Episode 125: This One's a Tangent

2024/08/30

Send us a textAs the title suggests, this episode is anything but linear. We're taking you on a roller coaster ride of tangents, all the way from Elise's opinion on Longlegs to politicians helping the homeless. Of course we'll bring you some actual news, including one theme park's ridiculous law suit and the solving of a 40-year old cold case through DNA. In an episode of true tangents, we'll also discuss how DNA gets into the hands of law enforcement and ask whether we should be giving it aw...

Episode 124: Death Valley Germans

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/08/23

America’s National Parks are as inspiring as they are humbling. Their vast landscapes provide a place for adventure and exploration, but solitude can turn deadly if you’re not prepared. At 3.4 million acres, Death Valley is the most sprawling and desolate park in the Lower 48. Reaching temperatures of 134 degrees, much of its landscape is inhabitable and unforgiving. In 1996, four German tourists entered the park completely unprepared for the kind of topography and environment they’d encounte...

It's time for another cryptid roundup, and this time we're heading to halee's homeland to learn all about two famous PNW sea monsters! First we'll talk about Caborasaurus, a long, creepy serpent with a horse's head that has been spotted hundreds of times in the Vancouver Island area (and beyond) in the past 200 years. Is it the real deal, or the desperate imaginings of 2 quasi-scientists? Next, we'll discuss a cryptid you've heard us mention before... the infamous Ogopogo. We'll dig into the ...

It’s our first news update in what feels like forever! And you better believe it’s a good one. We’re covering crime-fighting eleven year old girls, babies who survive the unthinkable and idol culture in Japan. We’ll hear about Halee’s latest obsession - a self-published memoir laden with conspiracy theories, gifted by a fellow islander. Elise promises a future reading from a sure-to-be classic in erotic vampire fiction, and we’ll give our opinions on the hotly debated Ballerina Farm expose. N...

2024/07/26

We’re back, witches! Did you think we’d leave you for months again? Not this time! We’re diving back into the world of true crime with a cold case from Breckenridge, CO. Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee went missing within hours of one another on a snowy night in 1982. Their crime scenes would hold two key pieces of evidence that would have investigators asking if this was the work of one man. Premonitions, playing cards and episodes of Unsolved Mysteries would all play a part in solvi...

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/06/28

In 2016, Keith and Sherri Papini appeared, by all accounts, to be a picture perfect family. They lived in a quiet suburb in northern California with their 2 beautiful children, and Sherri lovingly referred to their life as her 'happily ever after'. But when Sherri vanished without a trace on November 2, 2016, their lives would be turned upside down andf those around them would come to realize that all was not as it seemed.

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/06/21

The world is just as depraved as it was last news update, folks. Maybe even more so. And it seems a lot of the depravity resides in Florida! A man killed an entire family and then burned the evidence, but not before FaceTiming a friend with everything visible on camera. A woman murdered her boyfriend by zipping him up in a suitcase as she filmed his struggle, and later claimed she just fell asleep. There may be many criminals in the Sunshine State, but they’re certainly not the brightest. Hal...

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/06/14

The world of the ooky spooky doesn’t belong to cryptids, ghosts and aliens alone. Turns out, we humans are pretty spooky, too, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. The heart is synonymous with love and the soul. But what would happen If you received the heart of someone else? Would you still be you? Is it possible that you’d take on traits and attributes from your donor? Sounds crazy, right? Turns out, your cells might hold on to memories, and should you ever need an organ, tho...

This week, everyone's "good thing" is going to be that Halee went to UFO Fest and has returned to delight us with her findings. Shocker - aliens are real. Duh! We'll hear compelling firsthand accounts from military whistleblower Ryan Graves, and best of all, we'll get Jessiah's take on all things spooky. In the news, we'll hear about witches and warlocks duking it out (aka, old people being taken advantage of.) We'll learn that cheese mongers don't just specialize in cheese, but also defend t...

Episode 112: The Clutter Family - Murdered In Cold Blood

Easy Bake Coven ·

2024/05/17

In 1959, the town of Holcomb, Kansas was a quiet farming community. People left their doors unlocked because nothing really bad ever happened there. But all that changed on November 15 when the Clutter family was found brutally murdered inside their two-story farmhouse. The motive wasn’t clear. Was it a revenge killing? A robbery gone wrong? Maybe a serial killer? Detectives sifted through hundreds of tips before receiving a call from a prison inmate who claimed he knew who killed the C...

Happy Friday, coven! This week takes us on a wild adventure. We have animal travel - cats being shipped and dogs flying on airplanes. Speaking of airplanes, did y'all know there are people in charge of coordinating caskets flying across the world and sometimes they mess up their job?! We delve into the true crime world, with an abduction (and thankful recovery) of a 10 month old baby, and the disappearance and murder of 3 surfers in Mexico.
