Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/11/24

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?”

No Goats, Just Ghosts and a Frog Wizard

2025/11/20

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

Welcome back, you gloriously chaotic creeps, to another episode of Haunted and Homicidal — the only show where haunted plantations, cryptid gossip, and mild emotional damage come together over the promise of pizza for dinner.This week, we’re heading deep into the swampy, ghost-infested heart of Louisiana to uncover The Myrtles Plantation, one of America’s most haunted homes — complete with mysterious murders, restless spirits, and way too many portraits that stare directly into your soul.

Murder, Gaslighting, and a HUGE side of incompetence

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/11/10

🚨 Trigger Warning: this episode contains heinous crimes, frustrated ranting, and Lauren & Courtney losing the last of their sanity in real time. This week we dive into the absolutely deranged mind of Albert DeSalvo, the so-called “Boston Strangler” — a man who somehow managed to convince the world (and maybe even himself?) that he was the one behind a string of brutal murders… while casually terrorizing women like it was his full-time hobby. We unravel his “confession,” his questionable memory,

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/11/06

Grab your EMF detectors, your rosaries, and your questionable life choices because this episode is a fever dream. Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst into the Lizzie Borden House—yes, that one—where good ol’ Lizzie allegedly played Fruit Ninja with her parents in Fall River, Massachusetts. We dramatically (and with zero rhythm) recite the infamous poem:Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks; When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one.

Knives, Nightmares, and Nonsense: The Doodler & The...

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/11/03

This week on Haunted and Homicidal, your favorite chaotic duo dives headfirst into two horrifying tales that sound like they were made up during a fever dream but are, unfortunately, 100% real. First up: The Black Doodler — the mysterious San Francisco serial killer who sketched his victims before murdering them. Because apparently, murder wasn’t enough — he had to add an arts-and-crafts twist. Lauren immediately questions whether he used a sketchpad or napkins from a diner, Courtney’s convinced

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/30

This week’s special Halloween episode is brought to you by pure mischief, caffeine, and the unrelenting crunch of Mischa’s ASMR debut (yes, she starts the show AND demands booty scratches throughout — union rules or something).Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst — and possibly headless — into The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, where they bravely mispronounce approximately 73% of the words (because let’s be honest, we can barely pronounce the ones we do know). Somewhere between “Ichabod Crane” and “is it

The Trick-or-Treat Murder & The Candy-Coated Chaos

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/27

It’s Halloween week, ghouls — and this episode is running purely on chaos, caffeine, and the haunting realization that no amount of energy drinks can fix a 6 a.m. photoshoot. Lauren and Courtney are barely functioning humans, Mischa is unhinged (and physically assaults Courtney mid-recording in her desperate quest for butt scratches), and we’re diving headfirst into two of the most Halloween-core cases ever: Ronald Clark O’Bryan, a.k.a. The Candy Man Killer, and Peter Fabiano, the poor soul taken

From Hysterical Women to Howling Skin Walkers

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/23

This week, we take a delightfully unhinged trip to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum — where the admission criteria seem to have been written by Gaston LeGume himself. Because honestly, who needs a woman that reads books? Next thing you know, she’s thinking… and we can’t have that, now can we? Insert aggressive 1800s misogyny and fainting couch noises here.But wait — it gets spookier. We’re diving deep into the Navajo legend of the Skin Walkers, not the watered-down, white-washed “Western movie

The Green River Killer: Part 2 — How the Hell Was He...

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/20

Trigger Warning:This episode contains an Olympic-level amount of “fucks.” They fly freely, passionately, and with purpose. If you’re keeping a tally, good luck—Courtney lost count 20 minutes in, and Lauren gave up somewhere around the 37th “fuck” when the rage hit full tilt. In the shocking conclusion of our two-part Green River Killer deep dive, we pick up where we left off—continuing through the final list of Gary Ridgway’s 49 confirmed victims. As we read their names and stories, we’re

Pennhurst, Pizza, and the Goat-Sucker Supreme

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/16

This week your favorite spooky duo went full Pennhurst Sanitorium mode — yes, the one crawling with ghosts, creaks, and vibes so cursed that even our microphones tried to quit halfway through. Then we slide (chaotically, like we always do) straight into the desert hunting for the Chupacabra, aka the cryptid that looks like it got designed by a bored middle-schooler during detention and somehow got its own Netflix doc treatment.But don’t worry, we keep it classy — because while we’re talking about

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/13

Trigger Warning: This episode contains a disturbing amount of “fucks.” Like, genuinely—so many that even Gary Ridgway might’ve blushed (and that’s saying something). Proceed with snacks, caffeine, and perhaps a sage bundle. Episode Description: In Part One of our deep dive into one of America’s most prolific serial killers, we unravel the twisted origins of Gary Leon Ridgway—the man who smiled through sermons, cried during Bible readings, and somehow thought murder was part of his life plan.

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/09

Grab your sage bundles and your emotional-support breadsticks, because this week, chaos takes a colonial turn! 🏚️Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst into The House of the Seven Gables — that haunted slice of Salem history dripping with Gothic guilt, family curses, and some good ol’ witch trial trauma. We unpack the dark history of the Turner family, the lingering energy of wrongful accusations, and how Nathaniel Hawthorne basically said, “Let’s trauma dump… but make it literary.” Then things get

Walter, Walker, Whatever: Murder & Mayhem

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/06

This week we’re diving headfirst into some truly sinister history: 🔪 First up is Serial Killer Gary Alan Walker—a man who made small-town horror a living reality. The details are grisly, the psychology is twisted, and yes…we dragged y’all into the deep end with us. (Also, Lauren keeps calling him Walter because apparently reading is hard, and we’re just rolling with it at this point.) ☠️ Then we jump to the story of Mary Creighton, whose preferred hobby wasn’t knitting or gardening…it was poison

Ghosts, Ghouls, and What-the-Hellery

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/10/02

Pack your sage, prepare your best “WTF” face (Lauren’s already making hers), and settle in because this week’s stories are a ride:Waverly Sanitorium – Kentucky’s creepiest TB hospital, where patients “relaxed” in lung chairs (Courtney can't spell, but what else is new?). Picture rows of bundled patients breathing in “fresh air,” while the halls filled with shadow people, disembodied voices, and Timmy the eternal ball-playing ghost. Add in the infamous death tunnel (aka paranormal Slip ’N Slide)

Explosions, Holy Murder, and Zero Chill

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/09/29

Strap in, because this week we’re dragging you through the shadowy rabbit holes of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber—the hermit-genius who waged war on modern society with handcrafted bombs—and Thomas Piper, Boston’s “Holy Horror” sexton whose pious exterior hid a murderous streak. As we peel back layers of paranoia, violence, and hypocrisy, Lauren confesses her absolute terror of tunnels (she literally goes blue holding her breath until daylight reappears), while Mischa delivers her unhinged hot takes

Winchester Walls, Mermaid Calls & Roo Roo...

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/09/25

We ease in with Mischa’s ASMR whispers, because nothing sets the mood like a soothing voice before the inevitable Roo Roo chaos kicks down the door. First up: the Winchester Mystery House—the mansion of endless staircases, doors to nowhere, and vibes that scream, “you’re probably lost forever.” We unpack the legend, the ghosts and debate whether or not it should be "groaning in pain" or "moaning in pain"... Lauren is on #teamgroan. Courtney doesn't care. Next: Mermaids. Not the singing, bubbly

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of extreme violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and murder. Listener discretion is not just advised—it is absolutely necessary. Please take care of yourselves before deciding to listen. This week, we dive headfirst into the dark, gut-wrenching cases of two absolute monsters: Stephen Richards, one of the earliest recorded serial killers in American history, and the disgusting, irredeemable, complete piece of shit Joseph Duncan, whose

Murder Houses, Cryptid Cousins, and Static That Won’t...

Haunted and Homicidal ·

2025/09/18

This week we’re diving headfirst into double the creepy, double the chaos. First up: the infamous Boise Murder House—a place where the wallpaper probably peels itself off in protest and the ghosts are definitely rolling their eyes at us for laughing too hard. Then we wander (ill-advisedly) into the woods to talk about the Woods Devil, a cryptid that’s basically Bigfoot’s awkward, skinnier, tree-hugging cousin. And speaking of Bigfoot, we couldn’t resist pulling in that classic Mitch Hedberg
