Welcome to our First Season of The Pandemonium!

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - this time we’re talking about insurance fraud, thievery, child abuse, escaping prison, bigamy, and small men’s fragile egos.

 Today’s episode drops us into the 1950’s as we ride this carnival train down to the south and investigate Donald Henry Gaskins Jr, also known as PeeWee - AKA the Redneck Charles Manson.

Listen along with Cat, and Rachel (joined by our trusted librarian Sam, as we learn about schemes, and the twists and turns of long standing child abuse and the terrible nature of Pee Wee Gaskins.

The Pandemonium crew is back - and things are getting even more chaotic.

In this wildly unhinged episode, Cat and Rachel dive into the neon-lit chaos of Times Square, the drama of piano bars, mysterious bite marks, and grisly dismemberments - all while grappling with a fair amount of personal sexual confusion.

We’re heading back to the ‘90s and early 2000s, riding the rails through New York, New Jersey, and the dark corners in between to unravel the chilling story of Richard Rogers Jr. - better known as The Last Call Killer.

Strap in for a ride full of dark history, true crime horror, and the kind of spiraling commentary only Pandemonium can deliver.

The Pandemonium team returns - and this time, it’s really messed up.

Join Em, Cat, and Rachel as they spiral into one of the most disturbing cases in true crime history: cannibalism, necrophilia, dismemberment, tubs of acid, and a whole mess of sexual confusion.

This episode takes us back to the late 1970s through the early ’90s, deep into the twisted world of Jeffrey Dahmer - also known as The Milwaukee Cannibal, The Milwaukee Monster - or, as we’ve unofficially dubbed him, the People Nommer.

The Pandemonium crew is back with another unhinged deep dive - this time, into the twisted world of one of America’s most infamous serial killers.

Buckle up as we unravel the disturbing legacy of John Wayne Gacy - aka Pogo the Clown, The Killer Clown, and The Killer of Illinois. From construction sites and crawl spaces to fake police badges and suffocating secrets, this episode spans the late 1960s to early 1990s, dragging listeners through a true crime carnival of catastrophe.

If you’re into murder, mayhem, and morbid mysteries, you won’t want to miss this descent into Gacy’s nightmarish double life.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of murder, sexual assault, and death. 

Join Rachel, Cat, and Em as they navigate the horrors behind the makeup, expose the man behind the clown, and keep things as weirdly chaotic as ever.

The Pandemonium crew is back and more unhinged than ever!

In this episode, Rachel, Cat, and Cat’s husband Josh wade into the dark, blood-chilling history of Lake Lanier - a place as infamous for its eerie drownings as it is for the town buried beneath it.

We’re talking murder (obviously), shady construction, submerged cemeteries, rampant racism, and a disturbing number of false police reports.

What was once the thriving Black community of Oscarville became a drowned graveyard - and the lake above it now seems to thirst for lives.

From ghost stories to lynching to the curse people swear still lingers, we’re pulling back the murky waters to reveal a past some would rather forget. 

Warning: This episode contains discussions of racial violence and death. Listener discretion is advised.

The Pandemonium crew is back and diving headfirst into another wildly unhinged tale - this time, we’re heading to 1940s Canada for a story packed with murder (duh), rushed weddings, codeine-laced tea, and a suspiciously scenic cabin in the woods.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Josh as they unravel the twisted case of Christina Kettlewell - better known as The Eight Day Bride - and her entanglement with new husband John Ray Kettlewell and their ever-present best man, Ronald "Ronnie" Barrie. 

From the get-go, this bizarre love triangle raises more questions than answers: Was it love? Was it murder? Was it something else entirely?

With plenty of mystery, questionable motives, and just enough chaos to make you side-eye every honeymoon cabin forever, this episode is not one to miss. 

Warning: Discussions include death, mental health, drug use, and sexuality. Listener discretion is advised.

The Pandemonium team is back - and this time, it’s merder. That’s right, we’re taking a bloody detour from beaches and boardwalks to dive headfirst into the dark underbelly of sunny Santa Cruz, California.

Join Cat and Rachel as they unpack the twisted tale of Edmond Emil Kemper III - aka the Ogre of Santa Cruz. 

From haunted memories and decapitated dolls to co-eds and cold-blooded murder, this episode has it all: sand, surf, and severed limbs.

So grab your sunscreen and maybe a nightlight. Things are about to get even more unhinged.

Today's episode was a very emotional one and one that we were so grateful to be able to research and cover. 

Today, we recorded an episode about Rachel Hansen, who was just 19 years old when she passed away - 8 days before her 20th birthday. Not only was Rachel an amazing human and a beautiful soul, she was the embodiment of sunshine. She always went out of her way to help people, and was often donating her time and energy to help others in need.

Along with that, her mom and dad, Kim and Todd Hansen, started a dog rescue in her honor named ⁠Rachel's Rescue⁠. They have helped home over 200 dogs since they opened and have helped many more with their emotional and mental needs.

If you have any information to help capture her killer, please contact Silent Witness: 480-WIT-NESS or 480-948-6377 Or reach out to them online at: ⁠www.silentwitness.org⁠

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - this time we’re talking about - You guessed it - MERDER! We're talking about not just different kinks in this episode, but we're also talking about cannibalism, sharpened implements, and New York City's finest.

Today’s episode drops us right into the stunning metropolis this is New York, as we navigate along the windy streets and into the depraved mind of the murderer for today.

Listen along with Rachel, Cat, and Em as we learn about death, murder, dismembered corpses, cannibalism, the Brooklyn Vampire, The Werewolf of Wysteria, The Moon Maniac, and the Boogeyman, also known as Hamilton Howard "Albert" Fish.

The Pandemonium team is back with another unhinged episode - this time, we’re heading straight into the heart of haunted house horror.

We're talking spectral sightings, green ooze dripping from the walls, glowing-eyed pigs, and those infamous Polaroids that still send chills. 

Join Cat and Rachel as they cruise through the eerie suburbs of New York to uncover the infamous story of The Amityville Horror.

From its true crime roots and demonic rumors to blockbuster film franchises and pop culture infamy, this house is more than just haunted - it’s a legend.

Lock your doors and turn on the lights… Amityville is calling.

The Pandemonium team is back with our latest unhinged episode - and yes, it’s time for merder once again. This week, we’re sipping something deadly as we head to 1950s Australia to uncover the sweet-yet-sinister story of Caroline "Carrie" Grills.

Join Rachel and Cat as they explore the unsettling case of a grandmotherly killer with a taste for poison, comfort care gone wrong, and family members who never saw it coming.

From laced tea trays to dying relatives and deceptive smiles, this case proves that not all killers look the part.

Put the kettle on… just maybe don’t drink from it.

 The Pandemonium team is back with another unhinged dose of merder - and this time, we’re heading to the dark heart of Indiana farmland, where pigs weren’t the only ones being fed.

Join Rachel and Cat as they unearth the chilling story of Belle Gunness, the towering Black Widow of La Porte who lured unlucky suitors through lovelorn ads, and then made sure they never left.

With whispers of insurance fraud, suspicious fires, chopped-up corpses, and a body count that keeps rising, this case is anything but quaint.

She looked like a sweet mother - but she was hiding a butcher’s heart.

The Pandemonium crew is back and utterly unhinged in this wild ride of an episode - and yes, we’re talking about MERDER!

This week, Rachel, Cat, and Meg take you from the eerily peaceful hills of 1990s Aramoana to the disturbingly quaint countryside of 1880s New Zealand, where hobbits roam and secrets fester.

We’re diving headfirst into the tragic story of mass shooter David Gray, before hopping back in time to meet Minnie Dean - baby farmer, lean-to dweller, and one suspiciously polite lady with a very deadly habit.

Expect talk of rabbit's feet, hobbit holes, babies in chef hats (don’t ask), and the kind of historical horror that makes your skin crawl. 

Come for the chaos, stay for the crime - and maybe bring a blanket. This one gets weird.

 The Pandemonium team is back with a Case Exclusive Update - and this one will shake you to your core.

In today’s episode, we return to the cold corridors of the English healthcare system, where neonatal nurse Lucy Letby betrayed the very oath she took to protect. Acting as judge, jury, and executioner, Letby stands accused of the unthinkable: ending the lives of the most vulnerable infants in her care.

Join Cat, Rachel, and our special guest Sylvia as they unpack the latest developments in this deeply disturbing and ongoing case. 

From courtroom updates to the chilling psychology behind the crimes, this is one episode you won’t want to miss - but may need to take breaks from.

The Pandemonium crew is back with another delightfully unhinged episode - and this time, we’re serving MERDER with a side of haunted real estate. Join Rachel, Cat, and Em as we hack our way into one of America’s most chilling cold cases: the Villisca Axe Murders.

Set in the eerie stillness of rural Iowa in the early 1880's (ish), we’re talking about a whole family slaughtered in their beds, vagrant suspects, face mutilation, and a house that may still be holding a grudge. Isolated farmhouses, unlit roads, and a killer who vanished into the night - what more could you ask for?

So grab your EMF detectors and lock your doors… it’s about to get axe-identally terrifying.

 The Pandemonium team is back - and this time, we’re stirring up trouble in turn-of-the-century Missouri.

In this deliciously deranged episode, Rachel, Cat, and Em unravel the chilling tale of Bertha Gifford: a seemingly sweet old woman with a thing for baking…and poisoning.

We’re talking arsenic, a trail of sick (and suddenly dead) neighbors, some suspicious caretaking, and a body count that just kept rising. Add in a little cheating, a lot of bedside “compassion,” and a whole mess of secrets, and you’ve got Missouri’s first serial killer - and yep, she’s a lady.

Pull up a rocking chair and pour yourself something not made by Bertha. You’re gonna need it.

The Pandemonium team is back with another unhinged episode - and this time, we’re diving headfirst into the eerie, the unexplained, and the downright weird. 

Welcome to October - Pandemonium style. That’s right! We're discussing Cryptids, hauntings, and all things Spoopy for the ENTIRE month of October!

This episode we go from deep mining tunnels to French Cajun Louisiana, chasing the spooky trail of folklore, old wives’ tales, and unsettling local legends.

This week, Rachel and Cat crack open the chilling stories of the Tommy Knockers - the mischievous (and maybe murderous) cousins of leprechauns - and the haunting mystery of Louisiana’s Casket Girls and their rumored vampiric ties.

We’re talking empanadas, crosses, boarding houses, and a whole lot of creepy.

So grab your garlic, pour a drink, and settle in as we feed the Fae, confront some haunted nuns, and dig into the bones of folklore.

 The Pandemonium team is back with another dripping wet episode just in time for spooky season - and this time, we’re diving even deeper into the haunted waters of CRYPTID CHAOS. From eerie old wives’ tales to the soul-snatching sisters of the sea, Rachel and Cat are unraveling the haunting legends of La Llorona and the Kelpies.

We’re talking fishermen, seal skin, shapeshifters, and ghostly women with tears (and vengeance) to spare. It’s the second installment in our October Special Haunting Episodes: Women in Water - where hitchhiking ghosts lure men to their doom, and mythical seals might just be your long-lost wife.

Grab your floaties and hold your breath - because in this episode, the only thing deeper than the lore is the HELL NAW you'll be screaming.

The Pandemonium team is back and wilder than ever with another spine-tingling installment of our October cryptid series!

In this third episode of our spooky season saga, we’re diving into the dark heart of Native lore and swampy Southern nightmares - featuring stories of Skinwalkers and Rougarous. 

Join Cat, Meg, Rachel, and Em as we unravel twisted tales of corrupted healers, blood-hungry shape-shifters, undead folklore, and haunted ranches where nothing is as it seems.

We’re talking Navajo legend, Cajun werewolves, body part recycling (yep, you read that right), and a whole lot of coyote-fueled chaos.

Fair warning: this episode includes strong language, stronger cryptids, and some very questionable life choices.

 The Pandemonium crew is back with another unhinged plunge into cryptid chaos - and this time, we’re setting sail for the icy waters of island myth and maritime mayhem.

In the fourth installment of our October spooky series, we're diving deep into the legends of Selkies, those seductive, seal-skinned shapeshifters who lured sailors with more than just a song.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Meg as we wade through European folklore, explore the eerie waters of Orkney, and unpack tales of human skin suits, fishy seduction, and the line between love and abduction.

We’re talking WickieWatchies, ghostly ocean brides, and enough sea-salted swearing to keep Poseidon blushing.

It’s wet, weird, and full of warnings - because sometimes, the most haunting love stories live just beneath the waves.

The Pandemonium crew is back and more chaotic than ever with another dive into the world of CRYPTIDS!

In this fifth installment of our spooky October series, we’re waddling deep into the murky waters of cannibalistic legends, tribal shapeshifters, and, you guessed it: Floridian swamp whores.

Join Cat, Meg, and Em as they unravel eerie Native tribal stories, dissect the chilling mythology of the Wendigo (AKA Baconators), and go toe-to-toe with the elusive Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp.

There’s folklore, there’s filth, there’s a whole lot of swearing, and a generous dose of gossiping church ladies to boot.

It’s creepy, it’s cursed, and it’s everything you love about October. Come scream with us.

 The Pandemonium team is back and knee-deep in the mist for another unhinged journey into the realm of CRYPTIDS!

In our sixth October fright-fest, we’re traveling from the jagged cliffs of Europe to the fog-drenched coastlines of California, digging into tales that echo through colonial bloodlines and Catholic guilt.

Join Rachel and Cat as they pull back the veil on centuries-old omens, phantom watchers in the Santa Lucia Mountains, and cryptids with claws sharp enough to slice through the silence. We're talking Snallygasters, The Dark Watchers, and whatever the hell that thing in the fog is that’s definitely still watching you.

It’s folklore. It’s fear. It’s unfiltered. Let’s get haunted.

 The Pandemonium team is back with another delightfully deranged dive into CRYPTID CHAOS! In our seventh spooky October episode, we're creeping through the haunted hills of Wales and the dark woods of Germany - where shadowy figures stalk the mist and faeries don’t grant wishes, they steal your kids.

Join Rachel and Cat as they unravel the sinister lore of the Gwyllion, tangle with Krampus (the original Christmas menace), and encounter Bigfoot’s lesser-known little brother. From invisible hunters to holiday horrors, it’s a festive freakshow of folklore, forest fae, and children stuffed in sacks.

Swearing? Absolutely. Fear? Guaranteed. Festivities? Terrifying. Come get jolly with the ghouls.

The Pandemonium team is back and barreling down the dusty roads of the Beef State AKA The Biggest State in the South - TEXAS!

In this eighth bone-chilling installment of our Haunted ABC’s Road Trip, we’re steering straight into the heart of haunted hotels, cursed cemeteries, and murderous ghosts with a chip on their shoulder the size of the Alamo.

Join Rachel and Cat as they dig into Texas’ turbulent history, full of disembodied voices, desert death, and presidential poltergeists - including none other than LBJ’s favorite spooky stomping ground.

It’s history, it’s horror, and it’s hotter than hell out here.

Ghosts, guns, and ghastly legends - welcome to Texas.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re talking MORE CRYPTIDS! We're diving headfirst into ancient shadow lore, chilling tales rooted in Native tradition, and the bedtime warnings that were never just stories.

In this ninth installment of our Haunted House series, we’re going full feral October - covering Benadryl comas, sleep paralysis demons, and the bone-chilling legend of the Hat Man (yep, the Shadow People are back and worse than ever).

Join Rachel and Cat as they spiral into stories of invisible terrors, ghoulish silhouettes, and the boogeymen who thrive in the dark.

There's folklore, cursing, questionable coping mechanisms, and a whole lot of side-eye for anything lurking in the corners.

Turn off the lights, press play, and prepare to meet the creatures that come for you after the bedtime story ends.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode. This time, we’re getting lost inside a HAUNTED MANSION. That’s right: this week, we’re talking seances, ghostly apparitions, staircases that go nowhere, and the creepiest architectural fever dream to ever exist - the infamous Winchester Mystery House.

In this tenth episode of our Haunted October series, we’re spiraling through the twisted halls of San Jose’s most iconic spooky estate. From the cursed number 13 and bricked-up rooms, to trap doors and two-story drops straight to hell (probably), we’re exploring every weird, wild, and haunted corner of Sarah Winchester’s chaotic creation.

Join Cat, Rachel, and Em as they rant, cuss, and try not to get spiritually evicted by the many restless spirits still allegedly lurking inside.

One-inch staircases? Sealed rooms? Unfinished business from beyond the grave? Yeah. We’re in it now.

There’s folklore, fright, and a whole lot of swearing - all part of our Haunted ABC’s October road trip.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of MORE CRYPTIDS! We're talking mischievous mini-menaces from Native folklore, their hairy forest-dwelling cousins, and tales that make you think twice about camping ever again. In this twelfth October installment of our Haunted ABC’s road trip, we’re headed deep into the woods to uncover the spine-tingling stories of Pukwudgies - tiny, deadly fae who do not play nice - and the ever-elusive (and probably stinky) Sasquatch. Join Rachel and Cat for folklore, fear, forest-dwellers, and a fair amount of swearing as we unpack scary stories told in the dark - and things that might be watching from the trees.

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re unwrapping the strange, spooky, and surprisingly sacred History of Hallowtide! From All Hallows’ Eve to All Saints’ Day and Día de los Muertos, we’re digging into the roots of this three-day festival of the dead. We’re talking ancient customs, the real origins of Halloween, fake news about poisoned candy, the ever-important Candy Tax, and how different cultures and religions overlap when it comes to honoring the dearly departed. For our thirteenth (and luckiest) October episode, Cat, Rachel, Em, and Meg are bringing the folklore, the frights, the swearing, and the spirited storytelling.

So light a candle, grab your fun-sized Snickers, and join us for a deep dive into hobgoblins, haunted history, and the things that knock after dark.

PSA from your favorite feral crew: Don’t be a punk - don’t drive drunk. Call Tipsy Tow, your local non-emergency line, or snag a Lyft. Stay safe out there, ghouls & goblins!

The Pandemonium team is back with our newest unhinged episode - and this time, we’re diving into one of nature’s deadliest forces: HURRICANES. We’re not just talking shoddy building codes and fake weather reports - we’re unpacking the catastrophic storm that nearly wiped Galveston, Texas off the map. In this episode, we revisit the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history: the 1900 Galveston Hurricane - a brutal, wind-fueled nightmare that left behind chaos, mass graves, and trauma that still lingers like a storm-cloud over the Gulf. Join Rachel and Cat as we brave the storm to talk weathermen, crumbling infrastructure, haunted convents, and the sheer fury of Mother Nature when she’s in full rage mode.

This episode is wet, wild, and filled with unsettling facts - and yes, there’s still plenty of swearing.

We’re talking parking garages, grocery store mascots, fake names, and forensic breakthroughs - all tangled in a cold case that rattled law enforcement in the Pacific Northwest for decades. Today’s episode takes us back to Seattle, Washington, where the tragic disappearance of Susan Marie Millar Galvin - a vibrant receptionist with a bright future - remained a mystery for nearly 50 years. Join Cat and Rachel as they unpack the chilling details, twisty timelines, and breakthrough DNA evidence that finally brought long-overdue answers to a case that has haunted them both.

It’s eerie, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable - with plenty of swearing and a dash of justice.

The Pandemonium team is back with another unhinged episode - and yes, it’s MERDER time again. This week, we're diving headfirst into the dark side of TikTok fame and the horrifying unraveling of a toxic relationship that played out both online and off.

We're talking about narcissism, domestic violence, and the so-called "cocaine defense" - all wrapped up in a chilling double homicide that left even seasoned detectives reeling. 

Join Cat and Rachel as they break down the case of TikTok creator Ali Abulaban, his wife Anna, and her friend Rayburn Barron. What began as a whirlwind social media romance spiraled into jealousy, control, and an obsession with Scarface-level drama that ended in tragedy.

Grab your coffee (or something stronger) and buckle up - this is the TikTok tale they don’t want you to duet.

We’re talking about prostitutes, grand theft auto, disappearances, and stolen identities - but this isn’t some tabloid true crime fluff. In this episode, we dive deep into the chilling case of Aileen Wuornos, the infamous streetwalker turned serial killer who targeted unsuspecting men on the highways of Florida. What unfolded was a story so twisted and tragic that even seasoned investigators struggled to believe it.

Join Rachel and Cat as they unpack the heartbreaking past, shocking confessions, and media frenzy surrounding the woman dubbed the "Damsel of Death."

It’s Pretty Woman meets pure terror - with a body count.

Content note: This episode discusses sex work, violence, and abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

The Pandemonium team is back with another unhinged episode - and yes, it’s MERDER o’clock again. This week, we’re diving into the horrifying double life of a bachelor who once charmed national TV audiences… while hiding a secret so dark it spanned decades and left a coast-to-coast trail of victims.

From the sunny sprawl of California to the rain-soaked silence of Washington, and the towering skyline of New York City, this case takes us across the country and deep into the twisted world of Rodney Alcala - a man with a Polaroid camera, a motorcycle, and a smile that masked pure evil.

Join Cat and Rachel as they unravel the horrifying story of the women who vanished, the shocking evidence he left behind, and how one appearance on The Dating Game gave a serial killer nationwide exposure. What secrets did his camera capture? How did he get away with it for so long? And how did his crimes scar a generation?

Content note: This episode contains discussion of sexual violence, murder, and disturbing imagery. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

The Pandemonium team is back with another episode full of chaos, cackles, and cursed vessels. This time, we’re diving headfirst into a haunted tale from before the birth of the pod - one that’s equal parts spooky and unhinged.

Join Cat, Rachel, and guest co-host Meg as they unpack the caucasity of Girl Scouts in haunted hulls, ghostly apparitions of war-torn spirits, and the questionable nonsense that is maritime law.

From collisions with cruise ships to cursed state rooms and ships that really shouldn’t still be floating, we’re talking about the haunted USS Alabama, the notoriously spooky Queen Mary, and all the paranormal drama in between.

Ghosts, giggles, and just a dash of existential dread - this is one voyage you won’t want to miss.

The Pandemonium team is back with the brutal conclusion to one of the most horrifying cases we've ever covered: the story of Funk and Thorn - Fred and Rose West.

In this episode, Cat and Rachel return to the depths of depravity as they cover the victims who never got justice, the final arrest that took way too long, and the devastating legacy left in the wake of the Wests’ crimes. We also (unfortunately) deliver the worst family-related joke in the history of this podcast... and possibly ever.

We’ve officially lost our spoons. Again.

The Pandemonium team is back with an episode so revolting, we had to take a break mid-recording just to emotionally recover.

That’s right - this one left even Cat speechless.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Em as we dive headfirst into the truly stomach-churning story of Amelia Dyer, the Victorian-era baby farmer turned mass murderer who terrorized England from the 1860s to the 1890s. We’re talking child abuse, systemic failure, serial un-alivings, and a sewer system that saw far too much.

With multiple arrests that led nowhere, forged paperwork, and a trail of heartbreak masked as charity, this story is full of lying liars who lie - and babies who never stood a chance.

The Pandemonium team is back with another unhinged episode – and you guessed it - it’s time for some MERDER! This week, we’re scrubbing into the twisted tale of jealousy, deception, and deadly obsession deep in the cactus-lined heart of Texas.

We’re talking nurses, fake suicides, secret lovers, and one hell of a shady supply closet. In this episode, we unravel the chilling case of Traci Rhodes - a woman who played the role of a grieving wife while spinning a web of lies so outrageous, even the cops had trouble believing her.

Spoiler alert: her husband’s “sewer-slide” wasn’t quite what it seemed.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Meg as they dive into the sun-scorched mystery of a nurse with secrets, a husband who never saw it coming, and a crime so audacious it left a Texas town, and your hosts, absolutely speechless.

The Pandemonium team is taking a deep dive - literally - into one of the most legendary cryptids of all time - and Meg's personal favorite cryptid.

Is Nessie a prehistoric sea monster?

A very confused eel?

Or just an elaborate hoax that refuses to die?

With over 1,100 recorded sightings, sonar scans, grainy photos, and even a government-seized mystery corpse (yes, really), the Loch Ness Monster remains one of the greatest mysteries of our time. We’re talking ancient folklore, fake fossils, monster-hunting expeditions gone wrong, and a magician who claimed he summoned Nessie from the deep.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Meg as they wade through decades of hoaxes, scientific studies, and truly unhinged theories in search of the truth. Is there something lurking beneath the murky waters of Loch Ness, or is this just the world’s longest-running tourist trap? Grab your bagpipes and a dram of whisky - this one’s a beast.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Em as they take a nostalgic journey through our favorite moments from the past year while diving into the strange events of Christmas Eve, 1945, when a house fire in West Virginia supposedly claimed the lives of five Sodder children… except, their bodies were never found.
We’re talking about death threats over dinner, ladders that magically vanish, sketchy phone calls, and maybe a good ol’ fashioned kidnapping cover-up.
Were the Sodder kids taken?
Did they escape?
Or was this just the world's most suspicious electrical fire?
Put on your tin foil hats and grab a stiff drink, because this case will leave you questioning everything.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this time, we’re diving into a case that had America clutching its pearls and setting torches ablaze - the one and only Casey Anthony. 

You know her. You hate her. But do you know all the absurd, frustrating, and downright infuriating twists in this case?

We’re talking about the party girl who suddenly found herself a mom, the mysterious “Zanny the Nanny,” a smelly trunk that definitely didn’t just have a rotten pizza, and a defense strategy so chaotic it could’ve been scripted by a soap opera writer.
Join Cat, Rachel, and Em as they unravel the lies, the media circus, the WTF moments, and the ultimate verdict that sent the nation into a rage spiral straight out of Sharknado. From MySpace drama to courtroom theatrics, we’ve got it all.
Was Casey a grieving mother?

Or was she just the world’s worst liar?

The Pandemonium team is back, and this time, we’re talking about one of history’s OG black widows - a sweet little lady who loved taking care of the elderly… right up until they mysteriously dropped dead. 

Amy Archer-Gilligan ran a cozy little "rest home" in Connecticut, where the elderly could live out their golden years in peace. The only problem? They didn’t last long. 

With an alarming number of residents dying suspiciously fast (and right after signing over their life savings), people started asking questions - like why Amy was buying arsenic by the bucket.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Em as they dive into this twisted tale of poison, greed, and one seriously shady business model. 

Did Amy love money more than morals?

How did she manage to keep the bodies piling up for years without getting caught?

How did her crimes inspire one of Broadway’s most famous dark comedies? 

Warning: If you have a grandma who loves baking and mysteriously mentions life insurance, you may want to double-check that tea she just poured you.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this time, we’re diving into one of the most chilling and frustrating unsolved murders caught on camera. 

What do you get when you mix a Star Wars-loving, Harry Potter-obsessed woman, a mysterious hooded figure, and a brazen execution in broad daylight? You get the case of Elizabeth Barraza - a crime that is as senseless as it is terrifying.

Join Cat and Rachel as they break down the haunting final moments of Elizabeth’s life: a normal morning in her Texas driveway, setting up for a garage sale, until a hooded figure approaches, speaks to her briefly, and then - without warning - opens fire.

Who was the killer?

Why did they seem so calm and calculated? 

How the hell has no one been arrested, despite the crime being caught on video?

We’re talking mystery cars, eerie coincidences, a still-grieving husband, and a motive that just doesn’t add up. Buckle up, because this case will have you double-checking your security cameras and side-eyeing every hooded figure in sight.

This week, it’s just your favorite witches, Cat and Rachel, flying full-speed into the most chilling true crime rabbit hole we've ever fallen into. A viral Facebook post from Mendocino County has ignited whispers, gasps, and full-blown Zodiac Killer theories - because one woman claims her own father is not only a mass un-aliver, but possibly the infamous Zodiac. 

Dr. Jon Charles Trefil, a retired psychiatrist who is now living in a care facility, is at the center of this wild and terrifying storm. His daughter, Galina, has spent years trying to get law enforcement to take her seriously, and now the internet has joined in on the investigation.

From possible murder weapon handoffs to buried bodies in Mendocino forests, to eerie overlaps with the Zodiac's known crimes, we're laying it all out in the open.

We’re talking alleged confessions, law enforcement standstills, and a potential body count that spans decades and continents. Oh, and don’t worry - we’re also digging into the Zodiac case itself, comparing timelines, handwriting, and vibes. Because of course we are.

This week, Rachel, Cat, and Em dive axe-first into one of America's most infamous murder cases - the story of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Andrew Borden.

Accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother in 1892, Lizzie was tried and acquitted… but the mystery (and the ghost stories) never died.

Join us as we hack into the twisted timeline of events, the scandalous trial, and the legacy Lizzie left behind - including a house that’s reportedly just as haunted as her reputation. 

Expect Victorian repression, questionable alibis, spectral sightings, and the occasional unhinged theory from Cat. (Spoiler: the ghost is NOT more polite than the living.) 

Was Lizzie a cold-blooded killer, a misunderstood daughter, or just a victim of the patriarchy and poor press?

Tune in for a paranormal-packed, true crime romp through Fall River’s darkest legend.

We’re breaking down the clues, the chaos, and the legacy of a shadowy figure who disappeared without a trace. 

Expect sharp takes, twisted theories, and more than a few “what the actual feck” moments as we ask: who was Jack the Ripper, and how did he just vanish?

Blanche Taylor Moore was the Southern belle with a deadly secret - she didn’t just serve sweet tea, she served murder.

In this episode, Rachel and Cat sip their way through the twisted true story of a charming church-going woman who left a trail of poisoned lovers, husbands, and maybe even a preacher or two in her wake.

How did Blanche get away with it for so long?

What finally exposed her fatal formula?

And how many people really took their last sip at her hand? 

Join Rachel and Cat as they stir up the sinister story of a woman who turned Southern hospitality into a weapon - one cup at a time.

In this twisted tale of small-town secrets and devastating betrayal, we dive into the brutal 1982 murders of Annette Cooper and Todd Schultz in Logan, Ohio - a case that shook the community and left more questions than answers.

Convicted killers Dale Johnston and Chester McKnight each claimed their own versions of the truth - but what really happened in those cornfields? Why does this story hit so close to home for us?

Rachel shares a jaw-dropping personal connection: her own father knew Todd Schultz - and might have crossed paths with the possible killer.

Was justice ever truly served, or is the real killer still out there, hiding in plain sight? 

This one is personal, eerie, and absolutely unmissable.

Listen with Rachel, Cat, and Emilie as they untangle a web of lies, lost justice, and lingering questions in a case where the truth may still be buried.

 She was just 7 years old, riding her bike in her New Jersey neighborhood, when she had disappeared. Megan Kanka’s murder in 1994 shocked the nation - not just because of its brutality, but because her killer was a previously convicted sex offender living right across the street - and no one knew.

In this episode, Cat and Rachel dive into the heartbreaking case of Megan Kanka and how her death led to sweeping legal reform: Megan’s Law, a policy that forced states to make information about registered sex offenders publicly accessible. But has it worked? And what are the lasting impacts - both good and controversial? 

Join Cat and Rachel as they explore the tragedy, the legacy, and the laws meant to protect the next Megan from ever being forgotten.

Three young girls, three different towns in Northern California - and one monstrous thread tying their stories together: Curtis Dean Anderson.

In 1988, 7-year-old Amber vanished without a trace.

In 1999, 7-year-old Xiana disappeared on her way to school.

But in 2000, 8-year-old Midsi Sanchez was abducted - and did the unthinkable: she escaped. 

Her bravery cracked open a horrifying pattern and helped expose Anderson for what he was - a manipulative predator hiding in plain sight.

Join Cat and Rachel as they piece together the chilling timeline of a serial child abductor who thrived in the gaps of a broken system.

This episode is a tribute to the lost, the survived, and the truths that finally came to light.

The Pandemonium team is back with an all-new episode guaranteed to send chills down your spine and make you check that shadow in the corner twice. This time, Cat and Rachel are diving headfirst into all things haunted - we're talking ghosts, apparitions, unexplainable bumps in the night, and stories that’ll have you sleeping with the lights on.

From haunted houses to lingering spirits, we cover eerie encounters both famous and personal - including a bone-chilling firsthand tale from our favorite EMT-in-the-field, Cheyenne. Trust us, when a medic says a call was creepy? It was creepy.

So grab your incense, your crystals, and maybe a flashlight or two, and join us for an episode full of ghostly giggles, sinister shivers, and the kind of stories that stick with you long after the episode ends.

In this week’s deeply disturbing dive, Cat, Rachel, and Em unravel the twisted, calculated horror of Israel Keyes - a serial killer who thrived in the shadows and made a game out of murder. 

With no clear victim profile, no geographic limits, and "kill kits" buried across the country, Keyes was a predator like no other.

Join us as we trace his terrifying timeline, from bank robberies and arson to the chilling abduction of Samantha Koenig - and the shocking confession that followed.

This one is methodical, monstrous, and leaves us asking: how many more victims are still out there?

Lock your doors. Don’t trust the quiet ones. And as always… proceed with caution.

THE GANG'S ALL HERE – ON VIDEO FOR THE FIRST TIME! 

(We had to re-upload this video with LESS ECHO - because our sound boards are possessed, as we too are haunted houses!)

Cat, Rachel, Em, and Meg are traveling the U.S. once again, and where are we going on this stop? Tennessee, of course! Where the ghosts are plenty and the killers are homegrown. 

From haunted battlefields and eerie mansions to the twisted crimes of serial killers like Paul Dennis Reid and Thomas Huskey, this episode dives headfirst into the spooky and sinister heart of the Volunteer State.

Buckle up, because Tennessee isn't just known for music and mountains… it’s hiding some dark secrets in those hollers.

 In this harrowing episode, the gang dives deep into one of the most disturbing cases of maternal abuse and manipulation in American history. Teresa Knorr wasn't just a controlling mother - she was a killer, using her children as pawns in a twisted, terrifying game of paranoia, torture, and murder.

Rachel, Cat, and Em peel back the layers of a case so gruesome it sounds like fiction, yet every word is true. From shocking medical neglect to brutal acts carried out by her own hand, Teresa’s story is one of horror that spanned years before the truth finally came out.

Buckle up, this one’s not for the faint of heart.

This week, the gang unpacks the scandalous and sensational story of Winnie Ruth Judd, dubbed “The Trunk Murderess” by the press.

In 1931, two women were found dismembered and stuffed into steamer trunks, and Winnie was on the run. But was she a cold-blooded killer, or the perfect scapegoat in a case full of lies, jealousy, and possible cover-ups?

Rachel, Cat, and Em dive into the mystery, the media circus, and the mental health questions that still swirl around this case nearly a century later.

Old Hollywood vibes. True crime madness. A train ticket and a couple of trunks soaked in secrets. Let’s unfortunately dive into it.

Welcome back Party Possums!

(We had to re-upload this video with LESS ECHO - because our sound boards are possessed, as we too are haunted houses!)

In this haunted episode, Cat and Rachel are hitting the road again, this time deep into the rugged heart of South Dakota.

From haunted hotels and crumbling ghost towns to the chilling legends of the Black Hills, the gang uncovers the stories that history tried to bury.

You'll hear about the restless spirits at the Hotel Alex Johnson, a penitentiary with a murderous past, and the unsettling tales from Fort Sisseton. Plus, a look into the twisted crimes that shook this quiet state, because even the wide-open plains can’t hide everything.

Buckle up. South Dakota is way spookier than you think.

Cat and Rachel dive into one of the darkest corners of America's extremist underground - the violent, hate-fueled world of Chevie Kehoe and Daniel Lee.

Raised on white supremacist ideology and armed with a terrifying sense of purpose, their paths would lead to robbery, murder, and an alleged connection to the Oklahoma City bombing.

This episode unpacks their ties to the Aryan Nations, his twisted interpretation of polygamy and religion, and the horrific crimes committed in the name of his so-called revolution.

Strap in - this one’s a heavy descent into radicalization, family betrayal, and the monstrous power of belief gone wrong.

In this twisted episode of Pandemonium Witches, Rachel and Cat dive headfirst into the unsettling story of Dana Sue Gray - a seemingly ordinary woman with a deadly obsession. 

Behind her sun-soaked California smile hid a dark compulsion: murder fueled by greed, addiction, and the thrill of the kill. 

Join the team as they unravel how this nurse-turned-serial-killer targeted the most vulnerable, feeding her shopping addiction with stolen credit cards and leaving a trail of horror in her wake. 

Was it impulse, trauma, or pure evil? Buckle up - this one is as shocking as it is disturbing.

The Pandemonium team is back - and this time, Cat, Rachel, Meg, and Em are headed to 18th-century Russia, where the tea is hot, the winters are cold, and the noblewomen are absolutely monstrous. 

Meet Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova, better known as The Blood Duchess: a wealthy widow who spent her free time brutally unaliving her serfs and complaining to God about her love life. Was she a sadistic serial unaliver hiding behind holy icons, or just the Russian aristocracy’s answer to “bad vibes only”? 

The crew digs into the blood-soaked snow of history, decoding Darya’s divine excuses, wildly inefficient murder methods, and extremely unrelatable lifestyle. 

Come for the history, stay for the petty vengeance, and the historical hauntings.

In this episode, Cat, Rachel, and Em take a somber look at the life and crimes of John Arthur Getreu - a man who lived quietly in the shadows for decades while carrying the weight of horrific murders but not denying a single word.

From his early conviction overseas to the cold cases that haunted Stanford University for nearly half a century, we trace how advances in DNA finally brought the truth to light.

This is not a story of mystery or myth, but one of long-delayed justice for the women whose lives he stole.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat turn their attention to unravelling the nauseating case of another arsenic killer. She was known by many nicknames - the Giggling Granny, the Jolly Black Widow, and even the Lonely Hearts Killer - behind her cheerful nickname lurked one of the deadliest women in true crime history.

With arsenic as her weapon of choice, Nannie left behind a string of poisoned husbands, family members, and anyone unlucky enough to stand in her way. She was a woman who turned love, family, and even pie into murder weapons.

From her string of poisoned husbands to her shocking confessions, we explore how charm, laughter, and arsenic made her one of America’s most infamous killers - and update our ongoing “Why is it Always Arsenic?” tally, which now stands at 6.

Grab your coffee (just maybe not if she made it), and settle in for a darkly fascinating ride.

In this episode, Rachel, Cat, and Em dig into one of the most haunting cold cases in American true crime history: the Keddie murders. In April 1981, a quiet cabin in Keddie, California became the scene of unimaginable violence — a family and their friends brutally attacked, with answers still missing decades later. Despite suspects, theories, and new evidence surfacing over the years, the question remains: who was behind the massacre at Cabin 28? The Pandemonium team unpacks the horror, the heartbreak, and the enduring mystery of the Keddie murders.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat dive into the strange and scandalous case of Adelaide Bartlett - at the center of one of Victorian England’s most puzzling trials. When Adelaide’s husband was found dead in 1886 with an alarming amount of chloroform in his stomach, suspicion quickly turned toward the clever and enigmatic wife. Was she a cold-blooded poisoner, an unfairly accused woman, or simply caught in a tangle of love, betrayal, and Victorian double standards? From the courtroom drama that fascinated the public to the enduring mystery of how the chloroform got there, we explore a case that still baffles true crime historians today. Grab your coffee (but maybe skip the mystery additives), and join us as we unravel Adelaide Bartlett’s deadly puzzle.

 The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel set sail for one of the most infamous prisons in the world - Alcatraz. Known as “The Rock,” Alcatraz housed some of America’s most dangerous criminals, from mob bosses to escape artists. But beyond the bars and concrete walls lies a chilling legacy of failed escape attempts, ghostly encounters, and tales that refuse to die.

From the mystery of the Anglin brothers’ daring disappearance to the whispers of restless spirits in Cell Block D, we dive into the history, the hauntings, and the myths that make Alcatraz one of true crime and paranormal lore’s most enduring icons.

Grab your coffee and your flashlight - we’re heading inside the haunted and horrifying history of The Rock.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat turn their attention to Janine Jones - better known as the “Angel of Death.” As a pediatric nurse in Texas during the 1980s, Jones is suspected of taking the lives of as many as 60 children while working in hospitals and clinics.

Convicted of murder and injury to a child, she left behind a trail of heartbreak, unanswered questions, and outrage at the medical system that failed to stop her sooner. From her chilling methods to the lasting impact on the families of her tiny victims, we unravel the dark legacy of one of history’s most notorious medical killers.

Grab your coffee (and maybe hug your loved ones a little tighter), because this one is as haunting as it gets.

 The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat are taking a road trip to Missouri - a state with no shortage of ghosts, legends, and true crime chills.

From the famously haunted halls of the Lemp Mansion, where tragedy and suicide still echo through the walls, to eerie sightings of the Missouri Monster (Momo), the state’s paranormal history runs deep. But Missouri isn’t just haunted by spirits - it’s also home to some terrifying true crime, including serial killers who left their mark on the heartland.

With a blend of ghost stories, murder cases, and a few dark detours, we uncover the eerie side of the Show-Me State.

Grab your hydration station (and maybe keep the lights on), because Missouri has more than a few skeletons in its closet.

 The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat, Rachel, and Meg turn their focus to one of New Mexico’s darkest mysteries - the West Mesa Murders. In 2009, a woman walking her dog stumbled across human bones on Albuquerque’s West Mesa.

What followed was the shocking discovery of 11 women buried in the desert, all believed to be victims of a still-unidentified serial killer. Despite years of investigation, theories, and suspects, the case remains unsolved, leaving families without answers and a community haunted by the thought of a predator who may still be out there.

From the victims’ stories to the hunt for the so-called “West Mesa Bone Collector,” we unravel the chilling mystery that still casts a long shadow over Albuquerque.

((For this particular episode, Cat took their mugshots and created high school yearbook photos for each of the victims - as they should be remembered for who they were - not what they did for work.))

Get your hydration station ready (and maybe don’t go walking alone in the desert), as we dive into this haunting case.
