    Episode 37: The Haunting of Elke Sommer
    Dec 31 2025

    Beverly Hills isn’t exactly known for hauntings...but maybe it should be. In the 1960s, actress Elke Sommer and her husband Joe Hyams experienced years of escalating paranormal activity in their secluded canyon home: ghostly apparitions, moving furniture, independent witnesses, formal investigations, and an eerily accurate psychic warning that came true in the most terrifying way possible. This is one of Hollywood’s most overlooked (and unsettling) haunting cases.

  • Episode 35: The Hexham Heads: Unearthing Ancient Curses

    Episode 35: The Hexham Heads: Unearthing Ancient Curses
    Dec 17 2025
    In 1971, two young boys digging in a garden in Hexham, England uncovered two small carved stone heads...and what followed became one of Britain’s strangest paranormal cases. Soon after the discovery, unexplained disturbances began inside the home and spread next door, culminating in terrifying encounters with a dark, animal-like figure. When the heads were removed for study, the activity didn’t stop—it followed, appearing hundreds of miles away and repeating the same disturbing patterns. With multiple witnesses, identical descriptions, and no clear explanation, the Hexham Heads case blurs the line between folklore, poltergeist activity, and something far more unsettling. Grab your favorite drink or tackle that laundry as we dive into one of the most bizarre stories we’ve covered.Got a story to tell?

    This week, we dive into the twisted life of Graham Young, the notorious “Teacup Poisoner,” whose obsession with toxicology began in childhood and ended in a national scandal. From his early experiments on family members, to his years inside Broadmoor Hospital, to the shocking poisonings at a Hertfordshire factory, this is a case full of red flags, arrogance, audacity, and unbelievable oversight.
