This week, Sparkie steals Thomas’ week to finally cover their current location: Idaho! With the help of some friends, she compiled a list of spooky stories from multiple areas around (mostly southern) Idaho, including historic details and personal accounts. Thomas throws in a bonus story of his own as well! Because of the length, this episode will be split into two parts but we won’t make you wait an extra week to hear the other half. Check back tomorrow for part two and stay creepy! Keywords: University of Idaho, Pocatello High School, Minidoka Hospital, Howell Opera House, Ground Control, Shoshone Ice Caves, and Stricker Ranch.

New favorite episode alert! This week, Sparkie talks about the crimes and trials that inspired the hit musical Chicago. Thomas brings his insider knowledge of the show from that one time he was a murder victim. Tune in for lots of injustice, old-timey language, and Thomas playing some “jazz” for you to cry to.

This week's episode is short and secret. Thomas describes Yale's secret society, Skull and Bones. Multiple presidents and other leaders have been members. Do they control every major event that happens in the world?

This episode also shows a lot of weird insight into the hosts' brains, kitty input, and bad jokes (as usual).

Need some more anxiety about flying? Have we got the episode for you! This week, Sparkie tackles the hijacking of EgyptAir flight 648. This episode features terrorists with aim like Stormtroopers, a quick-thinking pilot, multiple miraculous survivor stories, copious amounts of GTA references, and a really sweaty guy that Thomas is really concerned about apparently.

This week, Sparkie and Thomas head to Arlington, Texas to discuss the urban legends of the River Legacy Park area. This place has mega bad vibes. Thomas does a bad/great Zak Bagans impersonation and Sparkie laughs awkwardly at weird times. Yay!

PS. We forgot to mention it in the episode, but Sparkie did double-check the word "hobo." As far as we can tell, it's not derogatory in this context, but please know regardless we have no ill will towards the homeless. ❤

THIS EPISODE IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. Or anyone if you ask Thomas. TW for lots of suicide, abortion, cannibalism, and general awfulness. The views of this cult are not our views.

Today we cover our first cult! The Church of Euthanasia lead by Chris Korda is cringy at best. Their idea was to be as disgusting as possible to get media attention. Thomas says their motto should have been, "peace, love, and blow your brains out." And yet somehow the leader is still alive to this day? Seems hypocritical. Listen at your own risk. Seriously. It's bad. (Like the episode quality is fine but the content? Yikes.)

Did you know that there was a cannibal outlaw/cowboy? Neither did Sparkie! Turns out, he’s pretty awful, as you might have guessed. Today, Thomas tells about Levi Boone Helm, the Kentucky Cannibal. Sparkie makes a lot of bad jokes (we know you’re surprised) and pretends she knows things about psychology. Enjoy!

Today’s episode is a big one. Sparkie shares her take on the Hinterkaifeck farm murders (in old, I'm talkin' old Bavaria). Thomas has too much fun with his German accent. There is much talk of the Producers, weird relationships, lizard people, and evil twins. Check it out!

This week is the week of short attention spans. Thomas tells Sparkie about the Church Hill Tunnel, its collapse, and the creature that emerges from the wreckage. The episode includes bad jokes (as usual), some reminders, and Sparkie's good news.

We've all made poor decisions; told a lie that got us in trouble, snuck out of the house, or wished harm on someone who didn't deserve it. Today's case is a good example of how not to be. Sparkie tells Thomas the tragic life story of the Pan family and both give unsolicited opinions about a lot of things. Enjoy!

This episode contains very brief mentions of self-harm, suicide, and assault.

Sources:

This is a weird one! Thomas shares the tale of the Jersey Devil, which is the strangest combination of animal parts imaginable. Sparkie is feeling VERY punny and silly in this episode so prepare for lots of laughs and confusion. 

(We also had some issues with recording for the first part, so the levels are just a little wonky. Sorry. Please listen anyway!)

Boooooo! Happy Halloween! Thomas and Sparkie both cover the origins of the holiday and traditions of the peak of Spooky Season. Grab your mashed potatoes and apple peels, and get ready to do some learnin'.

"We're not going to hurt you. If we wanted to do that, we would have just broken in."

In honor of spooky season, Sparkie goes a bit more mainstream (and jumps to the paranormal side of the podcast) to cover her favorite nightmare fuel: black-eyed kids. Thomas surprises and horrifies Sparkie with his personal encounter with what may have been a BEK. Join us for goosebumps, Sparkie's weird sounds that she makes when she's scared, and strange requests for ketchup. ...and stay creepy.

Fact or fiction? Today Thomas tells Sparkie the tale behind the supposed abduction of Travis Walton. Neither are super convinced it actually happened, but there are cadaver-sniffing horses and bell-bottoms so we hope you’ll enjoy it anyway, even if Travis wasn’t great at convincing people he was on a UFO.

PS. Since Thomas forgot to tell you, APRO is the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. Also someday Sparkie will figure out how to not sleep all day on Sundays and not make editing something that makes her stay up past her bedtime every week. Oops.

Thomas just didn’t get enough clowns last week, so he’s back to talk about their creepy origins and modern evolutions. Sparkie is feeling giggly. Listen for fights with folded boxes, nine-toed wish granters, and the 400 lb vampire John Wayne Gacy.

You know what's awful? Being one of maybe five people on the planet who genuinely likes clowns and who would be excited to have one show up on your doorstep, only to be shot by them. Today Sparkie covers the murder of Marlene Warren, the true tale of a killer clown. Thomas has very insightful comments about guns, cars, and horses (not really). You’ll also be “blessed” with their voice-acting abilities in this one. Lucky you!

Do you ever think that it's fun to be in heavily wooded areas? Think again! If you're in Canada, that is. In this episode, Thomas talks about the legendary Wendigo and you get to learn how supremely paranoid Sparkie is. As usual, video game references are in abundance.

Sources:

This extra episode is marked "explicit" for adult content. 

Thomas tells Sparkie of the very concerning tale of Antonio Villas Boas, one of the first widely reported alien abduction cases. Protect your tractors and chin blood, the humanoids with platinum blonde hair and red armpit hair are coming!

Sources:

In our favorite episode to date, Sparkie tells Thomas the (apparently much worse than Sparkie thought) tale of Tyler Hadley. This episode features running away with mailboxes, intentional bedwetting, poor decision making, and a lot of wheezy laughter.

This is probably our least innocent-ears friendly episode, so listen with caution.

Big oof. This episode, Thomas covers the well-known mystery of the Black Dahlia murder. Sparkie is easily distracted by the weird names involved. 

Sources:

Sparkie tells Thomas the tale of the murder of Katarzyna Zowada. This is another episode to avoid while eating. There's also a lot of talk of zombies, horror movies, and The Legend of Zelda because it was really hard for these two to stay on topic this week, probably because they were going to have some serious nightmares if they focused too hard.

Sources:

It's Sparkie's birthday! For her covid-safe celebration, she decided to release an extra creepy with the topic of a criminal with the best moniker: the St. Paul Slapper. Thomas plans to steal that name for his up-and-coming rockabilly band. There's also more than necessary talk about GTA but does anyone really not expect that at this point? Enjoy!

Sources:

Look out below! In today’s episode, Thomas and Sparkie discuss the mysterious case of DB Cooper, including the extensive suspect list and different theories. Also, Sparkie laughs at a lot of things that aren’t funny and Thomas pretends to know things about airplanes. If you’re listening to this on a hike, watch out for falling 200-lb sleds. You never know when or where they might drop.

Sources:

Grab an old shoe and head outside! Today Sparkie covers the unusual case of meat raining from the sky in Kentucky. Thomas does some weird impressions and they both have some out-there conspiracy theories. 

Sources:

Jocularity, jocularity! In this light-hearted episode, Thomas teaches Sparkie about giants (historical, mythical, and modern), clearing up some misconceptions. Sparkie has a lot of input, very little of it helpful, but she does make a lot of jokes, to Thomas's dismay.

Sources:

In this week's episode, Thomas gets to nerd-out about two of his favorite things: comic books and movies. Sparkie tries to keep up and goes on tangents about her favorite celebrity crush. Also, we got to 500 listens! YAY! Thank you for your support! 

Welcome to the first Extra Creepy "bonus" episode. Since Thomas had a conflict this week, Sparkie describes the eerie haunted painting, the Anguished Man. 

Sources:

This time, Sparkie and Thomas discuss the very upsetting tale of John Jones in the Nutty Putty Cave. Liberal use of the word "spelunking," lots  of "nope"s, and Sparkie reaches her emotional limit. Not for the faint of heart. Wasn't this supposed to be a comedy podcast? Oops.

Sources:

Thomas tells the story of the hybrid Joker/Jeff the Killer cryptid and nightmare fuel Indrid Cold. Sparkie does not like it. Maybe don't listen to this one alone at night.

Sources:

In this heartbreaking episode, Sparkie discusses with Thomas the untimely death of teacher Christy Mirack and the not-at-all-nice person called Raymond Rowe AKA DJ Freez. 

Sources:

In the second cryptid-themed episode, Thomas talks about the Enfield horror. Is it a bear with mange? Sasquatch? Demon? Kangaroo? Listen and maybe you'll find out! But probably not. Also some technical issues, but we think you'll enjoy it anyway.

Sources:

Sparkie tells the (never before covered on a podcast?) spooky tale of a haunted penthouse in NY. Thomas disagrees with everything. There may be monkeys throwing poop and lots of bad choices made. (There definitely is.)

Featuring: Edna Crawford, Albert Champion, Charles Brazelle, Carlton Alsop.
