Shelter & Warning

Welcome to the first episode of our new miniseries! The show is told through a series of recordings made by our main character when they receive an odd request in the will of their estranged aunt. Each episode will dive into a room of their aunt’s eccentric San Francisco row house and the stories it can tell, and this episode starts the series off while also being set in the in the dining room. 

Today, we discuss the Glamour Girl Slayer. Who was this killer? Who were his victims? And why has he been largely forgotten about in the true crime sphere of today?

Today we delve into the myth of the werewolf. What exactly caused this story? Why does every culture have their own version? And what could the werewolf represent?

Today we delve into the murder of JonBenét Ramsey. What exactly happened the night she was killed? Why has it been so difficult to find any evidence at all? And why has this case, along with others like it, captured the nation so strongly, even twenty five years later?
