Episode 28: Escaping Death
Sometimes when you think of escaping death or near-death experiences, you think of people who have had been in terrible car crashes or they had fallen from an unimaginable height and survived. While those stories are incredible and I’ll probably talk about them in a future episode, today’s episode is about people who have escaped death by attempted murder.

Episode 27: Justice for Callie
Episode 26: Frederic Thomas Lynwood, aka The Muffin Man
“Do you know, The Muffin Man?”
“The Muffin Man?!”
“The Muffin Man.”
“ Yesss… I know the Muffin Man. Wh-who lives on Drury Lane"?”
Well, Bud… Hold on to your gumdrop buttons, because you’re in for a real… treat (hahahaha sorry, I couldn’t help myself)!!
This is the first episode in a little mini-series that I’ll be sprinkling into my regular content here and there. In this series, I’ll be discussing the twisted background stories of our beloved nursery rhymes. To soften the destruction, I’m going to put in a little YouTube clip of my favourite scene from the movie, Shrek (I mention it in this episode).
Episode 25: Creepy Stories to Tell in the Woods
It's always nice to be out in the sunshine, enjoying the peacefulness of nature. Still, it can all easily change and turn into a nightmare within seconds.
Today's episode contains stories found on Reddit of people's eerie experiences while out in the woods.

This poor girl underwent some traumatic paranormal experiences, which ended up causing her to lose her life.
Listen in to find out how Estefania's tragic story inspired a scary movie called Veronica (still on Netflix) and the freaky event while watching the movie.

Episode 23: Anneliese Michel - The Real Story That Inspired "The Exorcism of Emily Rose"
This episode does talk about some potentially triggering subjects such as depression and thoughts of suicide. In addition to that, some audio may be disturbing to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
Today I tell you the real story that inspired The Exorcism of Emily Rose and fuelled many people's nightmares worldwide, even to this day. Anneliese Michel's story is one that left me terrified and heartbroken with lots of questions. What do you think really happened?

Episode 22: BEKs - Black Eyed-Kids
The popular urban legend of BEKs or Black Eyed-Kids is one that genuinely spikes my curiosity.
The legend is the story of how strange children will knock on your door or the window of your car and ask to come in to use your phone to call their parents, to get shelter from a storm, or maybe even a ride home.
No matter what you do, NEVER let them in. Otherwise, something will bad is almost guaranteed to happen, but I won't tell you that here. You'll have to listen to find out!

Episode 20: The Chicken Coop Murders
Hey, Buds!
This is my first episode dedicated to a true crime.
Gordon Northcott was a Canadian who abducted, abused, "rented," and murdered young boys in California. His specific crimes branched out into many different stories and situations/events that resulted in some pretty significant changes at the time. While each branch of the story is interesting, I've focused on the main story that inspired it all. Perhaps in future episodes, I will feature those other stories.
I will be the first to admit that the format in this episode leaves room for improvement, but with that in mind, no one starts something as an expert. As I learn and get better, so will the content.
Make sure to check out my website (if you're reading this on Spotify) and find the post on the homepage about my nephew Matthew. Click on the "Donate" button and make a donation of any size to the Canadian Cancer Society in his memory (or in honour/memory of anyone you'd wish).

Thank you for listening to today's episode! I'll see you next week!

Episode 19 - The Story of Omm Sety (Dorothy Eady)
Hey Buds!
It feels like it’s been so long since I last posted for you!
Today’s podcast has an announcement of sorts, and a really good story about how one woman’s story changed the minds of many, even to this day.
Reincarnation is a subject of debate between believers and non-believers. Well friends, if you’re a non-believer, settle in and give this episode a listen, it get’s pretty crazy, and it will definitely give you something to think about.
I first heard of this story though MrBallen. You can find him on YouTube and TikTok, where he shares some “strange, dark and mysterious” stories. So if you like my podcast, you’ll love him! So make sure you go check him out!

Episode 18: Freaky Friday - Camping Horror Stories
You guys know I love you when I put together an episode like this together for you.
The first story is basically what everyone fears when they go camping in the wilderness, alone. This story was posted by u/outdoorsoldier to the subreddit r/BackwoodsCreepy.
The second story is so creepy that I feel the need to issue a warning to those who may be squeamish. Let this be your warning, and don't come at me if you end up regretting listening to it! Haha. It was told to us by u/writechriswrite.
For those of you brave enough to listen to the end, thank you for listening! If you couldn't listen all the way to the end, it's okay! There will be another episode next week!
Enjoy!
The audio of walking through the leaves was obtained from the YouTube channel, SoundBox.
Episode 17: Movie Monday - Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan *gasp for air* Review
Oh boy!
Borat is back to his regular antics once again. In this new film, we get a continuation of sorts from the first movie, and oh what a movie this is.
While this movie was wrong in so many ways, it had some funny parts too! Some parts had us uncontrollably laughing, and others had us feeling quite uncomfortable.
Listen in and see what we think of the movie, and make sure to tell us what you think too!
Very nice!

Episode 16: Freaky Friday - Halloween Scares
I can’t believe it’s Halloween tomorrow! Where did this month go?!
Today’s episode features three stories I found on Reddit that scared the absolute s**t out of me!
- The first story is called “Trick or Treaters” and was posted by u/SnooWalruses9935.
- The second story is called “Trick or Treating Story 2” and was posted by u/LetsRead_YouTube.
- The third and final story is called “Stalked While Trick or Treating Story (True Scary Story)” and was posted by u/JayyRixx.
I hope that you enjoy these stories as much as I did!
Happy Halloween 👻🦇🎃
Episode 15: Movie Monday - Eli Review
Eli is an 11-year-old boy with an autoimmune disease. He and his parents are desperate for a cure; and amazingly, they find a doctor that can actually cure him. Or can she?
Listen in to hear our spoiler-filled and unfiltered thoughts on the movie!

Episode 14: Freaky Friday - Berkshire UFO’s
On September 1, 1969, life forever changed for these four individuals, shaking their beliefs in what they thought was real and what wasn’t.
In this episode, I talk about the stories shared by four people about their extraterrestrial experience.
There wasn’t a lot of information I could find other than what was shared here, only because of the Netflix reboot of Unsolved Mysteries, which is where I got my information.
With 2020 being the dumpster fire that it is, it’s taught us that anything is possible. So the next time someone tells you about a paranormal/extraterrestrial experience they’ve had, be a little more open to what they are saying, because, like I said, you never know for sure what’s real, and what isn’t.
Episode 13: Movie Monday - Hubie Halloween Review
This episode is a review of the Netflix Original, Hubie Halloween.
A very special and surprise guest and I discuss the latest installment of Adam Sandler's movies.
Just in time for Halloween, we get to watch Hubie, a self-appointed "Official Volunteer Halloween Helper," keep his community safe during his favourite holiday.
Unfortunately, everyone else in the town doesn't share in the same excitement for Halloween as him, so he gets a lot of unwanted attention from his fellow Salem residents.
You never know what kind of trouble will pop up on this night, but whatever it is, Hubie is there to help.

Episode 12: Freaky Friday - Hitchhiker Short Stories
While not entirely true crime, these stories gathered from Reddit/TikTok will be able to not only send chills down your spine, but it will teach you a valuable life lesson.
The original stories can be found here:
- Never, ever, pick up a hitchhiker.
- Encounter with an infamous serial killer.
- True hitchhiking horror story.
**** In the episode, I did forget to mention that the second story is a combination of the original Reddit post and the ending from the TikTok video. I did this because the end of the original post didn't entirely make sense.
Episode 11: Movie Monday - Killer Queen Review
What happened to Cole after the traumatic events that took place that night when Bee babysat him?
Well... He's fighting for his life again. Poor kid can't catch a break.
Unfortunately, because our SD card decided to quit on us, there will be no Movie Monday video on the YouTube channel. Also, Andrew may have to leave for a work trip for about a month. Which means this may be our last Movie Monday together (or at all) for a month-ish.
So grab your Tim's, relax, and listen to our unfiltered, uncensored, and spoiler-filled review.

Today’s episode is a string of stories that when combined, tell the tale of how one tragedy led to a nightmare-ish legend that we still talk about to this day.
The sponsor for today’s episode is Hunt A Killer.
I'm happy to announce that Hunt A Killer has partnered up with Lionsgate to give us another amazing escape room experience, but this time, it's not a mystery, it's horror.
This game involves you helping a woman named Rosemary Kent, who lives on the edge of the infamous Black Hills Forest. She needs your help in finding her missing son. In order to reunite their family, you need to investigate the eerie and mysterious forest on your own. But, you need to be careful, you may come across the Blair Witch or those who help her.

Episode 09: Movie Monday - The Babysitter Review
In this episode, Andrew and I ramble the most we ever have thus far, haha.
We are talking about the Netflix original, The Babysitter.
It's about a pre-teen boy named Cole. He's the last kid in his class to have a babysitter, but his babysitter, Bee, is one of the coolest babysitters you could ask for... Or is she?
What do babysitters do once the kid goes to bed? Unfortunately for Cole, it's a little more sinister than the sitter having a party.

Episode 08: Freaky Friday - The Troll Lady
Today’s episode is short, but it’s a story that takes place during the summer of 2007, I was 17 and a friend of mine invited me over to her Mom’s house for a week.
While on the Greyhound, she began to tell me the stories of the ghosts that haunt her Mom’s house. I didn’t expect that I’d get to meet any of them… But I was wrong.
When The Troll Lady is watching, make sure you don’t look her in the eye, and do not be rude to her, or you’ll regret it…
