Tonight, we discuss the bizarre cases of Anatoly Moskvin, AKA the "Russian Doll Man", and Carl Tanzler, two people who loved the dead a bit *too* much. Moskvin kept a collection of children's corpses that he turned into dolls he believed were inhabited by the spirits of children that could be brought back to life one day. Tanzler was a medical professional that developed an obsession with a patient that went beyond the boundaries of life and death. “I am Death, and when I love you it’s forever.”...

In March 1997, an anonymous 911 call directed authorities to a mansion in California, where they would find 39 bodies, neatly placed in their beds, all wearing identical black shirts, black pants, and black Nike shoes, faces covered with purple cloths. It was soon discovered the scene was a mass suicide by members of a cult known as Heaven's Gate- and the ritualistic suicides were performed because the group believed doing so would allow them to exit their earthly bodies and be transported to a ...

However, to spice things up (quite literally), we decide to attempt to get through some of North Carolina's hottest hot sauces while we dig into this mystery, with the finale being a sauce made from the dreaded "Carolina Reaper" pepper.

These events apparently capture the voices of the dead that we cannot hear until played back through an audio device, and there is an outright staggering amount of evidence. But is it real? Or is it just instances for auditory pareidolia ? Sit with us as we explore a bit into EVP, and play some of our favorite recordings plucked from the internet....

There is a stretch of road right outside of Chicago that you should never travel down. If you do, be sure to never pick up any hitchhikers, or else you'll meet "Mary". Stay away from the woods alongside the road lest you meet a crazed monk or run across a satanic ritual. Don't grab a drink at Al Capone's old speakeasy, and avoid the cemetery right across the street. And whatever you do, if you see an old 1965 Ford Fairlane parked by itself at the old abandoned drive-in theater... Keep. On. Drivi...
