13: The Murder of Shafilea Ahmed & The Pocong

It’s episode 13! And we all know that 13 isn’t the most… lucky number out there. We talk about skincare woes (and how the 10-step skincare trend could have been a capitalistic ploy all along) as well as social media fatigue. Anyone else feel like they want to tune social media out entirely? Us too. This week Chris covers the horrific and heartbreaking honour killing of Shafilea Ahmed from Warrington, United Kingdom. There are over 5000 honour killings a year. Honda then goes on to scare us with ...

12: Ed Kemper & Seventh Month Stories

It’s Seventh Month guys… be careful where you’re stepping! Don’t worry though, because Shann gives us some insight about what this month-long Chinese festival is all about! We also discuss some information that sheds light on why you’ll see your Chinese neighbours burning offerings outside their houses. Honda then goes on to tell us about Ed Kemper (Mindhunter fans, you out there?) aka the co-ed killer… who isn’t only massive in size but also has a big brain and a large murder count. And then Sh...

11: Chris Watts Murders & The Possession of George Lukins

HELLO EVERYONE! It’s episode eleven! (Just a notice that we’re re-titling our episodes so you can search for specific stories if you’d like!) This week Chris gives her rating (and rants) about National Day concerts. This year was pretty cool—did you catch the fireworks from your homes? Shann shares the heartbreaking familicide of the Chris Watts murder, who unlike this name, wasn’t very bright. It’s an intense one folks, so be prepared. Chris then shares about the interesting possession of Georg...

10: National Day Special (Toa Payoh Ritual Murders & NS Ghost Stories)

Happy 55th birthday Singapore! 🇸🇬 This year we’re all at home watching the parade, so why not give this special episode a listen too? We’re featuring stories entirely from Singapore! Shann explains to us what kombucha tastes like and we’re still not sure about it. What even does bubbly vinegar truly taste like? Do we really want to know? This week Chris brings you the famous Toa Payoh Ritual murders, where far too many twists and turns happen you’d think it’s a Stephen King novel. Honda then s...

9: The Sagamihara Stabbings & An Umbrella Ghost

Oh wow it’s episode 9! This week we share our thoughts and feelings on the recent City Revival video that’s been circulating on social media. Spoiler: we’re not fans of it. Honda tells us the infuriating story of the Sagamihara stabbings in Japan by Uematsu Satoshi—who believed that disabled people would be the cause of… World War III? We also delve into the larger social issues exposed because of this crime. As for the paranormal, Shann tells us about the local superstition of opening umbrellas...

8: Ahmad Suradji & The Watseka Wonder

GUESS WHO’S BACK, BACK AGAIN! We’ve missed you guys (although it’s only been a week). This week we discuss the telegram group SG GIRLS and how women can’t even take photos for their social media without someone taking it and spreading it to thousands of people unsolicited. We strongly urge everyone to report the group on telegram! Shann also tells us the story of Indonesia’s most prolific serial killer, Ahmad Suradji who… needed the saliva of 42 women in order to become a stronger shaman. Chris ...

7: Elizabeth Wettlaufer & Skinwalkers

We’re VERY CERTAIN that this episode is cursed because this is our billionth attempt at recording it. Chris tells the story of Elizabeth Wettlaufer from Ontario, Canada (woo Canada!) an Angel of Death serial killer who took the lives of eight elderly and got away with it for years. Honda then freaks everyone out with the legend of the Skinwalker from the Indigenous Navajo nation, and shares two stories about encounters with this cryptid. If you have pets—you might want to double check if they’re...

6: The Golden State Killer & Black Magic

This episode is a rollercoaster ride, trust us. Chris introduces the newest addition to her family, which may or may not be exhausting her right to the bone. Honda then proceeds to share the story of the Golden State Killer aka the East Area Rapist aka the Original Night Stalker, Joseph DeAngelo. His monicker may or may not remind us of a certain philanthropist… Shann then goes on to scare us (and herself) with a local intriguing tale of a girl’s encounter with her helper who dabbled in black ma...

5: Mary Bell & The Black-Eyed Kids

You won’t believe us, but somehow Shann and Chris ended up picking stories on… children! It must be that strong Taurus-Cancer compatibility, though mercury IS in retrograde right now. Chris also laments that she feels like the universe is trying to tell her something about motherhood, so it’s all coincidentally thematic. Shann tells us the story of Mary Bell (and her friend, Normal Bell) who decided that being a child murderer was the way to celebrate adolescence. Chris, on the other hand, bring...

4: The Hello Kitty Murder & Taira no Masakado

Hoho! It’s episode four! This week’s a fun one y’all! We’ve condensed our rambling so you can enjoy more of our stories—and trust us, this week’s ones are really interesting. Chris shares the unfortunate and gruesome story of the Hello Kitty Murder in Hong Kong. If you love this Sanrio character, we’re sorry to ruin it for you. Honda then shares the (unexpectedly funny) tale of Taira no Masakado, a heroic Japanese samurai turned bodyless ghost who has a short temper and will haunt you if you do ...

3: Tokyo Sarin-Gas Attacks & Kuman Thongs

Happy Sunday everyone! Or if you’re Shann, happy Saturday because she’s stuck in the past, apparently. If you’re not good at math, don’t worry because neither are we! But during this episode we do go off on several… tangents. (Badum tss) We promise they’re interesting ones, though. Honda tells us the story of the 1995 sarin-gas attacks in Tokyo, Japan (while Chris keeps forgetting that trains in Japan are packed during rush-hour) and Shann brings us a local spooky tale of a Kuman Thong in Singap...

[#BLACKLIVESMATTER ✊🏽 ✊🏾 ✊🏿 In solidarity, we are including resources in which you can help out the Black Lives Matter movement: blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ You can also watch this video without adblock to donate to the cause: https://bit.ly/BLMYTVID] HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE! 🏳️‍🌈 This episode we continue to facepalm at Chris' animal crossing obsession (in which she provides a tutorial on how to re-arrange rocks and marry your favourite villager). We also delve into the hair-raising crim...

1: The Raincoat Killer & A Street View Ghost

It's episode one and we're nervously excited! Chris tells Shann and Honda the crazy wild story of South Korea's Raincoat Killer, Yoo Young Chul, and apologises to Paddington Bear for getting the colour of his coat wrong, yikes! Then Honda shares the chill-inducing story of a man encountering something not-so-human on Street View (just a reminder to lock your doors folks!) Bonus: Shann tells us about her mother's third eye and we discuss if we should buy the first row seats at a movie theatre. Oh...
