Welcome to the West Wing inside Dark Academy, where tonight’s exploration takes us into the drawers of the Inanimate Souls Surveillance Initiative. Within these files, we study the Co-Ed Killer, Edmund Kemper, a man towering in stature and in horror. Was he a brilliant but broken mind seeking redemption, or simply a vessel for something darker that moved him to violence? The ISSI sought answers but found only shadows. Now it is our turn to open the file and see what looks back.

Not all invitations arrive by mail. Some find you in the margins of a forgotten book, tucked inside an antique store and mysteries in whispered folklore.

In this special lore episode, I finally share how I found the Dark Academy, or how it found me? From the haunted legend of a local witch in Northeast Florida to the discovery of a mysterious note leading to a location no map dare mark.

Join me as I follow the trail that led through the portal and into the mountains surrounding the Academy’s long-abandoned halls. This is the beginning, not of its story, but of ours. I wasn’t just invited. I was summoned. WE were summoned.

Welcome to the Chapel of Shadows at Dark Academy. Tonight, we gather beneath the shadowed arches to honor my dear friend and former podcast cohost, Rebecca, on the eve of her wedding. But before she may pledge her vows to the world, the Academy demands a secret ceremony to avoid a fate darker than death itself.

Join me as we unearth chilling wedding lore — from jilted brides seeking revenge, to haunted bridal chambers, to corpse brides doomed to walk eternity alone. True crime tales of love turned lethal will serve as grim reminders of what happens when warnings go unheeded. And at the heart of it all, a spectral bride lingers... whispering to any Inductee brave enough to say "I do" without the Academy’s blessing.

Time is running out. Choose wisely... or be bound forever.
