Listener discretion is strongly advised.

In 1922, a remote German farmhouse became the site of one of the most haunting unsolved massacres in history.

Six people — including a maid who’d just arrived — were murdered with a mattock and stacked like hay in the barn.

The killer didn’t flee.

They stayed.

39 people.

Matching tracksuits.

Black Nikes.

And a rented mansion in California waiting for a spaceship in the tail of a comet.

This is the story of Heaven’s Gate — one of the most infamous cults in American history. But it’s not just about aliens. It’s about control, grief hijacked as belief, and what happens when a charismatic leader convinces you that death… is a promotion.

And yes… I say barricades instead of barracks at one point.

Blame the sleepover chaos and the poltergeist my kids swore was in the house.

A boiling pot.

A fork.

A young woman’s ear.

In one of the most disturbing cases ever haunt East, Texas, 21-year-old Jana Shearer walked out of her home barefoot… and never came back.

What followed was a night of unthinkable violence, sadistic display, and a 911 call so chilling it was never released to the public.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains themes of demonic possession, child endangerment, and real-time trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

A family of five.

An ordinary Indiana rental.

And a case so terrifying… it sent seasoned officers running, shook hospital staff, and forced the Catholic Church to act.

This is the chilling true story of the Ammons haunting — a documented case of alleged demonic possession that began with flies, shadow figures, and mysterious footprints… and escalated into levitation, exorcisms, and full-on fear.

A girl goes missing. A dog comes home with a human arm. And a jagged cliffside called “The Devil’s Teeth” becomes the epicenter of one of New Jersey’s most unsettling mysteries.

In the summer of 1972, 16-year-old Jeanette DePalma vanished on her way to a friend’s house. Six weeks later, her decomposed body was discovered atop a jagged bluff — surrounded by rumors, strange symbols, and a town quick to blame the victim.

With no clear cause of death, the autopsy raised more questions than answers. The media chased a Satanic narrative. And Jeanette? She was buried beneath a story that never truly honored who she was.
