Welcome to the very first episode of Haunt and Hallows: Headlines!

Each week, we’ll bring you the most chilling true crime and paranormal stories making news right now — all in one place.

In this premiere episode, we’re diving into four headlines that are as unsettling as they are unforgettable:

🕯 Tamika Chesser Case — Australia A former reality TV star charged with murder and dismemberment… and a grim discovery made by a dog walker that could finally bring closure to the victim’s family.

🏞 Devil’s Den State Park Double Murder — Arkansas A beloved couple brutally attacked while camping. The suspect — a former teacher — is behind bars after a dramatic arrest in a local salon.

🚨 Alabama Bunker Case (Graphic Content Warning) Seven suspects charged in a horrific child exploitation ring operating out of a concrete bunker. The disturbing details have drawn national attention — and Homeland Security is now involved.

👻 Annabelle Gets a New Guardian Comedian Matt Rife now holds the keys to the Warren Occult Museum — and the infamous Annabelle doll. Starting October 2025, you could rent the house for your own paranormal investigation.

From cold‑blooded crimes to haunted artifacts with a deadly reputation, these are the stories you’ll be talking about long after the episode ends.

Annabelle is on tour… and disaster is following her. From a massive fire in New Orleans to the recent unexplained death of her handler in Gettysburg, the infamous haunted doll seems to be causing mayhem wherever she’s taken. But should she have ever left her glass case in the first place? In this bonus episode of Haunt and Hallows, we explore the history of Annabelle, the theory of containment, and why moving cursed objects might be more dangerous than people realize. We’ll also look at Robert the Doll—Florida’s most cursed resident—and explain why he stays locked safely in Key West while still managing to terrify visitors. Is it all just superstition? Or are we ignoring the warnings we should be taking seriously?

88 children were recently removed from a secluded summer camp in Columbus Junction, Iowa. The organization behind it claims to be a ministry focused on faith and rehabilitation. But disturbing questions are surfacing—about who ran it, who funded it, and how children from out of state ended up there. In this brief developing story, we break down what we know so far… and what still doesn’t add up.
