This week, we’re discussing David Parker Ray, known as the “Toy Box Killer.”

In 1999, a woman escaped from Ray’s property and led investigators to a hidden trailer containing disturbing evidence that would expose a much larger investigation.

Ray was eventually sentenced to more than 223 years in prison, but many questions remained unanswered. He claimed there were approximately 40 victims, yet investigators were never able to confirm that number.

Even years after his death, authorities continued searching for possible victims and clues.

How many people were actually victimized? What happened to those who were never identified? And how much of the truth died with Ray?

Listen to the latest episode of The Nite Krew as we take a closer look at the evidence, the investigation, the survivors, and the mysteries that remain.

WHAT IF A BOX COULD CARRY SOMETHING WITH IT?

This week on The Nite Krew, we’re opening the story of one of the most infamous objects in paranormal history: The Dybbuk Box.

A cabinet. A terrifying legend. And a long list of people who claimed that after it entered their lives, things started going VERY wrong.

Nightmares. Strange smells. Unexplained illnesses. Shadowy figures. Scratches and welts. Objects moving. And experiences that some owners say they simply couldn’t explain.

But here’s where the story gets even darker…The legend says the box was connected to a dybbuk — a spirit from Jewish folklore believed to attach itself to a living person.

And then there are the older stories…Long before the infamous box ever appeared on eBay, there were historical accounts of people who claimed to have witnessed dybbuk possessions and exorcisms firsthand.

So what’s actually true?

Was the Dybbuk Box really haunted? Where did the belief in dybbuks come from? What did witnesses claim they actually saw and heard? And how much of the modern Dybbuk Box story was fact… and how much was fiction?

Turn the lights down and join The Nite Krew…Because tonight, we’re talking about a box that was never supposed to be opened.

Would YOU keep it if someone gave it to you?

In 1976, 23-year-old Anneliese Michel died after undergoing dozens of Catholic exorcism sessions. Her family and the priests involved believed she was possessed.

Doctors believed she was suffering from serious medical and psychological conditions.

After her death, her parents and two priests were put on trial and convicted of negligent h*micide.

But nearly 50 years later, one question still surrounds this disturbing case…What really happened to Anneliese Michel?

Was she battling demons…Or was she a seriously ill young woman whose suffering was interpreted as possession?

A quiet graduate student. A trusted classmate. A crime that shocked the world.

In June 1981, Issei Sagawa invited fellow student Renée Hartevelt to his apartment in Paris under the guise of reading German poetry together. She trusted him. She never made it home.

Sagawa confessed to the m**der almost immediately. The evidence was overwhelming, and there was little doubt about what had happened. But instead of standing trial, he was declared legally insane by a French court. Years later, he was transferred back to Japan, where he was eventually released—never having been convicted in a criminal court.

How does someone admit to one of the most infamous m**ders in modern history and still walk free?

In this episode, we’ll uncover the timeline of the crime, the investigation that followed, the psychological evaluations, and the international legal decisions that continue to spark debate more than four decades later. Most importantly, we’ll remember the life of Renée Hartevelt, the young woman whose story deserves to be told with dignity and respect.

Deep in the mountains of Tennessee sits Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary—a former maximum-security prison with a history built on coal mines, isolation, and some of the most dangerous inmates in the state.

In this episode, we break down how Brushy Mountain began as part of Tennessee’s prison labor system, the violent history behind its walls, and the infamous prisoners who once called it home. From escape attempts to brutal conditions and decades of incarceration, the prison earned a reputation as one of the toughest in America.

We also explore the darker side of Brushy Mountain’s legacy—solitary confinement, known as “the hole,” inmate deaths, and the stories that have led many to believe the prison is still active in ways that can’t be easily explained.

History, true crime, and the paranormal all collide in one of Tennessee’s most talked-about abandoned prisons. You can listen on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, & iHeartRadio. Make sure to follow us on Facebook, TikTok, & Instagram at thenitekrew!

Cleveland, 1930s. A city drowning in poverty, hidden beneath the weight of the Great Depression… until something far worse begins to surface.

Severed bodies start appearing across Kingsbury Run and the Cuyahoga River—victims left headless, unidentifiable, and scattered across the city’s forgotten edges. No clear motive. No pattern the police can fully explain. And no k*ller ever caught.

As fear spreads, one name rises to the center of the investigation: Eliot Ness. But even one of America’s most famous lawmen couldn’t stop what was happening.

The press calls him The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run. Nearly a century later, the identity of the k*ller remains unknown. This is one of America’s most disturbing unsolved serial m**der cases.
