Elisabeth Fritzl endured an unimaginable reality for years, trapped and tormented by the very person who was supposed to protect her—her father. Waking up every day in that dark, suffocating basement, being graped time and time again, questioning whether she would ever see the light of day again or if another one of her children would die in such a place. You would lose every bit of hope, thinking theres no way out; no one even knows your down there…
The psychological weight she carried is unfathomable. Listen to this episode to hear the story.

Mark Twitchell was a film enthusiast with big ambitions, but those ambitions took a dark and disturbing turn. Beneath his passion for movies was something much more sinister, and it didn’t take long for those dark desires to surface. Wearing a hockey mask and armed with duct tape, a fake gun, and a taser baton, Mark set a trap in a garage he had rented to film a movie, prepared to look like a crime scene, complete with plastic sheeting, but it was actually a kill room.

This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics, including sexual violence, child exploitation, psychological abuse, and relatable topics. We strongly advise listeners to exercise discretion.
Victims of exploitation aren’t always bound by physical restraints—they’re trapped by psychological abuse, fear, and manipulation, as perpetrators use our systemic failures to their advantage. In this special episode, we step away from our usual content to shed light on a devistating reality: the estimated 15 million children impacted by sexual exploitation in the U.S. In this episode we will look into Jessa Dillow Crisp’s story, who is now a co-founder of Bridge Hope, and a strong advocate for survivors and the many challenges many victims face.

Kids can be cruel at a young age, and as we know even adults. It seems like over time, bullying has evolved, extending its reach beyond the schoolyard or around the local town to the world of online harassment where indivusals can hide behind their screen and really, say or do whatever, with out any real consequences. Statistics show that an estimated 160,000 children skip school every day because of fear—an alarming reminder of the emotional toll bullying takes.

As Halloween approaches and the leaves change, it's the perfect time to explore one of the most controversial and notorious haunted attractions: McKamey Manor. Known as the most extreme haunted house experience, McKamey Manor has been pushing the boundaries of fear since 2001. Originally, it started as a backyard haunt in a quiet San Diego neighborhood, with the classic jump scares and eerie sounds we all expect. But over time, McKamey Manor transformed into something much darker—a psychological endurance test designed to push people to their limits, both mentally and physically.
Reports detail participants enduring grueling challenges, often leaving with bloody faces, broken bones, and swollen lips—not to mention the lasting psychological effects. What began as a spooky attraction evolved into an intense and controversial experience, sparking debates on the limits of horror and personal endurance. This week, we're taking you inside McKamey Manor to see what lies beyond the fear.

In the quiet, rural village of Otway, Ohio, a community of just 87 people, a tragic story unfolded that would shock the nation. On January 10th, 2019, a beautiful baby boy named Dylan Groves entered the world, born one month premature. Weighing 5 pounds, 10 ounces, and measuring 19 inches long, Dylan should have been cradled with love and care, but from the moment of his birth, he was met with indifference. His mother, who was battling a crippling drug addiction, showed no interest in her newborn son, who was high on drugs and completely detached.

A brutal, deadly attack on the Smith family was discovered on July 30, 2015, in Pensacola, Florida. Three family members, Voncile, Richard, and John Smith, were found beaten and bloodied and found under piles of clothes in the home. A police press conference was held with the shocking idea that this was the work of witchcraft, and what scared the community even more was that the killer was still at large, possibly looking for the next attack. When the media got their hands on the story, they got creative with their headlines, calling it the Blue Moon Murders or the Wiccan Sacrifice.

Baumeister, was an anesthesiologist, and his mother, Elizabeth Baumeister, was a homemaker. They provided a loving home with the essentials.
