Easy Bake Coven
We’re on the hunt for all things spooky! A bloody good podcast about the dark side of life served up with a side of sweet treats. Hosted by Elise Giordano + Halee Rae.

In the summer of 1969, strange things started happening on Lake Worth, outside of Forth Worth, Texas. There were whispers of an odd creature- described as part man, part fish, and part goat- being spotted in a local nature preserve. What started out as an outlandish rumor became front-page news on July 10, 1969, when the creature jumped on the hood of a car and disappeared into the forest, but not before leaving an 18...
There’s an abundance of weird in the news this week, Coven! From Bigfoot sightings in Colorado to missing men in Alaska, this week’s tea is Piping Hot! There’s new evidence in the disappearance of Maura Murray, a missing person’s body is found in a treehouse, and a husband tried to push his wife off a cliff but ghosts maybe saved her? TBD. Of course we’ll talk about the reincarnated dire wolf pups and reminisce about ...
Last week, we toured the haunted streets of London's Whitechapel district and explored the hunting grounds of the world's most mysterious serial killer - Jack the Ripper. Since 1888, his identity has remained a mystery, with authors and self-proclaimed "Ripperologists" claiming they have all the answers. This week, we'll dig in to theories old and new and highlight the most compelling and the ...
In the summer of 1888, the streets of London were a bleak affair. The working class were desperate, thunderstorms ravaged the streets and in the early morning hours, a devil was terrorizing the sex workers of Whitechapel. Arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time, Jack the Ripper would claim the lives of five women, mangling their bodies in the streets and then seemingly disappearing into the night. In part...
Coven, there has been so much happening in the news, and we have been waiting patiently to cover it! The recurring theme this week seems to be 'things we'd love to watch a TV show about' - from a meltdown happening at an Antarctic research base, to an exorcism at 30,000 feet, there's plenty to discuss. We'll talk about the mysterious circumstances around Gene Hackman's death, and learn ab...
Last week, we joined the Donner Party on the first half of their journey from Missouri to California. When we last left them, they were camped out by Truckee Lake in the Sierra Nevadas, and snow began falling on their camp. The group could not know then what that snowfall meant, and the sad fate that would await them in the coming months. In the final installment of our Donner Party series, we will learn about the bru...
In the spring of 1846, over 500 covered wagons set off from Independence, Missouri, headed West towards a new life. They could not fathom the difficulties and harsh conditions they would encounter along their journey, and this was especially true for one group of pioneers, now infamously known as the Donner Party. Most have heard salacious headlines outlining the gruesome atrocities committed by the group, but not man...
It's Valentine's Day, coven! And nothing says true love like a woman saving herself from her abuser. The story of Lorena Bobbitt is a muddled one, evoking images of an angry, jealous woman who exacted her revenge by cutting off her husband's penis. The true story, however, is much more sinister. John Wayne Bobbitt, while quite simple-minded, was anything but innocent. In the words of Cell Block Tango, &...
What a week it's been, y'all. Tonight's episode focuses on mental respite in the form of laughter, and we invite you to escape from the real world for just a moment and join us for silliness... and maybe too much wine. This week we cover all manner of ridiculous news, from sasquatch hunts tearing apart marriages (surprisingly neither of ours), to finding out just what happens when you consume too much c...
Coven, you've heard us share our constant worry that we're both dangerously susceptible to joining a cult. This week, we're really putting our strong will to the test as we cover arguably the coolest cult we've ever heard of. It's got the first female truck driver in Brazilian history, it's got aliens, it's got astral projection, it's got super rad outfits, and it has friendly J...
There’s no shortage of disappointments this week, but perhaps none so great as the realization that one woman was not, in fact, dating Brad Pitt. An $855k disappointment to be exact. And then there’s the gal who was reported dead while she was still very much alive, a man whose face was set ablaze during surgery and a train full of anti-tank missiles delivered to our favorite Swedish furniture store. You just can’t ma...
In July 1969, the United States beat the Soviet Union in the decades long Space Race, taking one giant leap onto the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong’s steps would go down in history as one of mankind’s greatest achievements. But there are those who question whether it happened at all. Was our technology really up to the task? Or were we fighting a losing battle against the Soviets, desperate to hold on to our repu...
Folks, it's been a minute since we've had a news update, and the weird and wonderful stories have been piling up! This week we'll talk about the search for Sasquatch ending in tragedy in the PNW and success in the midwest. We'll briefly become a film podcast, and give you our hottest takes on new releases. We'll update you on the Asparamancer's 2025 predictions. We'll even talk abo...
Happy New Year, coven! We're starting 2025 off with a bang (Lisey wishes) as we continue our ongoing cryptid series and cover Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp Monster. This one is a real treat, as we dig up firsthand accounts of sightings of this elusive creature. First spotted in the 50s and 60s, he rose to local fame in the early 70s. But has he really been seen for centuries, just called by many different n...
Another year comes to a close, and we're so grateful for you all coming along for the ride with us. This week, we take a look back at some of the highs and lows of 2024. From jellyfish UFO and very compelling sasquatch sightings, to murder-inspired dance routines and vegetable-based psychics, there's a lot to cover. Tune in as we recount some of our favorite headlines, and reflect on the best parts of 2024! ...
In 2012, FBI agents arrested a man for the murder of Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, Alaska. What they didn’t realize was that they’d apprehended one of America’s most prolific serial killers: Israel Keyes. Citing a split personality, Keyes went on a crime spree across the country for fourteen years, robbing banks, burning down houses and taking lives. He buried kill kits across the country so he’d never miss an opportu...
On February 1, 2012, Samantha Koenig was taken from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Her disappearance made no sense to investigators. There weren't signs of a struggle, she'd sent an angry text to her boyfriend, and security footage showed two people walking through a parking lot arm in arm. But when a ransom note appeared weeks after her capture, accompanied by a disturbing photo of Samantha, investiga...
Throughout the entirety of this podcast, we've heard this question over and over: "If UFOs are real, why haven't more people seen them?" It's a valid question, and yet the more we learn about extraterrestrial activity, the more we realize that people have been seeing them! And sometimes even on a massive scale. This week we'll learn about two such examples, where dozens and even hundreds ...
Happy Thanksgiving, Coven! After a day full of eating and awkward family moments, what better way to unwind than with your favorite podcast?!

Junko Furuta was a 17-year-old high school student with a bright future ahead of her. She was excelling in her senior year, had promising job opportunities and was excited to join her classmates on a trip after graduation. But on November 25, 1988, all that was ripped away when she was kidnapped and imprisoned for the next 44 days. Junko was tortured in unimaginable ways. Believing her captors were part of the Yakuza,...
