Suspects & Spirits

Happy one year anniversary Ghouligans!🎉🥂 👻

Today, we celebrate the birth of our coven by covering a long-time favorite: The Bell Witch.

In the 1800s, the Bell family moved to a quiet farm in Tennessee… but by 1817, this farm was anything but quiet. What started as strange animal sightings quickly escalated into violent attacks, disembodied voices, and a presence that seemed to know eve...

In 1992, along a quiet bike path in Phoenix, Arizona, 21 year old Angela Brosso set out for an evening ride and never came home. Ten months later, another young woman vanished along that same route. What followed became one of Arizona’s most disturbing unsolved cases, marked by brutal violence and a killer who seemed to disappear without a trace. For more than two decades, the Phoenix Canal Murders r...

On a quiet street in Pontefract, a modest brick home became the center of one of the most violent and well-documented hauntings in British history. What began as strange noises, moving objects, and silly goose behavior, quickly escalated into something far more terrifying...an unseen force that could throw furniture, manipulate reality, and respond intelligently to anyone who challenged it. As the Pritchard family struggled to unde...

On May 26, 1990, Marlene Warren answered a knock at her front door, only to be met by someone no one ever expected...a clown. What followed would become one of the most bizarre and haunting murder cases in true crime history. With a strange but strong suspect, a possible affair, and decades of unanswered questions, this case took over 30 years to unravel. Light your candles, True Crime Coven...this one's a doozy.

Got a story ...

It’s mail time Ghouligans! This month we have four spine-tingling stories brought to you by you, the listeners. From time-traveling nightmares after a visit to the Zak Bagans Museum, to a chilling “Third Man” encounter, plus a childhood run-in with real-life monsters, and a tarot reading that may have led to a listener’s complete life reset. These stories blur the line between coincidence, intuition, and something far more unexplai...

Some urban legends are just spooky stories, but others come with rules. In this episode, we dive into four chilling urban legends from around the world; each with one thing in common: you’re safer if you don’t engage. From the eerie Three Knocks, to Japan’s terrifying Kuchisake-Onna, to the voice-mimicking horror of the Wendigo, and the Turkish entity known as "Karabasan." These aren’t just tales...they’re warnings.

And just to make...

On June 1, 2004, a 12-year-old girl didn’t return to class. What was later discovered inside an empty classroom shocked not only the school, but the entire community of Sasebo. But this case didn’t just make headlines, it took on a life of its own online. With identities hidden and details limited, the internet stepped in to fill the gaps; creating a story that blurs the line between reality and fiction.

What happens when a dorm room becomes too dangerous to live in? At Ohio University, it gets sealed… forever. Room 428 was permanently closed after a series of unexplained deaths, but the story doesn’t end there. From disembodied voices that turn to screams, to ghostly apparitions that like to snuggle, to a very dark history tied to a former psychiatric hospital, this campus holds more than just secrets…It holds energy. So strap on ...

Alright True Crime Coven, it’s time. Today we dive into Part 2 of The Suitcase Murder. Investigators begin to close in as new evidence, strange explanations, and unanswered questions collide. We get into the trial, the testimony, and even body language analysis, as the prosecution builds a case they believe is strong enough for a conviction. But the defense? They argue the gaps are too big to ignore. And years la...

Bill and Melanie McGuire looked like they had it all. A stable life, a growing family, and a new home on the horizon. But when Bill vanished one morning after a heated argument, that “perfect” marriage began to unravel. And the deeper investigators dug, the more complicated the truth became. This is a case that leaves people questioning what really happened. And Part 1 is where everything starts to feel a little off.

Tune in for how...

In August of 1994, a small town in Washington experienced something no one could explain—a mysterious, gelatinous substance falling from the sky. After coming into contact with this strange “sky goo,” residents reported sudden illness, animals died, and lab results only deepened the mystery. Was it environmental, biological… or something else entirely? This week, we’re exploring one of the strangest unsolved phenomena in U.S. histo...

In the 1950s, a series of brutal murders shook Toronto and left the city searching for answers. At first, investigators believed they had their killer — a 14-year-old boy was questioned and ultimately convicted for the crime. But the real killer was still at large… and he moved through the city quietly on a bicycle, searching for his next victim. In this episode of Suspects & Spirits, we examine the chilling case of Peter Woodc...

In 1960, the quiet Scottish village of Sauchie became the center of one of the most shocking poltergeist cases ever recorded. After 11-year-old Virginia Campbell moved into a home on Park Crescent, her family began experiencing violent knocking, moving furniture, and objects that seemed to come alive. Ministers, doctors, neighbors, and teachers all witnessed the activity. But the disturbances didn’t stay in the house. When Virginia...

Chandler Halderson had a bright future...or at least, that’s what he told everyone. But when quiet questions started being asked at home, he chose a solution far darker than the truth. Within days, his parents were missing, and the life he had so carefully constructed began to unravel. In today’s episode, we explore how Chandler's deception spiraled into an unthinkable crime... and how the cracks in his story (and Snapchat) ultimat...

After opening its doors in 1927, the hotel became the epicenter of Old Hollywood, hosting the first Academy Awards and housing legends like Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. But beneath all the fame also lies tragedy…including the 1962 death of actress Clara Blandick, AKA Auntie Em. In this episode, we examine the hotel’s l...

In January 2013, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead inside a rolled up wrestling mat at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. His death was ruled an accident caused by positional asphyxia, but the case has since been reopened, re-examined, and debated nationwide.

In January 1996, a quiet Brazilian city became the center of one of the most disturbing and controversial paranormal cases on record. What began as three sisters encountering a strange, non-human creature in a residential neighborhood quickly escalated into military convoys, sealed hospital wings, anonymous medical testimony, and the sudden death of a young military police officer. Often referred to as “Brazil’s Roswell,” the...
