Lipgloss & Lobotomies Podcast

What if I told you… humans actually glow? ✨ Not metaphorically—your body emits a faint bioluminescent light invisible to the naked eye. Yeah… you’re basically a walking ghost light and don’t even know it.

But while we’re glowing in the dark, history holds shadows far darker…

This week, we travel to Malaga Island—a place where real lives were torn apart. Families labeled “unfit,” forced from their homes, and erased under the guise o...

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into two stories that blur the line between myth, mystery, and something far more sinister.

First, we head into the depths of the Grand Canyon, where a bizarre 1909 newspaper article claimed the discovery of an ancient underground cavern filled with Egyptian artifacts, hieroglyphics, and even mummies. Was this an archaeological cover-up tied to the Smithsonian Institution, an e...

In this episode of Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we dive into two horrors—one microscopic, the other deeply human.

First, we unravel the unsettling truth about microplastics… the invisible invaders hiding in our water, our food, even our bodies. From the depths of the ocean to human bloodstreams, these tiny fragments have infiltrated nearly every corner of life on Earth. What does that mean for our health, our future, and the world we...

At first glance, they look like nothing—just faint little red dots scattered across a black sky. But those tiny specks captured by powerful telescopes? They’re entire galaxies… burning billions of light-years away. Some are so distant, we’re not seeing them as they are—but as they once were. In a way, we’re staring at the ghosts of the universe… echoes of something that may no longer even exist.

And if space teaches us anything, it...

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into stories that blur the line between tragedy and the unexplained. 💋🧠

First, we head to Joplin, Missouri, where the devastating 2011 tornado left behind not only destruction—but chilling accounts of the “Butterfly People.” Survivors, many of them children, described glowing, winged figures shielding them from harm. Guardian angels… trauma response… or something we can’t expla...

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re stepping into a place where grief rots into legend and the line between tribute… and obsession… disappears.

Deep in the canals of Xochimilco lies the infamous Island of Dolls—a haunting landscape where hundreds of decaying dolls hang from trees, their hollow eyes watching, waiting. What started as one man’s attempt to appease a restless spirit quickly spiraled into something far more di...

In this episode of Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re traveling from the edges of the universe to one of the most haunted houses in America. 🚀👻

Astronauts say space has a smell—something like burnt steak, gunpowder, and hot metal. But what exactly causes that strange cosmic scent? And what are the mysterious cosmic flashes astronauts have reported seeing behind their closed eyes while floating in orbit?

Then we head back down to Ea...

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into a scent of death… and a night of pure terror.

First up: putrescine — the chemical compound released when a body decomposes. Sweet, sickly, unforgettable. It’s the smell investigators know too well, the odor that clings to crime scenes, and one of the most haunting sensory details in forensic science. We’re breaking down what it is, why our brains react so strongly to it, and...

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re stepping into a house where eight people went to sleep… and never woke up.

In 1912, the small town of Villisca became the scene of one of America’s most haunting unsolved crimes: the Villisca Axe Murder House. An entire family — along with two young houseguests — brutally murdered in the middle of the night. The killer was never caught. And more than a century later, people say the hous...

This week we’re asking the real question:

Is he a green flag… or is he about to summon a demon in the basement? 👀🔪

We’re breaking down the husbands, boyfriends, and significant others of horror, sci-fi, and supernatural films and TV — from “he’d fight a ghost for you” energy to “why does he own that many locked trunks?” behavior.

Who’s protective vs. possessive? Who’s emotionally available vs. emotionally… possessed? And how many...

Crows never forget. Scientists say these highly intelligent birds can recognize human faces, remember harm for years, and even pass grudges down through generations. But what does it mean when memory becomes survival?

In this episode, we explore the eerie science behind crows and their long memories before turning to the heartbreaking 2017 murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams in Delphi, Indiana. We walk through the timeli...

In this episode, we unravel two unsettling American mysteries rooted in very real places. First, we head to Aurora, Texas, where in 1897 a strange craft reportedly fell from the sky—leaving behind wreckage, a mysterious pilot, and one of the earliest UFO stories in U.S. history. Then, we shift to Randolph County, Indiana, to explore the haunting legacy of the county asylum, where neglect, suffering, and whispered paranormal activit...

This week on Lipgloss and Lobotomies, we kick things off in the uncanny world of modern cinema, unpacking Bugonia and Together—two films that explore paranoia, control, and the creeping fear that something isn’t quite right beneath the surface. From Emma Stone’s unsettling performance in Bugonia to the quiet, intimate dread of Together, we talk about why these stories linger and share our opinions no one asked for.

Then, we shift f...

In this episode, we dive into two unsettling stories that prove mystery and violence can exist worlds apart — yet feel eerily connected.

We begin in 1966 Brazil, where two electronics technicians, Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, were found dead on Morro do Vintém Hill. Their bodies were dressed in suits and raincoats, each wearing a strange lead mask designed to shield their eyes. Nearby, police discovered a notebook ...

Nestled in the misty forests of North Idaho, Spirit Lake isn’t just scenic—it’s haunted. From ghostly children darting around the old Spirit Lake Elementary to mysterious shadows near the White Horse Saloon, locals whisper of spirits that linger on the lake’s foggy waters. 🛶🌙

Some say if you paddle out at twilight, you’ll see figures in the mist… but be careful—they might not be alone. 👀

Pretty mysteries meet heavy truths in this week’s episode.
