Feral Nightmares
A true crime and supernatural podcast hosted by Taye and Binks
Episodes
A young woman chasing a fresh start ends up at the center of one of the most notorious unsolved murder investigations in American history. We’re Tay and Binks, joined by our guest Ashlyn, and we’re digging into the Black Dahlia case with the messy human details that the headline version skips, plus our usual chaos in the room when a “ghost” decides it has opinions.
We start with Elizabeth Shor...
A woman disappears on September 10, 2001, and by the next morning the world is unrecognizable. That’s the brutal timing at the center of Dr. Sneha Anne Philip’s story, a missing doctor who lived just blocks from the World Trade Center and was last confirmed on CCTV leaving Century 21 after shopping. We walk through what we know, what we can only infer, and why the last ordinary hours before a catastrophe...
A building nicknamed “a thousand doors” sounds like a fairytale until you learn what happened behind them. We’re Zachary Banks and Tay, and we open with a very real kind of haunting: grief, burnout, and the cultural shock of losing icons like Dolly Parton, plus the strange way dark humor becomes a life raft when you’re running on empty. We talk about why Dolly hits so hard for Tennesseans, wh...
The OJ Simpson case is one of those true crime stories people think they know until you lay out the timeline and the evidence in plain order. We go back to June 1994 and walk through what happens before the murders, what happens that night, and what investigators find at Nicole Brown’s South Bundy home, including the details that still make our stomachs drop. We also talk about Nicole as a victim of domestic v...
A “most haunted house in America” headline is easy. A haunting that falls apart under basic record checks is harder, and that’s where the Sally House in Atchison, Kansas gets fascinating. We walk through the famous origin story of a little girl named Sally and the alleged late-night surgery that supposedly ended in tragedy, then we stop and ask the uncomfortable question: where is the paper trail, ...
A woman lives alone on a ridge in 1800s Connecticut, refuses to perform polite grief, and somehow becomes the name everyone whispers when life goes wrong. We’re telling the story of Hannah Cranna, also known as Hannah Hovey, the Witch of Monroe, a piece of New England folklore that’s part local history, part oral tradition, and part communal paranoia. Between conflicting dates, shifting details, and gene...
You’ve probably heard the Kitty Genovese story as a punchline about human indifference: “38 people watched and nobody called the police.” That line is everywhere, and it’s also wildly misleading. We walk through what actually happened in Kew Gardens, Queens in the early morning hours of March 13, 1964, and why a case with real fear, real confusion, and real attempts to help got flattened into...
A kid’s autism assessment is supposed to be about your child, until the checklist starts sounding a little too familiar. We open with the kind of messy, unfiltered friendship talk that only works when you trust each other: mental health, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and that awkward moment where “the call is coming from inside the house” becomes a genuine push toward getting answers and being honest ...
A man walks into a Bronx speakeasy, drinks like it’s his full-time job, and accidentally becomes the toughest “target” a crew of would-be killers could have picked. We follow the real story of Michael Malloy, an Irish homeless alcoholic nicknamed Iron Mike, and the so-called Murder Trust that takes out life insurance policies and then tries everything to make his death look natural. Everything incl...
A woman locks up her salon after a normal workday, then vanishes before Mother’s Day and her own birthday. That’s where we start, with the disappearance of Florida hairstylist Jolene Cummings, a devoted mom in the middle of a divorce who never misses time with her kids. When she fails to show for a custody handoff, the search turns urgent and the questions get dark fast.
We walk through the invest...
A man murders a friend in Paris, commits cannibalism, and then somehow gets to live openly, publish books, and collect attention instead of a life sentence. That is the core horror behind the Kobe Cannibal case, and we walk through it step by step, from Issei Sagawa’s early warning signs and escalating obsession to the killing of René Hartevelt and the shocking failures that follow. If you’re searching f...
Nine skilled hikers head into the Ural Mountains in January 1959, and only one person ever makes it back. What follows is the Dyatlov Pass incident: a search that finds a half-collapsed tent, belongings and shoes left behind, and a slash in the fabric that appears to come from the inside. The footprints out of camp are described as strangely calm, and that single detail has kept this case alive for decades.
A “let’s bury the hatchet” invite. A short walk off campus. A 19-year-old who never makes it back. We’re Tay and Binx, and we’re telling the story of Colleen Slemmer, a young woman from Jacksonville, Florida who goes to Knoxville, Tennessee for Job Corps because she wants her GED and real career training. What she gets instead is a campus that feels unsafe, reports that go nowhere, and ...
A man can stab a guard in front of a thousand witnesses and still end up remembered as a quirky genius with a birdcage. That’s the uncomfortable tension we sit with as we tell the true crime story of Robert Franklin Stroud, the so-called Birdman of Alcatraz, and compare the legend to the record: violence, solitary confinement, prison politics, and the public’s appetite for a redemption narrative that fit...
