We’re back after two weeks off with: chaotic banter, horoscopes, hard boundaries, and a collective refusal to maintain the status quo. After checking in with the stars (Leo rejects productivity culture, Gemini confronts buried emotions and moral limits), the episode dives into two chilling stories:

The Hex Murder of Charles Walton

In 1945, elderly farm worker Charles Walton was found murdered in a field in Lower Quinton, England; his body pinned to the ground with farm tools, nearly decapitated. The killing happened near the ancient Rollright Stones, a site long associated with witchcraft and curses. The village refused to cooperate, witnesses fell silent, and even Scotland Yard admitted the case felt… different. The murder leaves behind whispers of ritual, fear, and folklore that still cling to the land.

Alison DuBois — The Medium Behind Medium

We then explore the real-life woman who inspired the TV series Medium. Alison DuBois claimed she could communicate with the dead — and repeatedly provided details in police investigations that allegedly led to recovered remains, cleared suspects, and insights into active serial crimes. Her most disturbing involvement surrounded Phoenix’s Baseline Killer, where her warnings about the killer’s psychology and escalation eerily matched what would later unfold.

Rearrange It From The Inside (with Rob Schulte from Vanderpump Robs)

After two weeks off with family, we’re back. This episode was recorded in November under the Scorpio New Moon, which (respectfully) came to collect.

In this episode we dive into two dark stories:

Story 1: The Lost Voices of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu (Montreal, Quebec)

A Canadian nightmare hiding in plain sight: a massive psychiatric institution with decades of overcrowding, cruelty, and tragedy, including the 1910 fire where women were trapped behind locked doors. We explore the historic horrors, the whispered local lore, and the chilling reports that followed: shadow figures, smoke smells, sobbing voices, beds indenting on their own, and sightings of burned “patients” wandering corridors long after the flames went out.

Story 2: The New York Zodiac

Not that Zodiac; the lesser-known killer who terrorized New York with a crosshair symbol, letters, and a supposed cosmic “plan” tied to Zodiac signs. We track the shootings through the early 1990s, the strange timing patterns, the task force that formed to catch him and how the case was finally cracked through an unexpected domestic incident that revealed a very real man behind the mythology.

Listener warning: institutional abuse, fire-related deaths, violence, and graphic crime details.

Stay spooky. We love you. Bye. 🖤
