We begin this week at The Northern Crown: An extravagant Russian hotel that never welcomed a single guest, accumulated decades of deaths, rumors, and claims of a towering shadow figure lurking inside—and one worker says he discovered just how dangerous that presence was shortly before the building was finally demolished. Then... holy cow is this is a weird one. The story of Alyoshenka. When an elderly Russian woman claimed she'd brought home a tiny, bizarre humanoid she found crying in the woods, no one believed her—until other witnesses saw it too, police recovered its mummified body, and an increasingly bizarre mystery began to unfold. We travel back to the US where we visit Cincinnati's Music Hall for a series of creepy events. Wrapping up this weeks show, a young child makes an offering to something that keeps visiting her. Also! Exciting news! We were lucky enough to voice a carnival couple, Hank and his wife, for the episode, “Clown Heads” By Em Starr on THE NO SLEEP PODCAST! Do yourselves a favor and go check it out! Tell us how we did! Be sure to leave David and his team a 5 star review where you consume this media. We hope you enjoy this special collaboration as much we loved doing it!

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
