  • TRUE CRIME

An ambitious True Horrorchestration with cinematic elements. Stories of True Crime, Natural disasters and more, told in often graphic detail by a single narrator, with music chosen or composed with particular atmospheres and moods in mind. This podcast is not for everyone, as I spare no details. The stories you hear from me, will certainly be Worse Than Fiction.

    Death Investigator

    On this episode, friend of the podcast Landen Wilson joins me to talk about being a Death Investigator. He is a former Death Investigator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and performed many autopsies during his tenure. We also go over the unsolved murder case of Russell and Shirley Dermond, and Landen has a unique connection to the case that most people don't. He actually saw their bodies. His personal story about an incident that ultimately led to his resignation from the GBI can be heard on both Murder Was the Case, and Ignorance Was Bliss: Murder Was the Case, titled Headshot: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/251-headshot-part-1-death-investigator-dive-bar-w-landen/id1327969221?i=1000551708681 Ignorance Was Bliss, titled Full Evisceration: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/390-full-evisceration-with-landen-from-autopsy/id1341566170?i=1000551181208 Landen's podcast, Autopsy: https://www.autopsypod.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=29802408 https://www.facebook.com/WorseThanFictionPodcast https://twitter.com/WorseTFPodcast Podcast Promo: The Gen-X Gamer Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gen-x-gamer-podcast/id1516167335 Theme music by Ecdysis: https://ecdysis66.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ecdysisofficial/

    My Friend Murdered Paul Brown

    I'm not dead yet! ....I will be one day, but this isn't that day! I have posted about where I've been on both Twitter, and in the Facebook group, so if you want to interact directly with me, or get any news I might have, those are the best places to find it. This is a short true crime story I wrote a while back that I was personally involved in. The Murder of Paul Brown in Hamilton Ohio. I've pulled it from Patreon exclusivity, and I give to you all. It's...intimate, and very real, especially to me since it was so close to home. Just listen to it, this story probably has more soul than anything I've ever released. Content Warning by Emily G.

    Schizophrenia

    Here is the failed, former "Mental Horrors" that I mentioned in 8000 Tons. I failed hard at making it work the way I wanted, but as I explain in the intro, I went about it the wrong way and wasted many, many hours trying to write a story within this discussion. I decided to scrap it, and release this as-is. The Book Kate mentions in the conversation: "Flowers for Algernon" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36576608-flowers-for-algernon Thank you for your patience, and I'm charging headlong into the next episode, which is a story that few podcasters are brave enough to tell in detail.

    8000 Tons- a Minisode with updates

    A little episode to give everyone an update and remind followers that I'm still here! Not only that, but I go through a listener requested story without a script! I hope it isn't bad...and I'd be willing to bet that the overwhelming majority of you have never heard of this crime. The murder weapon is horrific to imagine, and the terror that the victims must have felt cannot be overstated.
