    The People’s Temple : The Rise and Fall of Jonestown

    The Jonestown tragedy remains one of the most disturbing and unforgettable events in modern history. In this episode of Creepy Confidential, we open the case file on Jim Jones and the People’s Temple, exploring how a movement rooted in equality, social justice, and community spiraled into one of the deadliest cult massacres of all time. On November 18, 1978, 918 members of the People’s Temple — including more than 200 children — died in Jonestown, Guyana, after being forced to consume cyanide-laced Flavor Aid in what Jim Jones called “revolutionary suicide.” The horrifying images shocked the world and forever changed how we understand cults, charismatic leaders, and psychological manipulation. In this deep-dive episode, we examine: The early life of Jim Jones, from his childhood in Indiana to his rise as a charismatic preacher The formation and growth of the People’s Temple, including its emphasis on racial integration and social programs How political power, staged miracles, and absolute loyalty helped Jones maintain control The move to Jonestown, Guyana, and the reality behind the so-called utopian commune The events leading up to the murder of Congressman Leo Ryan The chilling final hours of Jonestown, including audio from Jim Jones himself We also explore the lasting legacy of Jonestown — from the origin of the phrase “drinking the Kool-Aid” to the lessons this tragedy offers about faith, power, coercion, and vulnerability in human communities.

    Chessie and Champ : The Monsters Beneath

    Every lake has a legend… and some legends refuse to stay buried. In this chilling episode of Creepy Confidential, host Noelle dives deep into the dark waters of American cryptid lore to uncover the truth behind two of the most terrifying lake monsters ever reported: Champ of Lake Champlain and Chessie of the Chesapeake Bay. From ancient Native American legends and early explorer accounts to newspaper reports, sonar recordings, photographs, and classified military sightings, this episode explores centuries of encounters with massive, serpentine creatures lurking beneath the surface.

    Faces of the Dead : The History of Death Masks

    What if the last thing left behind wasn’t a memory…but a face? In this chilling episode of Creepy Confidential, host Noelle opens the case files on one of the most haunting and intimate traditions in human history: death masks. Long before photography, the only way to preserve a person’s likeness was to take it directly from the dead. Using plaster, wax, or clay, artists and anatomists captured faces just hours after death—freezing the final expression forever. From ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, where faces were believed to guide the soul into the afterlife, to medieval Europe and the Victorian obsession with death, this episode explores how death masks became tools of immortality, power, science, and control. We examine the most famous and disturbing examples in history, including: Napoleon Bonaparte’s death mask and the fight over his true likenessAbraham Lincoln’s haunting post-assassination maskLudwig van Beethoven’s final expression, captured in plasterMarie Tussaud’s Revolutionary-era death masks, taken from executed noblesL’Inconnue de la Seine, the Unknown Woman whose face became the model for the CPR training doll used worldwideThis episode dives into morbid history, forbidden art, and the psychological need to preserve the face of the dead—asking why humans have always been drawn to what remains after life has left the body. Are death masks acts of reverence… or an uncomfortable intimacy with mortality? Pour yourself a creepy curated quencher and join us as we confront death face-to-face. Because some faces don’t fade— they wait.
