    Episode 187: A Suburban Nightmare - The Murder of Tabatha Bryant

    Why does it sometimes feel like its those with the most open hearts who are betrayed by those they care for? Tabatha Bryant was a energetic woman, a wife, mother and one such person with an open heart, always willing to help the people she loved. She opened her home to family in need, welcomed everyone into her life, and worked hard to keep her marriage together as it began to crumble. But in the summer of 2003, Tabatha was found murdered inside her own home. At first, there were more questions than answers. An affair, a troubled marriage, and a significant list of people who had complicated ties to Tabatha. But the more detectives dug, the more they uncovered a story far more disturbing than anticipated. The evidence took the case through a series of unexpected turns. But one aspect was clear: the murderer knew Tabatha well. In the end, 3 people would face prison time for their roles in Tabatha’s murder. This case is an example of how far someone could go when jealousy, betrayal, and the fear of losing everything took over. Tabatha Bryant’s murder reveals just how dangerous the people closest to us can actually be.   Sources: “Sex And Coke-Addicted New York Attorney Hires Wife’s Half-Brother To Kill Her” by Erik Hawkins on Oxygen True Crime on February 16, 2020 (https://www.oxygen.com/killer-affair/crime-news/tabatha-bryant-kevin-bryant-murder-cyril-winebrenner-affair-hire) “Slain ‘Tabby’ had ‘zest for life’” by Patrick Flanigan in The Democrat and Chronicle on July 19, 2003 “She Crossed Him — and He Couldn’t Deal: Inside the Tabby Bryant Murder Case” on Medium on November 10, 2025 (https://medium.com/@pieduplessis/she-crossed-him-and-he-couldnt-deal-inside-the-tabby-bryant-murder-case-140de86e25af) “Murder Arrests Stun Penfield” by Doloros Orman and Corydon Ireland in The Democrat and Chronicle on August 4, 2003 “The Truth is in the Blood: The Murder of Tabatha Bryant” by Olivia Mason on The Lineup on June 6, 2018 (https://the-line-up.com/betrayal-in-blood) “Penfield Neighbor Recalls Slain Mom” by Patrick Flanigan in The Democrat and Chronicle on July 17, 2003 “Lawyer’s arrest is problem for clients” by Will Astor on Rochester Business Journal on August 15, 2003 (https://rbj.net/2003/08/15/lawyers-arrest-is-problem-for-clients/) “Papers Outline Penfield Murder” by Greg Livadas and Jeffrey Blackwell in The Democrat and Chronicle on August 5, 2003 “Decision on Death Penalty Postponed” by Michael Zeigler in The Democrat and Chronicle on December 2, 2003 “Murder Suspect Faces 2 lawsuits” by Steve Orr and Greg Livadas in The Democrat and Chronicle on September 7, 2003 “The Wolf and The Sheep” on Someone You Thought You Knew, Season 1, Episode 3 on Discovery+ “Murder in the suburbs” on Killer Affair Season 1, Episode 11 on Fandango, January 18 2020 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/71701903/tabatha_marie-bryant https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/269714903/kevin_charles-bryant Stella Rosa Website - https://stellarosa.com/

    Episode 185: The Legend That Starves - The Wendigo

    What if the most terrifying monster isn’t something lurking in the woods but something you could become? The Wendigo or Wendigo is a cryptid who’s lore began with the Algonquian speaking Indigenous peoples, associated with insatiable hunger, greed, and the terrifying fear of losing your humanity. Unlike the antlered monsters we see in modern media today, traditional Wendigo folklore often focuses more on a hunger that can never be satisfied, and a transformation that turns a human away from its own humanity.  But this legend goes beyond folklore. There are stories of people who have murdered their own families, claiming to be possessed by the spirit of the Wendigo. Others have committed murder on someone they believed was in the process of transforming into one.  But were these cases examples of supernatural beliefs, desperate attempts to explain horrific violence, or something else entirely? From chilling historical accounts to the modern horror media, the Wendigo origins have changed and adapted over time. But the scariest question isn’t what’s hiding in the wilderness: it’s what happens when the monster is human.   Sources: “The Mythology and Misrepresentation of the Windigo” by Elizabeth McCauley on Back Story on November 23, 2016 (https://backstoryradio.org/blog/the-mythology-and-misrepresentation-of-the-windigo/) ”Beyond The Myths: Tracing The Real Origins of The Wendigo” by David J.O. on Medium on January 18, 2024 (https://medium.com/@jerom2210/beyond-the-myths-tracing-the-real-origins-of-the-wendigo-16842e0bc08b) “Gods and Monsters: The Wendigo” by Eve Volungeviciute on HCE Magazine (https://hcemagazine.com/gods-and-monsters-the-wendigo/) “The Wendigo Legend: Real Stories, Native Folklore, and Hauntings” on American Ghost Walks on July 11, 2025 (https://americanghostwalks.com/the-wendigo-legend-real-stories-native-folklore-and-hauntings) “Windigo” by Steve Pitt on The Canadian Encyclopedia on September 9, 2012 (https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/windigo) “More Than Monsters: The Deeper Significance of Wendigo Stories” by Kaitlin Smith on Facing History and Ourselves on November 30, 2021(https://www.facinghistory.org/ideas-week/more-monsters-deeper-significance-wendigo-stories) “What Is The Wendigo?

    Episode 184: The Haunting of the Sallie House

    In a small town along the Missouri River, in Atchison, Kansas, you’ll find quiet streets, historic homes, and a history that stretches back to the days of the American frontier. But tucked away on one of those streets is a house that has become one of the most talked about haunted locations in the country. It’s known as the Sallie House. And the stories surrounding this little Victorian home are enough to make you think twice about spending the night there. The legend begins with a little girl named Sallie, who, according to the story, died inside the home during a medical procedure in the early 1900s. Some believe her spirit never left. But here’s the thing: there’s no solid historical evidence confirming that Sallie ever lived or died there. Over the years, former residents have described unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and encounters that they say went far beyond the occasional creak in an old house. Some believe the spirit of a little girl is still there. Others think something much darker could be at play. But not everyone buys into the haunting. Some skeptics believe the entire legend was fabricated, and that the stories surrounding the house are nothing more than folklore that grew over time. Because when you start looking into the history of the Sallie House, you’re left with a question that’s difficult to ignore: are these people experiencing something they truly can’t explain, or is there a much more ordinary explanation hiding beneath the legend?

    Episode 183: Haunted Behind Bars - Old Charleston City Jail

    Charleston, South Carolina is city known for its beauty, history, and centuries-old buildings that fill the streets. But beneath that beautiful history is a much darker past. For more than a century, the Old Charleston City Jail was a place of incarceration. Thousands of people were housed in its walls — criminals, enslaved people awaiting sale, prisoners of war, and others. Disease. Violence. Overcrowding. Executions and death were all extremely common among the inmates. The building eventually closed its doors in 1939. But the stories didn't stop. They only spread further. Today, the old jail is associated with reports of a multitude of unexplained footsteps, voices, moving objects and more. And then there are the stories surrounding some of the jail's most notorious prisoners.  But here's the problem: Some of these details of the history have been embellished, becoming folklore. Separating the documented history from the legend isn't exactly simple. What really happened inside those walls? What experiences are real? Where does fact end, and the haunting begin?     “The Haunted Old Charleston Jail” on Haunted Rooms Co.

    Episode 182: Haunting in Indiana - Willows Weep

    Cayuga, Indiana, a small Midwestern community surrounded by open fields, quiet roads, and farmland stretching toward the horizon. The kind of place where life moves a little slower. And that's part of what makes the story of Willows Weep so unsettling. Because this isn't some abandoned mansion hidden deep in the woods. For years, it was simply a house in an ordinary community. And yet, according to the stories surrounding it, there was nothing ordinary about what happened inside. Willows Weep has been described as having a distinctive cross-shaped design, with some paranormal accounts claiming that parts of the house form inverted crosses and even pentagram-like patterns. Then there are the stories the strange layout of the home, and objects supposedly discovered during renovations. But this is where things get complicated. The further you dig into Willows Weep, the harder it becomes to separate the history from the legend. There are claims that multiple people died inside the house, along with stories of mysterious deaths and tragedies involving former residents. And then there are the people who say they experienced something they simply couldn't explain. Doors opening and slamming on their own. Loud banging coming from beneath the floors and inside the walls. And some visitors even claimed they were touched or attacked by something they couldn't see. But there's another side to this story. There have also been accusations that some of the darker history surrounding Willows Weep was exaggerated, embellished, or even fabricated, stories shaped over time to fit the idea that this house was harboring something evil. And if that's true, it changes everything. Because maybe the question isn't whether Willows Weep was haunted. Maybe it's something much simpler...What if the story of Willows Weep wasn't even true?

    Episode 181: The Silence After the Shot - Trent DiGiuro

    In the summer of 1994, Trent DiGiuro had every reason to believe his life was just beginning. He was 20 years old, a starting offensive lineman for the University of Kentucky football team, a good student, and the kind of friend everyone wanted. Just days before his 21st birthday, Trent’s friends threw him a small party at his off campus home. But around 2am, a gunshot echoed through the night. Trent was sitting on the porch…but he never got up. For five years, the case went nowhere. Then, someone finally came forward. A woman claimed her ex boyfriend had confessed to killing Trent while they had been dating.  What followed this information was a secret meeting at an airport, a wire recording, a search warrant—and a rifle found under this man’s bed. A jury eventually convicted him of Trent’s murder. But years later, that conviction was overturned. The story still wasn’t over. And while the legal story surrounding Trent’s murder became increasingly complicated, Trent’s family chose a very different way to keep his name alive. They turned their grief into a legacy.  What really happened on that porch in Lexington? And how did a murder that was cold for years eventually lead investigators to a man they believed had a reason to pull the trigger?   Sources: “College Football Player Killed in “Assassination” During 21st Birthday For Shockingly Petty Reason” by Jill Sederstrom on Oxygen True Crime on July 19, 2026 (https://www.oxygen.com/the-killer-among-us/crime-news/the-killer-among-us-shane-ragland-killed-trent-digiuro) “Police Still Trying to Unravel Murder Without a Motive” by Eric Gregory in The Lexington Herald-Leader on December 17, 1994 “Man convicted of killing UK player in ‘90s back in court in another new case” by Valarie Honeycutt Spears on Lexington Herald Leader on September 22, 2025 (https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/crime/article312199494.html) “Police Think Rifle Shot Killed UK Player” by Eric Gregory in The Lexington Herald-Leader on July 21, 1994 “'Dateline': Kentucky football player's killing was unsolved until a confession led to a suspect” by Emily Wickwire on NBC News on March 22, 2019 (https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/dateline-kentucky-football-player-s-killing-was-unsolved-until-confession-n986336) “Police, Friends Seek Answers in Fatal Shooting” by Brian Bennett and John Clay in The Lexington Herald-Leader on July 19, 1994 “A shot in the dark that shocked the University of Kentucky community” by Aaron Burrell on WBAL TV on February 8, 2023 (https://www.wbaltv.com/article/hometown-tragedy-the-football-star-shooting/42803161) “Out of the Blue – A Life Filled with Promise, A Death Steeped in Mystery” by Eric Gregory in The Lexington Herald-Leader on December 17, 1994 “Notorious 1990s slaying of UK football player featured in new true crime series” by Killian Baarlaer, Louisville Courier Journal on Yahoo!
