    The Murder of Sherri Rasmussen: A Deadly Obsession

    In 1986, 29-year-old Sherri Rasmussen was found brutally murdered inside her Los Angeles home. While investigators blamed a botched burglary, Sherri’s family repeatedly pointed toward someone much closer to the couple. For 23 years, the case went cold. Until DNA evidence revealed that Sherri’s killer wasn’t a random burglar at all. This was someone from her husband’s past who had spent decades hiding in plain sight… inside the LAPD. This week, we’re diving into the murder of Sherri Rasmussen, the evidence investigators overlooked, and the cold case that finally exposed an LAPD detective. Got a story to tell?

    Leap Castle: Ireland’s Bloody Nightmare

    Deep in County Offaly, Ireland, sits a centuries-old castle with a history of betrayal, murder, and enough paranormal activity to earn it a reputation as one of the most haunted castles in the world. 👻🏰 This week, we’re heading inside Leap Castle, where a priest was allegedly murdered by his own brother during Mass in a place called the “Bloody Chapel.” Visitors here have reported ghostly children, phantom footsteps, and uninvited bedroom guests. But nothing quite prepares you for the medieval human drop box hidden beneath the chapel. You may want to mentally prepare for this one…because depending on which accounts you believe, as many as 19 different spirits have reportedly been associated with Leap Castle. In other words, it's haunted AF. Got a story to tell? Send it in for the next episode of Boo's Clues! 📬 suspectsandspiritspod@gmail.com And help spread the word!

    It's mail time! 💌👻 This month, we've got UFOs, a glitch in the matrix, a creepy kid who somehow knew things they could not have possibly known, and a haunted house with a hell slide, Satan’s ball pit, and one very unfortunate trip to the emergency room.

    The Keddie Cabin Murders

    On the morning of April 12, 1981, 14-year-old Sheila Sharp walked home from a sleepover and opened the door to Cabin 28. Inside, she discovered a horrific scene: her mother, Sue, her brother, John, and his best friend, Dana, had been brutally murdered. Somehow, Sheila’s two younger brothers and their friend had survived the night and were still sleeping peacefully in a nearby bedroom. But her 12-year-old sister, Tina, was nowhere to be found. What followed was an investigation filled with disturbing suspects, questionable police work, missing evidence, and clues that wouldn’t resurface for decades. More than 45 years later, the Keddie Cabin murders remain unsolved. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some very strong opinions about who was responsible...You may want to sit down for this one.

    The Devil Went Down to Kansas (Stull Cemetery)

    What if one of the gateways to Hell was hiding in a tiny Kansas cemetery? This week, we're heading to Stull Cemetery, a quiet rural graveyard with one hell of a reputation. For decades, legends have claimed that this cemetery is home to one of the Seven Gateways to Hell...a place where Satan himself supposedly appears twice a year. Today we dig into the real history of Stull. We will learn about the abandoned stone church, witchcraft, the Devil's child rumored to be buried there, and a mysterious staircase said to lead to the underworld. We will also take a look at some of the strange paranormal encounters, and why the Pope refuses to go anywhere near this place. How did an ordinary Kansas cemetery become synonymous with Satan? And are the stories evidence of something sinister...? Or a perfect example of an urban legend taking on a life of its own? Lock in, Ghouligans. We're going to Hell. 🔥👻 Got a story to tell?

    Jodi Arias: The Murder of Travis Alexander (Part 2)

    Here we go again... and this time, it's even messier. As detectives began closing in on Jodi Arias' road trip, her carefully crafted story started to unravel and change. And with each new version, investigators uncovered more evidence that prosecutors argued pointed to premeditation. In Part 2, we'll examine the recovered camera photos, the rental car, extra gas cans, phone records, and the timeline that ultimately dismantled her alibi. And just when you think it can't get any stranger... we'll dive into the trial that captivated millions. From Jodi's bizarre interrogation behavior and unforgettable courtroom exchanges to the allegations she made against Travis Alexander and the lies she later admitted to under oath. We'll cover the verdict, sentencing, Jodi's life behind bars, and the lasting impact this case had on Travis's family, friends, and the true crime community. Got a story to tell?

    Ohio Is for Spooky Tunnels: The Haunting of Moonville

    Deep within Ohio's Zaleski State Forest lies the abandoned Moonville Tunnel, a crumbling railroad passage with a history as dark as the shadows inside it. Once part of a bustling mining town connected by the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad, the tunnel witnessed tragic accidents, deadly train collisions, and the slow disappearance of an entire community. But according to local legend... not everyone left. This week, we're exploring the documented history of Moonville, the fatal 1880 railroad collision that may have sparked its most famous ghost story, and the eerie reports that have persisted for more than a century. So settle in, spooky nerds, and join me as we dive into the history and folklore of Ohio’s most haunted railway. Plus, enjoy some bonus commentary from our special guest, Brandon Lawrence (my resident ghost). Got a story to tell?
