    #41 - God Bless Afroman: Lawsuits and Lemon Pound Cakes

    This week on Spooky Darlings, Emily takes Hayley and Nettie down one of the most bizarre legal rabbit holes we’ve ever covered—the Afroman defamation lawsuit. What started as a police raid on Afroman’s home quickly turned into a viral moment… and then a full-blown legal battle. After officers searched his house, Afroman used security footage from the raid in his music, merch, and social media—leading several officers to file a lawsuit against him, claiming defamation, invasion of privacy, and emotional distress. So what actually happened during the raid? What did Afroman put in his songs and videos?  Emily breaks down the timeline of the raid, the lawsuit filed by the officers, and the trial—while Hayley and Nettie react in real time to one of the strangest intersections of true crime, music, and the legal system. It’s weird. It’s messy. It’s unexpectedly hilarious. And … it involves lemon pound cake.

    Next stop on our Cryptid Crawl is the Bluegrass State of Kentucky, where we consider the Hopkinsville Goblins— curious gravity-defying creatures with glowing hands and eyes, the Kentucky Gravediggers— scavenging grave stalkers, and the Pope Lick Monster— a half man-half goat that haunts a railroad trestle. From farms, to graveyards, to railroads— these Kentucky cryptids do not disappoint! Sources: Wikipedia, WDRB Louisville News, Encyclopedia of Louisville by John E.

    #39- Left for Dead: the Case of Inna Budnytzka

    In 2005, a 21-year-old woman walked into a hotel near the Miami airport. Hours later, she was found left for dead miles away, the victim of a brutal attack. Security cameras never showed her leaving the building. No witnesses saw her walk out. How did a young woman disappear from a hotel filled with cameras without anyone noticing? How did she end up in a remote lot outside the city? In this episode, we follow the obsessive trail of a private investigator who refused to let the mystery die—and whose theory would expose a man connected to multiple violent crimes across several states.

    #38 - The Art of the Clap Back: Feuds, Fame, and a Formal Thank you to Beyoncé

    This week in a special Spooky Darlings 3D episode, we are turning up the volume on some of the music industry's most iconic feuds. From the decade- long rivalry of 50 Cent and Ja Rule to the carefully chronicled conflicts surrounding Taylor Swift, to the electric and sometimes comical competition between legends Michael Jackson and Prince, - we are diving into ego, artistry, revenge tracks and the power plays that have shaped our modern music culture. Three sisters, three dark tales of revenge and maybe even murder? (And, and just to cover our bases, we'd like to sincerely thank Beyoncé.)

    There's no place like home, and there's no place like Kansas, our 16th stop along the Cryptid Superhighway. This week, The Spooky Darlings drop into the Sunflower State,  where there is more to fear than deadly tornadoes. Amidst the giant blooms and sinkholes, lurk several mysterious monsters. This episode explores Sinkhole Sam - a strange creature seen slithering around several sinkholes  and lakes, eluding to an underground cave system, The Hamburger Man - a  terrifying apron-wearing meat-smearing roadside legend, and, The Thing on Unknown lane, a creature too tall, too thin, and too creepy for words.  Sources: https://flinthillsparanormal.com/cryptozoology/kansas-cryptids/tall-thin-creatures-in-the-woods/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptids/comments/o5r3eh/white_skinned_creature_ks/ https://kansascitymag.com/is-there-a-mysterious-monster-lurking-in-a-kansas-sinkhole-1/ Hutchisoncollegian.com Jamessanney.com Thehorrordome.com  Message us!
